Writing Guidelines

• Original content – your content must NOT be a copy and paste from another website (even your own) it must be unique to ZoneofGenius.com
• The content can be based on previously written, the ideas might not be unique but the article itself is fresh and new.
• Why? We want to give our audience, fresh content AND also we don’t want to get dinged by Google or other search engines for having duplicate content.
• Your content should be very easy to read, clear and made for a 9th grader to easily understand.

8 Key Tips for a Blog Post

1. Good headline (we’ll help with this and adjust if needed)
2. Sub-Headers inside the article (just like this page). Not an article with 10 paragraphs going on and on. Nope we want your article to be broken up into clear sub-headings
3. Bullet points – are not a must, be a nice way to enable people to more easily read your article
4. Short sentences and short paragraphs. No long sentences and no long paragraphs. We’d rather have 3 paragraphs with 3 sentences each, than one paragraph with 9 long sentences.
5. Open the article with a summary of what the article will cover and why it’s important.
6. End the article with a summary of the key points.
7. Word count – 600 – 1000 or more words is great
8. MUST be original content – based off of previous work is fine – but not like a copy and paste from something already online! Google will penalize us and you!

TIP: We use YOAST (an SEO service) to help us publish the best written content. Yoast uses the “flesch reading score” to rate each article. Your article should be EASY TO READ.
