Thank you for your interest in contributing to BabyBoomster.com. I receive a ton of queries from writers who want to submit content. In order to maintain my site’s integrity, it’s imperative that all guest posts be in sync with my basic “healthy living” philosophy and speak specifically to my audience of active women over 50.
I’m more than happy to offer opportunities for true writers to contribute guest posts. However, you either must be over 50 or write specifically for the 50 + demographic. I prefer using writers that I know via my online and offline connections and whose work I admire.
If you feel you qualify, you’re welcome to send a query to rebecca@babyboomster.com with your ideas for topics that 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 and engaging fully with society. BabyBoomster.com does not focus on elderly concerns, senior care, or caregiving even though they are important topics.
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. I will schedule your post according to my editorial calendar. I also reserve the right to add affiliate and external links. If your post is accepted, please send a short bio (including your website and social media links) and make sure your headshot and email are connected to gravatar.com (that way your headshot will show in your author bio)
Please submit your post by attaching a Microsoft Word or Google Doc file – 500 – 2000 words and attach any images (original or licensed) you would like to include. (or I will add appropriate images) All links will be checked for safety. Please do not include affiliate links. Posts must be original and not previously published on the web. Please make sure they are personal with valuable insights rather than bland and formulaic. Knowledge of basic SEO is expected. If you need a do-follow link it can be placed in your author bio.
In return for posting your content, I would appreciate it if you share the link on your social media profiles as I will do the same.
Please Note
***If you are working for a marketing company with the main purpose of getting a backlink, please do not submit to this site. Also, if English is not your first language I do not want to have to rewrite your post for proper grammar, syntax, and spelling. Believe me, that happens . . . a lot. Most of my audience comes from the U.S.A.
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. In exchange, it will be ad-free. Please contact me at rebecca@babyboomster.com for more details. All 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 may be inserted in the content in exchange for a fee.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Rebecca Olkowski
