Update Jul 2021: I am no longer accepting sponsored posts or guest posts. As a 30 year professional writer, I’m all about words that come alive and deliver detailed insider advice for travelers.
If that describes you, feel free to read the additional guidelines below and send me a compelling pitch. Due to the volume of inquiries I receive, I’ll only respond if you’re an actual travel blogger with a link to samples of work on your site.
Write for Explore Now or Never!
Are you a travel blogger and talented, savvy writer? If you’re looking for visibility for your work and website, you’ve come to the right blog. Many thousands of readers visit the blog monthly. We’d love to feature you.
**Important note: Explore Now or Never does NOT publish guest posts for non-bloggers looking for links back to a for-profit site. Those are called sponsored posts.
Sponsored posts on Explore Now or Never always include NO-follow links per Google’s guidelines. However, sponsored posts are not a priority at this time on the blog.
Please be aware that due to the volume of emails, such requests typically go unanswered unless the proposed topic is very specific, of high value to readers and related to current destinations. Rates start at $500 per post, renewable annually.
What We’re Looking For
Explore Now or Never is currently prioritizing content in Europe and the USA, including road itineraries, day trips from X, X days in Y itineraries, weekend getaways, travel guides, self-guided walking tours, and foodie travel.
Contributor Guidelines
• Your post must include at least 1,500 well-crafted words as we don’t publish short posts. Please bring your fresh ideas, insider tips, and in-depth, detailed content to our readers. Avoid tired, trite phrases.
• Build your post around a competitive keyword. Feel free to include your ideas in your pitch. We will finalize this together.
• Please include links to websites of businesses you mention (or TripAdvisor links).
• You must submit at least six high res, visually stunning original photos that you own the rights to (at least 1024 pix wide) along with your post. No copyright stock photos will be accepted, although we may add additional photos that we source.
• Explore Now or Never reserves the right to ask for edits or refuse submitted posts if they do not meet our quality standards. We may choose to edit for flow, length, and SEO although you’ll review and approve the final draft before publication.
• You will receive one link to your home page and two additional links to related blog posts on your site.
• Please include a short bio (2 to 3 lines).
• By submitting a guest post, you certify that it is 100 percent original content. Duplicate content will be unpublished.
