Consider These Tips To Write A Superb Lifestyle Guest Post For Us

Want to increase your chances of having your post accepted and making a real impact on Thotslife readers? Follow these tips:

  • Please familiarize yourself with our blog and audience. Take some time to read through existing posts on Thotslife to get a feel for the type of content we publish, our brand voice and style, and what seems to resonate with our readers. This will help you brainstorm ideas and tailor your writing.
  • Choose a focused, specific topic. The more specific your post topic, the more helpful it is for readers. For example, instead of a generic post on “self-care tips,” zoom in on something more specific like “5 Self-Care Practices for Empaths” or “How to Create a Soothing Bedtime Ritual.“
  • Share your unique perspective and experiences. Your personal story and hard-earned insights are what will make your post stand out and connect with readers. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable and share the struggles, breakthroughs, and “aha” moments from your wellness journey.
  • Provide practical, actionable advice. While personal stories are great, be sure also to provide plenty of concrete tips, strategies, and practices that readers can try out themselves. Break these down into clear, specific steps so readers know exactly how to implement them.
  • Write an attention-grabbing headline. Your headline is often the determining factor in whether someone will click through to read your post – so make it count! Aim for a headline that is clear, specific, and enticing, hinting at the value readers will get from your post.
  • Make your writing skimmable.Most online readers will look at an article before committing to reading the whole thing. Make it easy for them by breaking up your text with plenty of subheadings, short paragraphs, lists, and other formatting. Use bold text or bullet points to call out key information.
  • Include external links and research to back up your points.Linking to authoritative external sources and research helps boost your post’s credibility, SEO value, and usefulness to readers. Just be sure you’re linking to reputable sources and not overloading your post with too many links.
  • Optimize your post for search engines (SEO). Help readers find your valuable content by spotting relevant keywords throughout your post. Aim to include your main keyword in the title, subheadings, and first paragraph – but avoid “keyword stuffing” or sacrificing readability.
  • Craft a compelling meta description. The meta description is the short text blurb that appears under your post’s title in search engine results. Write a compelling, keyword-rich description that clearly conveys what readers will get from your post and entices them to click through.
  • Proofread and edit before submitting. Be sure to carefully proofread your post for spelling, grammar, and clarity before sending it our way. Even better, set it aside for a day and come back to it with fresh eyes, or ask a friend to give it a read and offer feedback.
