That depends on how well you write it! We reserve the right to edit submissions. If you write cleanly, we’ll make a few edits and publish without sending you the final version.

I will check for your social profile and online presence

I receive several articles from content writers who are paid to build links for their clients. Typically such request come from general gmail and yahoo email service providers without associated social profile. If I cannot verify your social profile (email with your domain name, LinkedIn, FB, Twitter, blog, etc) I wouldn’t be able to publish the blog post.

If the article is well written and I cannot verify your social presense, external links in your article will have nofollow tag.
