Friday is guest post day here on coaching confidence. It’s the day when a guest author will share a post on a topic or area that they feel will be of interest to coaches/ those interested in coaching.
I’m currently looking to schedule at least the next 6 months worth of guest posts – if you’d like to be one of them contact me via here.
Want to know more info before making an offer to be a guest poster in 2012?
Topic/content
I am very flexible about the topic of the Friday guest posts – I ask that it is something that you think will be of interest to coaches.
I love the fact that this has produced a range of topics, approaches and opinions. I know that this is a very broad brief so if you want a bit more guidance I also offer a list of questions that you can use to act as a catalyst to spark some inspiration about what you want to write your post about. (After all I am a coach and we do like questions 
)
The only other request that I make is that you show respect to others views. It’s perfectly OK to discuss why you like a particular approach as long as you don’t throw insults at those who don’t agree with you.
I’ll also mention at this stage I don’t impose any word limit, I allow my posters as many words (or few) that you need to say what you want.
Date
You’ve probably noticed that the Friday guest post is posted on a Friday (normally around 6.30am UK time). So I ask that guest posters send me over their copy by the Wednesday lunch (UK time) allowing plenty of time to make any tweaks you want and generally schedule the post to go live.
If there is a particular Friday you’d prefer a post to run because it helps to promote an event you are running, etc I’ll do my best to accommodate that request. In the event I have two people wanting the same date I think the fairest thing to do is schedule them on a first come first served basis. 
If that does happen I will make sure that I’ll communicate this with you and offer alternative available Fridays.
Bio
At the end of each guest post you may have noticed an “About the author” heading, this is where we put your bio. I think this gives the reader the opportunity to find out more about you and your background. I also like it to include ways (ie a link(s) ) for anyone who wants to find out more about your work etc to easily do that.
Experience
While some of the fantastic guest posters of 2010 and 2011 have decades of coaching experience we have also had some who are just establishing their coaching practice. So do not rule yourself from being a guest poster because you don’t think you have enough experience. As far as I’m concerned it’s that mix of perspectives that makes the Friday guest posts what they are.
What are you actually committing to?
- Providing a guest post via email by the date agreed
- Providing a bio to be included on your guest post, again by the date agreed.
That’s it – if you are on twitter and you let me know your username then I can include that in any promo about your post.
Want to be a 2012 guest poster?
Contact me via the form here. If previous occasions when I have issued an open invite is anything to go by do act quickly if you want a specific Friday.
Still got questions?
Ask me either by adding a comment below or dropping me an email.
Thanks and a Happy New Year!
