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.

What can it be about 

 That is well detailed on what you all expected  but it does sound intimidated for sure.

@Heartsandrosesandpaws single space is ok. As long as you differ your headings (H1, H2 and so on) you can also use any font size and formatting. I usually prefer Arial

I have read the discussion, "Writing Fresh Content for 7Cups".

Question: What if we don't want our article to be published?

@PetiteSouris Hi, you can inform the team by also writing a note on top of your submission and we won't publish it then

@Eitas Hi there, you will be prompted to submit your first article during the program later on. These are only some guidelines to keep in mind. We only allow for 1 main image in the article. The other style is up to you and this Program does help you come up with an outline and other ideas too in the upcoming discussions
