Our principles
Oneflow can’t guarantee publication
Our team reviews all suggestions for guest posts and submissions we get. We make the selection based on several factors, such as SEO value and relevance to our audience.
However, we reserve the right to:
- Decline to publish your guest post if it doesn’t meet our standards and requirements
- Edit and modify your guest blog content for search engine optimization, accuracy, completeness, and relevance if the information in the original piece becomes outdated or needs to be re-evaluated
- Add calls-to-action to Oneflow content and offers
- Remove the post from the blog
Submissions must meet our standards
Guest blogs don’t have to follow our tone of voice but we encourage you to write in a conversational manner. Pretend you’re writing to a peer, avoiding tech jargons and buzzwords, while maintaining trust, credibility and professionalism. Write to educate, empower and entertain. Don’t sell.
We ask you to:
- Don’t link to our competitors
- Write in American English
- Avoid anything that could be interpreted as legal advice
- Avoid defining technical terms
Any suggested edits must be accepted. Our editors reserve the right to decline submissions that don’t meet our editorial standards.
