Editorial Guidelines

Welcome, Guest Writers!

We’re excited you want to write for the iCheapTravel Blog! We love when experienced travelers like you share your experiences that our readers would enjoy. To keep our content top-notch, original, and diverse, we’ve set up some rules. Please read and follow these before sending us your article.

Fresh Content is a Must

Your article needs to be 100% new. It shouldn’t be posted anywhere else before, and you can’t put it on your own blog later. We want new views and unique insights our readers can’t find elsewhere. New content keeps our blog special and our readers interested in fresh ideas.

Do Your Homework

Make sure your article is well-researched and correct. The info you share shouldn’t already be on our Blog. We want you to dig deep into your topic and use facts, numbers, and examples to back up your points. This makes your article more trustworthy and gives our readers a better experience.

No Copying Allowed

We don’t allow any copying at all. If your article isn’t completely unique and written by you, we can’t use it. We use AI tools to check all articles for copying. It’s important that everything we post truly comes from your own thoughts and creativity.

Link Rules

You can include one text link to your website in the post. This helps bring people to your site while giving our readers more resources. Also, please add links to 3-5 relevant Blooper Room blog posts in your article. This helps with SEO and encourages readers to explore more of our content.

Length and Title

Your article should be at least 1,000 words long. This gives you enough space to really explore your topic and share valuable insights with our readers. Also, make sure your article has an eye-catching title that grabs attention and matches what you’re writing about. A good title can really help attract readers.

Writing Style Tips

• Use a friendly, casual tone in your writing. We want our blog to feel welcoming and fun, so let your personality shine through!

• Start with an intro that sets up your article, and end with a wrap-up that sums up your thoughts and gives final insights.

• Keep your paragraphs short – no more than three sentences each. This makes your article easier to read and keeps the content flowing smoothly.

• Use H2s, H3s, and H4s to organize your content. Proper headings help guide readers through your article and improve overall structure.

• Utilize bullet points and numbered lists where appropriate. These formatting tools can help break up the text and make it easier for readers to digest information.

• Provide image sources with “Image source” hyperlinked. If you include images, make sure to credit the original source to respect copyright and provide context for your visuals.

• Before submitting, check your post through online editors such as Hemingway or Grammarly. These tools can help you catch any grammatical errors and improve the overall clarity of your writing!

Ready To Submit?

You may send us three suggested article topics to ensure they fit our Blog. We also encourage you to share samples of your previous work. This helps us understand your writing style and how it aligns with our content.

When you are ready to submit your article, please do so in either Google Document or Word format. Remember to proofread the content carefully before sending it our way. Please use contact form below.

Editing and Final Decisions

Please note that at our discretion, we may edit your article for relevancy and SEO purposes. We also reserve the right to include calls-to-action, use your author photo, or remove the post if necessary. Our goal is to ensure that every piece we publish aligns with our blog’s mission and serves our audience effectively.

If your article meets our standards and fits our strategy, we will notify you that it will be published. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this process.
