To maintain the high quality of my blog, I have established the following guidelines for guest posts.
​
1. Content Quality and Relevance
-
All submissions must be original, exclusive content that has not been published elsewhere.
-
Articles should provide value, insight, or entertainment to our audience, aligning with topics like gemstones, ethical sourcing, photography, travel, or personal anecdotes.
-
Posts should be well-researched, engaging, and at a minimum of 800 words.
2. Topic Approval
-
Proposed topics must receive prior approval to ensure they align with our blog’s objectives and interests of our readers.
-
We encourage guest contributors to suggest multiple topics for consideration.
3. Do-Follow Links
-
Guest posts may include up to two do-follow links, including one to your website and one to an authoritative external source.
-
Links should be relevant and contribute positively to the reader’s experience.
4. Editorial Rights
-
Gemstone Detective Blog reserves the right to edit content for clarity, style, or length.
-
I may alter headlines and choose accompanying images or graphics as needed.
5. Compensation
-
Payment is required upfront and will be conducted via BACS transfer.
-
Pricing varies based on topic complexity and the contributor’s credentials. Please contact me directly for a quote.
6. Publishing Timeframe

Once your article is accepted, it typically takes 7-14 days to review and publish.
-
I will notify you if there are any unexpected delays.
7. Additional Terms

All posts require a short author bio, which may include one social media link.

Ensure compliance with copyright and legal standards relevant to your content.
