What an opinion piece is
We are looking for opinion pieces that are:
Authoritative: The main purpose of an opinion piece is to share your unique perspective. Your arguments may be based on evidence and facts, but they should ultimately reflect your personal viewpoint.
Persuasive: A well-written opinion piece aims to persuade its readers and make them see the topic from the author’s perspective.
Focused: An opinion piece should have a clear focus or main argument that the rest of the article supports.
What an opinion piece is not
We will not accept content that is:
A News Report: An opinion piece is not an objective presentation of facts or an update on your comany. It is a subjective piece that shares your point of view.
A Sales Pitch: While an opinion piece can mention products or services, it should not serve as a direct advertisement. If you wish to promote specific products or services, please contact us about advertising opportunities.
A Repository for Links: We understand the value of backlinks, but they should not detract from the overall quality and focus of the article. As mentioned earlier, backlinks carry a nominal fee and should be relevant to the content provided.
