Contribute To Freelance Folder

If you clicked the “write for us” link, it’s probably because you are interested in writing for FreelanceFolder. Great! :)

We are a team of freelancers, writers, designers, entrepreneurs, small business owners, marketers, [insert title here], and of course we’re always looking for quality content to publish on our blog (12,000+ rss readers).

If you’re a writer and know a lot about freelancing, working online or owning a small business, you can give great advices on branding, marketing, productivity, dealing with clients (and other related topics), or you can write ‘how-to’ posts, please get in contact with Mason (contact form here).

What We Are Looking For

Please take some time to read the posts already published, so you get the idea of what FreelanceFolder is about. We’re looking for well-written posts/articles that freelancers, entrepreneurs, designers, writers, etc.. will be interested in reading, as simple as that.

Please, if you submit an article for publication on Freelance Folder, make sure it is an original article. There is no need to submit an article that has already been published elsewhere, it’ll not get published again on FF.

Here are some great examples:

• 7 Can’t-Miss Ways To Kick-Start The Writing Habit
• 3 Things Your Customers Won’t Tell You … Unless You Ask
• Selling Yourself On The Value Of Your Time
• Do You Think Like An Entrepreneur? - If Not, Maybe That’s What’s Holding You Back
• Is Your Website Helping Or Hurting Your Business?
• Biting The Bullet: 5 Reasons Why Arguing With Unruly Clients Will Get You Nowhere
• How To Get Paid Freelance Work While You’re Still A Design Student

If you’re looking to get a little more exposure to your own blog and want to get your name out there, writing on FreelanceFolder should help you do just that. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a longer term freelance writing gig please contact Mason to discuss it further.

Rules And Guidelines

Here are some basic “rules and guidelines”. Common sense really. ;)

• 400 words minimum
• No need to send images, unless they’re cool and we have the rights to use them (or suggest one and we’ll buy it on iStockPhoto)
• Spell check before sending your post(s).
• If you’re not sure, send a sample of your work. (we don’t bite :) )
• We reserve the right to edit your post (h3 and strong tags, punctuation, grammar, etc…)
• Include a byline/signature (with 2 links max)
• Please… no affiliate links in your posts
• No links to questionable websites (link farms, MFA, adult)
• If you write about an experience you had with a client (good or bad), please do not mention any names (use your imagination!)
• You agree that the posts will never be republished elsewhere (or were not previously published on another website)

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate, and contact Mason through our contact form. Please put “Write For Us” in the subject line.

Thank you very much,

The FreelanceFolder Team
