Tips for Submitting Guest Posts
To give you the best chance of having your Guest Posts published on ACXPA, we recommend the following:
-
Follow guidelines. Refer to our ‘Rules’ tab and make sure they are followed!
-
Write something unique. Don’t regurgitate the same information that’s in every post on the topic. We value a unique angle or a more comprehensive guide that demonstrates knowledge or an informed view on a topic.
-
Include internal links. Including internal links to other articles on ACXPA shows that you’re a thoughtful writer and makes it far more likely we will publish your article.
- Get a feel for existing articles. Click here to see a view of articles already published on ACXPA.
-
Include links to your site. We typically allow one link (possibly more) if they are relevant. Avoid linking to your home page, your sales page, affiliate links, or any other page that doesn’t offer value to the reader as they will typically be removed.
-
Check your grammar and spelling. There are lots of free writing tools like Grammarly (which we use) or the Hemingway App.
- Use local spelling. Please use Contact Centre (not Contact Center)
-
Include images. We always prefer if you submit your own images that add value to your article. You can submit a number of images with each article via our online form below.

ONLINE GUEST POSTS SUBMISSION FORM
Due to increasingly sophisticated spambots, we have been forced to switch off our automatic submission for guest posts temporarily.
We aren’t really sure what these people are trying to achieve or who is behind it, but all you are doing is ruining opportunities for genuine people so perhaps consider other people for a change instead of yourself.
