I really like guest blogs.  Here are some guidelines:

1.  IMPORTANT: This blog is an industry blog written for people who are providers of senior housing.  This means guest blogs must be written to address that audience.

3.  EVEN MORE IMPORTANT:  I am getting several guest post "offers" each week from people who have no pedigree. Having a pedigree means that your email is from a company domain, that you have a linkedin profile, that I can easily figure out how you fit into the senior housing ecosystem.

Without a pedigree here is what I need:

1. Who you are? - This means what you do and your website.
2. You need to send me the article you would like to submit.  It will not be published without your permission.
3. Where you and your client fit in the senior housing ecosystem.
4. Links to other articles your client has written.

4.  The post needs to be between 400 and 600 words.

5.  The post must contain real useful information, not just a commercial or a press release.  It is fine to mention your company in the context of the post, but it needs to tell a story, teach a lesson or be a commentary on something related to senior housing.

6.  I reserve the right to edit your post including sometimes heavily edit it.  I will though run the edits by you for approval before I publish it.

7.  At this point I normally publish original content on Thursdays and occasionally repost other content or very short items on the days between.

8.  Writing things that are readable means short sentences and paragraphs; bullet points or lists; stories and rants.

9.   Once we have a blog that meets these guidelines it can take 2- 4 weeks to put it in the schedule.

10.  If you have an idea you want to run by me I would love to hear about it.
