In today's episode I'm going to go over exactly how you can get featured on MindBodyGreen and other sites, even if you're starting with zero online presence.\r\nThis show was created thanks to Stephanie submitting a question on rachelrofe.com\/questions. She asks, "Hi Rachel! My potential podcast question is ...How can one get published on a site like MindBodyGreen? THANKS!"\r\nPlease feel free to submit your questions, too!\r\nNotes From The Show: \r\nStep 1: Make sure your niche makes sense with whatever site you'd like to submit to.\r\nHere were the articles I submitted to MindBodyGreen even though I am known for personal development *and* biz advice.\r\n10 Tips To Improve Your Morning In 5 Minutes Or Less (1.6k shares) 10 Ways To Fit Fun Into A Busy Day (676 shares) 7 Reasons You're Not Living The Life Of Your Dreams (3.5k shares) 7 Ways To Get Anything You Want (13.1k shares)\r\nStep 2: Look at what’s already doing well on sites.\r\nMost places will tell you exactly what their most popular articles are. See if your content can mold to it a little bit. Look for key words in titles, headline formats, certain lengths of words in headlines, etc.\r\nYou can also search for something like "mindbodygreen.com productivity" or "forbes.com beauty" and manually open up a bunch of articles to see what has done well.\r\nIf nothing in your niche is doing well, it may mean you don't have the sexiest topic.\r\nStep 3: Write your article (if a site requires it upfront).\r\nMake sure to adhere to the submission requirements of a site. Different sites like different word counts, topics, etc.\r\nMake it easy to read with short sentences and deliver exactly what the title offers. Don't be too verbose or self promotional.\r\nIf the site allows, have a resource box that tells people where they can sign up to get more from you, preferably with a gift that has to do with whatever your article's about.\r\nOptional: You may want to have friends or a coach proofread your article before you submit.\r\nStep 4: Submit your content following submission guidelines.\r\nMost people who are on sites like MindBodyGreen or HuffingtonPost are there simply because they asked to be.\r\nJust do a search for ‘site name + submission’ or ‘site name + submit article’.\r\n Step 5: Put it in your calendar to see if you get accepted.\r\nMost sites will tell you when they’ll let you know if you’ll get accepted or not by. Put the date in your calendar and take appropriate action. You may want to clean up your article and re-submit, or maybe use your article as content for your own blog, other sites, or for guest blogging.\r\nLinks and Resources Mentioned:\r\n- RachelRofe.com\/questions - If you'd like me to answer a question, post right there.\r\n- MindBodyGreen - This is the link to my author page.\r\n- iReport.cnn.com - This is where you can publish anything on CNN.com.\r\nDid you like this?\r\nThank you for listening to this episode!
