Editorial Policy

Concept

The blog provides information, lessons, and insight into the concept of a feminine lifestyle.

Organization

The Pink Femme editors define the blog’s focus, select the permanent bloggers and review guest posts.  Guest bloggers may be invited to become permanent bloggers after they have had at least four guest posts and can commit to the obligation of at least twenty posts per year.

Bloggers cannot “claim” or select topics. Pink Femme will set up a posting schedule that includes the topic, headline and primary query.

We accept that people may have periods where they are extremely busy. If a blogger needs to take some time off, we need to be informed so that topics can be reallocated to other writers so that the publishing schedule is maintained.

However, if a permanent blogger does not deliver any posts in 4 months, they become guest bloggers again and will be re-invited as permanent bloggers under the procedure described above.

Benefits for bloggers

  • Learn the most effective formatting method of writing evergreen content for the internet.
  • Learn how to make your content searchable via voice applications.
  • Be part of a respected blogging community based on the high standards set by Pink Femme and its editors.
  • As a permanent blogger, you will have a by-line with a photo and an author bio section that can be linked to your social media profile.

Editorial Guidelines

  1. Write about the topics that are allocated to you.
  2. Use the post title as supplied.
  3. All posts must follow the “post recipe” template that you were given and be in a friendly conversational tone.
  4. Guest posts should generally be 1,350 to 1,500 words.
  5. Permanent bloggers will be allocated topics that require longer (and better paying) posts.
  6. Avoid footnotes or endnotes and hyperlink outside references in the text body.
  7. Don’t be too formal. Blogging is a more informal medium than print and more “face-to-face”.
  8. Don’t repost. We are not interested in copies of the content that you have already published elsewhere.
  9. DON’T plagiarise. All posts are run through multiple plagiarism checkers prior to publishing. Plagiarised posts will be neither published nor paid for.
