Looking To Write A Guest Post For The Lean Labs Blog?
Our Audience
Before you write something for our site, you should probably have an idea of the content that we write and whom we write that content for.
Lean Labs provides content for CEOs and CMOs who are looking to grow their businesses by being better.
While you'll find some content that appears to target marketers, that's no longer our goal. Articles focused on marketing tactics won't cut it anymore. Oh, and we refuse to publish cheap gimmicks.
It's also important to note that we prefer working with tech and SaaS companies, so written articles should be pertinent to this audience.
Bad Examples:
- The 7 Best Email Subject Lines for eCommerce Success
- 4 Crafty Techniques for Earning Testimonials that Shine
- How to Promote Your Holiday Sales to Increase Cart Value
Good Examples:
- How Much Do Tech and SaaS Growth Strategies Cost?
- 5 Lethal Problems that Kill Most Growth Marketing Strategies
- 7-Step vs. 5-Step Sales Process: A Look at the Pros and Cons
Internal/External Links
For internal links, by all means, use what you need across our site. If it's been published on our blog, it's fair game to use as a resource in your content.
External links are a bit trickier. We're fine with links to external webpages (do-follow), so long as the content is valuable to our audience. This is subjective, and we reserve the right to remove any links we feel don't contribute to the overall benefit of the article.
If you want to recommend content to level up some of our current posts, read the Resource Recommendations section below.
You may not include affiliate links in your article.
Images
When using images, we ask that you compress your images and title the image related to the article.
Grammar
All blogs posts must be run through Grammarly and read through for wording issues, grammar, and spelling issues.
Formatting
All blog posts must be submitted in Google Docs and must follow the following structure:
Our articles have one H1 tag (the title), an intro, one H2, segue text, and the rest of the article uses H3s and H4s as necessary. Check out some of our articles to see the structure and read our article How To Write A Bullet-Proof Blog Post Outline In 5 Minutes.
We'll help with formatting if needed, but we're more likely to accept articles that don't require a lot of editorial work on our part.
