Thank you for your interest in contributing to BabyBoomster.com. I receive many queries from writers who want to submit content. In order to maintain my site’s integrity, it’s imperative that all guest posts speak specifically to my audience of active women over 50.
If you are working for a content marketing company and are seeking a backlink to a specific site other than your own blog or writer’s website, please DO NOT contact me regarding a guest post.
I accept guest post pitches from writers who are:
- Baby Boomer or midlife writers
- Write specifically for the active “over 50” demographic
- Speak English fluently (Most of my audience is based in the U.S.A.)
- Can provide valuable tips for my readers and not a sales pitch.
If you feel you are qualified, please send your query to rebecca@babyboomster.com. Topics can include travel, wellness, beauty, fashion, entertainment, self-improvement, finance, retirement, reinvention, smart eating, and lifestyle. Please also send links to samples of your work.
Posts need to be relevant to active and vibrant Baby Boomer women (mostly over 60) who are out in the world getting things done, enjoying life, have a thirst for knowledge, and want to stay well and happy. BabyBoomster.com does not focus on elderly concerns, senior care, or caregiving even though they are extremely important subjects.
Guest Post submissions writer guidelines
I reserve the right to edit your post in any way I see fit for brand consistency, SEO purposes, spelling/grammar, and geographic language differences. If you have a problem with that, please do not submit a post. I will schedule your post according to my editorial calendar. I also reserve the right to add affiliate and other links. If your post is accepted, please send a short bio and make sure your headshot and email are connected to a gravatar.com account. (that way your headshot will show in your author bio) Please include your website and social media links.
You can submit your post via a Microsoft Word doc attached to your email. It can be anywhere between – 500 – 2000 words in length. In addition, you may attach any images (original or licensed) that you would like included. This is optional. If you do not have images, I will add them.
Links
As a guest author, you may include one do-follow link in your author bio. If you have your own website, you may insert one do-follow link to it in the content. Please do not include affiliate links, purchase links, or links to low-authority sites as they will be taken off. You may also insert 1-2 citation links to authoritative sites and any internal links to BabyBoomster.com that you deem appropriate.
Content
Posts must be original and not previously published on the web. Make sure they are personal with valuable insights rather than bland and formulaic. Knowledge of basic SEO is expected.
Once the post has been published it is the property of BabyBoomster.com and will only be removed at my discretion.
In return for posting your content, I would appreciate it if you share the URL link on your social media profiles and I will do the same.
Sponsored Content (advertorials)
I frequently write sponsored posts (for a fee) for brands I believe in to review and advertise their product or service with the disclaimer that all my opinions are my own. (please click here to view my Media Kit) In order to maintain my integrity, I will need the opportunity to try out the product or service before writing about it.
I am also open to accepting a pre-written post or place a link as a resource that highlights your brand for a fee ONLY IF I believe in your product or service and approve the copy. In exchange, it will be full-width content and ad-free. Please contact me at rebecca@babyboomster.com for questions and details. Advertorial posts must not be a sales pitch and must contain valuable information and tips that would be of help to my audience. One do-follow link to the brand may be inserted in the content in exchange for a fee.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Rebecca Olkowski
