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

Thank you for the article guidelines! They were very helpful! My only question would be why we aren't supposed to put punctuation under the subjeadings?

@CoffeeAddict07 thank you for this question! this is just our general presentation, but in general, titles and headings do not need to be punctuated unless for example, it is a question. Additionally, if you subheading was more than a sentence you could consider using punctuation but at 7 Cups, we try our best to just use one short sentence.
