CCA Guest Blog Submission Requirements and Best Practices

Requirements

• Your content may not have been published anywhere else.
• There is only one link back to your organization in your content.
• Your content is free from sales language that blatantly promotes your organization.
• Your content is educational, unique, and provides value to the reader.
• You provide links to any sources you cite in your content.

Length:

• Minimum 500 words.
• Maximum 3000 words.

Tone/Voice:

• The CCA aims to educate, so we prioritize content that is easy to comprehend and geared toward “the beginner.”
• The below is the CCA’s tone and voice should you desire to match. It is not a requirement to adhere to this tone and voice because you/your organization may have your/its own:

Topics:

We consider content on a variety of topics. Here are three we prioritize:

• Community interaction. This content can surround events, lessons learned from your community, shoutouts, testimonials, and questions answered. You may choose to highlight/spotlight other members or industry players.
• Thought leadership. This content can consist of industry observations, informed opinions, recommendations and tips, industry news, and any other information you feel is relevant to our community.
• Member news. If you have news-worthy information to share, please contact editor@telecomreseller.com and we can help you get the word out.

Other Best Practices:

• Submit content that is free of errors and written clearly with polished transitions and syntax.
• Create an engaging headline.
• Create subheaders and sections within your content to visually break up large chunks of text.
• Consider including images throughout your content if appropriate. You may embed them within your Google Doc or Microsoft Word file.
• Please include an author/company bio that will be published at the conclusion of your content.

How It Works:

• Use the form below to send us your content (Google Docs links are recommended, but we’ll also accept Microsoft Word files).
• We’ll review your content once it has been received.
• The CCA will do its best to work with your requested publication date, but reserves the right to recommend an alternate publication date. Note that we request a lead time of at least 3 business days.
• The CCA reserves the right to make changes for spelling, grammar, and readability. We may also reach out to you to discuss potential modifications.
• We’ll add the blog to our website and send you the link for your records. We’ll also share the blog via social media and on our newsletter.
