Oneflow guest blog guidelines

Hi there – thanks for your interest in contributing to our blog!

Before you submit your idea, please take a moment to go through our guidelines. They cover:

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for search engine optimization, accuracy, completeness, and relevance if the information in the original piece becomes outdated or needs to be re-evaluated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.

Types of posts we accept

There are a few types of articles we’d love to have on our blog.

  • Thought leadership article
  • Listicle article
  • How to guide article

Thought leadership article

This type of article should bring a new perspective to the table, present an idea, or state an opinion. Share your arguments and back them up with data or trusted sources.

Here are some examples of thought leadership topics:

  • Why cold-calling is not dead, even in 2023 
  • The future of sales in a product-led growth era

Listicle article

Share your favorite list of stuff with our readers. Here are some examples of such articles:

  • Top 77 sales tools to speed up your sales cycle
