I appreciate your interest in contributing to BabyBoomster.com. To maintain the integrity and focus of this site, please read the following writer guidelines. If you cannot meet my requirements do not submit your content.
Who can guest post
- I only allow guest posts from writers and bloggers 50 AND OLDER with a blog or personal website. Content writing company posts will be rejected. (I prefer to give others in my demographic the opportunity to contribute to gain backlinks.)
- Baby Boomster’s target audience is active older women over 50. Most are over 60 and popular topics include beauty, fashion, travel, and lifestyle.
- Although my audience is “elderly” we think young and do not focus on geriatric concerns such as nursing homes, adult diapers, hearing aids, etc. (Those topics are important but not what BabyBoomster is about.)
- A guest post is not your opportunity to sell your product. It is to provide valuable and helpful information to its readers. Links to shopping or affiliate marketing pages will be removed.
Technical requirements
Writers may link to their website and ONE or TWO reference links if they provide useful information pertinent to the article.
Please write EVERGREEN rather than seasonal or topical articles providing tips and personal insights on topics that range from travel, fashion, beauty, wellness, entertainment, finance, or other lifestyle categories.
I reserve the right to add internal and external links, including affiliate links. Any affiliate links inserted by a writer will be removed.
Break up paragraphs using H2 or H3 headers and adhere to best SEO practices. Write headlines that include the content’s main keyword and write it in a way that will compel visitors to read the post. (70 characters max) DO NOT BOLD headers or indent paragraphs.
I may edit your post for brand consistency, SEO purposes, spelling/grammar, and language. My audience is majority USA-based so words like “whilst” or “hence” do not fly.
Your post will be scheduled according to my editorial calendar so please don’t ask for a deadline or send a reminder email.
Once your post is accepted, please submit a two-sentence bio. I will also need your email address and headshot if you are not connected to Gravatar.
Please attach your post in a Microsoft Word or Google Drive document and not directly in an email. Posts should be approximately 500 – 2000 words in length.
If you have original photos that are free from copyright and available to share you can attach them to your email. This is optional. If you don’t have images, I will provide them.
Original Content
All submissions must be original content not published anywhere else on the web. DO NOT submit AI-generated content.
Posts must include personal and valuable insights and not be bland or formulaic. Knowledge of basic SEO is expected.
Once your article has been published it is the property of BabyBoomster.com and may be removed at my discretion if it becomes irrelevant. (Example: You wrote about COVID protocol and it is no longer valid) Links may also be removed if they are reported to be broken.
In return for posting your content for free, I would appreciate it if you share it on social media as I will be doing the same.
If you meet these guidelines, you may send your guest post submission to rebecca@babyboomster.com.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Rebecca Forstadt Olkowski
