This page is our approach on how to manage Guest Posts. We invite you to write
for us. Use the form to submit your content. After your first submission, you will
get an activation mail with all relevant links and we will review your content
before it gets published and give you feedback if needed.
Why we did decide to offer Guest Posts?
How often you get a message from someone ASKING if he could write some content for your blog as a guest author?
ThemeKraft gets a lot of these requests every week in our support.
The question is how to separate the good from the bad and give honest authors the tools they need. This question motivated us to find an easy solution to better handle this, letting the users write for us.
First, we create a mail template in our helpdesk to automatically redirect new requests to a landing page with all needed information and the form.
Second BuddyForms is all about User-generated Content and the form below is one great example of the usage of BuddyForms. We add all views to write and review and manage guest posts with BuddyForms Core – BuddyForms Members – BuddyForms Moderation
AND now we ask you to join our blog and write some content!
What you get from it
You get listed as an Author under your guest posts in a noisy and fancy AuthorBox with a link to your site.
You can link to other sites in the content if it is relevant and not a backlink hack or an unserious link. We will always review any link with care!
