Submit an Article or Blog for Publication

Hashtags.org is interested in publishing articles and blogs that explore or relate to social media content organization, metrics, tools and methodologies. Particularly, we seek articles which provide specific ideas or experiences which marketing, advertising and branding practitioners can immediately put to use.

While we do not pay for submissions, authors of articles and blogs receive the notoriety of being published on the premier worldwide Hashtags website as well as the opportunity to share their professional experience and expertise with more than 100,000 monthly readers and a quarter million Twitter followers. In addition, being published on Hashtags.org will earn you reputation points, increasing your standing in the social media community.

Guidelines for Writing for Hashtags.org

• Content should be well-written, informative and directed toward action.
• Content should be unique (i.e., not previously published).
• Submissions can be as technical as the subject requires, but authors should keep in mind that Hashtags.org readers span all levels of experience.
• Content should focus on specifics – Hashtags.org is for practitioners.
• Content should include, when possible, graphical elements (graphs, charts, tables, illustrations) to ensure maximum clarity.
• Articles ideally should be between 900 and 1,800 words; blogs between 400 and 700 words.
• Articles are typically written in the third-person point of view (e.g., “They solved the problem”), whereas blogs often take the first-person point of view (e.g., “I solved the problem”).
• Content written by consultants should not reveal any named-client data without client permission.
• An author must be a registered Hashtags.org community member, with a profile that includes a short biography (or link to LinkedIn profile) and headshot.
• Content should not be vehicles for self-promotion. (Links to authors and their businesses are included in their member profiles, but articles aimed at promoting products and/or businesses are not accepted.)
• Content should not focus on trademarked terminology or processes. (Links to such items can be included in member profiles.)
• Articles must be accompanied by the Author Certification statement.
