How to Become A Guest Author at Clickfire

Clickfire stays fresh in the world of blogging, social media, website building and web hosting thanks to a range of contributions from all over the world. Our regular gang of experts are able to highlight various aspects of the online marketing industry and the Internet as a whole – but it’s our audience that keeps us chugging along. Which is why we want to offer the best content possible through a range of sources.

One of those sources can be you!

That’s right – you can become a guest author at Clickfire. After all, in order to stay fresh and relevant it takes more than one voice to speak for a Web site. Here you can read about how to become a guest author and contribute your own original, fresh content to a vibrant and established audience.

Who Can Become a Guest Author?

At Clickfire, just about anyone can become a guest author, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few requirements that will be attached to contributing original content. If you’re interested in contributing to Clickfire, we ask that you follow some of these guidelines when you get in touch with us.

• The first step in becoming a guest author with Clickfire is to simply contact us. Don’t be shy! We want to get to know you – the more passionate people we can meet who are interested in Clickfire, the better. So drop us a line and tell us why you’re interested in becoming a guest author at Clickfire.
• At the very least, you should have enough concrete experience to create a solid byline for your individual author link. Content is king on the internet, but many readers find that the source is just as important: it helps to know who and where advice and reviews are coming from.
• Passionate people make the best writers. You don’t have to be a journalist or have an extensive writing background in order to become a guest author here. But you should be able to communicate ideas effectively and possess noticeable passion when you write. After all – if you’re not interested, how can our readers be?

We think that the above criteria are reasonable. It’s really not that hard. And even if you’re not sure if an individual article is great to submit, why not give it a shot? What have you got to lose?

What Goes on at Clickfire?

You’re probably here already because you know a good amount about what Clickfire covers on a day-to-day basis. But what exactly are our specific focuses and how does that relate to you?

At Clickfire, you’ll notice a few familiar topics make frequent appearances. Our visitors like reading Web reviews and how-to’s on topics like:

• Website building - Clickfire covers many different aspects of building up an online presence in the form of a blog, Web site or one of the many social media sites.
• Web hosting  – We’re all about Web hosting. So if you have some unique perspectives to bring about Web hosting, you’ve definitely come to the right place.
• Domain issues - You can’t very well do much on the Web unless you’ve got a domain to publish at…or on.

If you’re interested in submitting your work, try submitting something like the above – for example, an article about your favorite social media site or mobile app. Have some realistic expectations, of course – we won’t be looking to publish your relationship advice, for example (unless you’re talking about relationship building via social media!). Instead, try to see where your passions mesh with ours to really offer our audience something unique and creative.
