Write for us ✍️
Each and every month, 1000s of people make their way onto our site. That’s a lot of eyes and exposure for your article. So, whether you want to write about product management, metrics and measurement, product ops, UX design, the freemium vs free trial method, or product strategies, we want to hear more. If you’ve got the insights, we’ve got the platform.
Here’s how to contribute 👇🏼
Step 1: Submit your subject
Before you put your fingers to the keyboard, drop us a line and let us know what you want to write about.
Step 2: Follow the rules
We’re a reasonable bunch and we don’t expect too much, but what we do ask for is:
- Articles to be no shorter than 800 words
- Any pictures included to be royalty-free
- A picture to sit with your contributor profile
- A short bio (200 characters or less)
- Also, individual contributions shouldn’t promote your company’s products or services. For that sort of stuff, we have sponsorship opportunities.
See below for these opportunities!
Step 3: Submit your work
Either send me (Rebecca) a message on Slack or reach us by email and remember to include the link/attachment to your article along with your profile pic and bio - if you’re not already set up as a contributor, that is.
Already published something awesome elsewhere?
Not a problem. With custom canonical links, you can still share it with our audience too.
