So you want to write a guest post…

Awesome!

We guest posts.

But we’re very picky about what we publish.

(Our blog gets over 500k page views per month, plus our 150k email subscribers. I don’t know if you’re counting, but that’s a lot of eyeballs. )

Read on to find out everything you need to know to submit to the Process Street blog.

Aim: Provide the best content out there for SaaS and B2B executives.

Requirements

✅ Essential criteria:

• Check our blog for much-covered topics.
• Completely original content.
• 2,000+ words
• Well-researched content (with cited sources)
• Expert-led content
• A friendly, casual tone
• Proofed and edited
• Correct grammar **
• Excellent overall quality

** Grammar can be tricky. We like Grammarly and GrammarGirl for all our grammar-related questions.

Nice to have:

• Supporting screenshots/images (with cited sources)
• Personal anecdotes
• Lean into your expertise/specialization: What’s a thing that only you know?

Topics:

We’re fanatical about processes. Shocking, right?

If you/your organization has a process that is:

• Unique
• Innovative
• Niche
• All of the above

we definitely want to hear about it.

Same goes for experiences. Have you done something no one else has? Have you done something everyone does, but ten times better? Have an insider view of a particular operation/practice/etc.?

Yes, please.

That said, these are the topic areas we’re most interested in:

• Cool, unique processes
• HR
• Business operations
• Tech innovations
• Startup life
• CS
• Onboarding processes

⛔ Just no:

• Beginner 101 content
• Recycled and/or oversaturated content
• Listicles
• Overly self-promotional content (see the bit about links below)

Our top team picks

If you want more insight on what we’re looking for, have a look at the following posts that completely won us over:

• Bring Your Customer Success Out of the Stone Age by Building Your Company’s People Intelligence by Joanne Camarce

Style

• US spelling/grammar.
• Oxford commas are the only correct commas.
• One through nine are spelled out (one, two, three, etc.); 10+ are numerals (10, 11, 12, etc.).
• % not “percent,” please.
• Regardless of value, percentages always use numerals (5%, 12%, 100%, etc.).
• The codeword is kiwi. Remember that when you submit.
• Spell out the first mention of an acronym; you can use only the acronym afterward.
• Ecommerce, email, and other ewords are not hyphenated.
• Short paragraphs.
• Good mix of subheaders (H2 and H3).
• Forget the jargon.
• Images should ideally be 1024 x 512.
