5) Writing Fresh Content For 7 Cups: Guidelines

SoulfullyAButterfly January 31st, 2021

Through this discussion, we will discuss the basic guidelines for writing fresh content articles for 7 Cups.

The following are some general guidelines to keep in mind:

  1. Include an Article Sub-headline/header: one sentence, no punctuation at the end, this subheader goes under the title that encapsulates the piece -- (We will discuss this soon)

  2. Article Length: 1000-2000 words.

  3. Break up the article using Subheadings.

  4. The article should not be previously published.

  5. Include at least one non-copyrighted photo, at least 1200 pixels x 630 pixels in size (from Unsplash, etc). If one is not provided, it will be sourced for you!

  6. For any facts or studies quoted, please provide sources as footnotes/listed at the end of your article.

  7. For quotes from other professionals, consider back-linking to their professional websites, research-work links, etc. All articles will go through an editing process for optimization after submission as well!

  8. Submit your Article as a Google Doc link to ayesha@7cups.com / Link it to the dashboard with editing access if provided a dashboard/ OR use the required form for submission as per what you have been guided on protocol.

  9. You will be informed once your article has been published so that you can share and promote it as well! We will also share it on 7 Cups social media accounts.

  10. When provided, please ensure that you include as many keywords, these keyword insights can also be used to guide the outline of your article.

Please feel free to share any questions about these guidelines by replying to this thread.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Hi is there a maximum or minimum amount of references we should have as part of the article?

Aim for at least two. But you can have as many as you need. I think two to five is good.

SoulfullyAButterfly OP July 27th, 2023

@Mari228 it is a good idea to look at 2-4 external references and also try to link around 2 existing 7 Cups resources. However, this is not a fixed rule and can vary per article.

@heathermarie95 currently published ones are available to review at www.7cups.com/experts Usually, there are many different angles/titles we can place for similar topics so we can work on that too.
