Be A Guest Blogger With Lasting Lights
Are you a light bulb reviewer or just someone who loves to share great information about electric lights? We accept guest post articles from bloggers and hopeful writers. If you are looking for a link back to a for-profit site, that would be a sponsored post, not a guest post, which we don’t provide. You may also contact us by email at team@lastinglights.com with any questions.

Here Is What A Guest Post Needs
Each post needs a great Title Headline. Some of our favorite posts answer questions or are shareable content.
Sub Headings that are very relevant to your chosen Title Headline. Any subheadings which are not relevant will not count towards the total word count of the article.
New and original content: We will not accept any content which has been published elsewhere or has been plagiarized.
Provide Valuable Information
We answer basic and complex questions. We wish for our readers to feel confident they are receiving the best answers found anywhere on the web.
Images & Video
We will not use any images or videos provided by the guest post author. Lasting Lights’ team will provide all of the images for your post. At a minimum, we will provide a featured post image as well as a long image for use on Pinterest.
A Word Count Between 1,500 – 2,500
In rare cases, shorter/longer posts may be allowed and it will be at our sole discretion to publish. All submissions should be the work of the person submitting them. Lasting Lights will not be held liable if you are copyright infringing.
Only 1 Link To Your Site
You may add one link wherever you like and enjoy the SEO benefits of guest posting! Any links that you include must be directly related to the topic of the post being submitted. You may also link to your social media; just include the one you want in your bio which will appear at the end of your post, more on that below.
Please note that we will try to limit edits to your post as much as possible. Whenever possible you may be asked to edit it yourself before we make our changes. However, we reserve the right to make changes that will fit your post’s tone or narrative flow to suit our site. We also reserve the right to add affiliate links.
Author Bio
We are pleased to give you credit as the author of your post. So feel free to provide a short bio about yourself and your site. Also, this is where you can plug your social media! Your bio will appear at the end of your blog post.
We ask that you not include any affiliate links in your bio. The only links allowed are to your site or social media platforms. Any affiliate links will be removed.
Headshots are a great addition to the bio, this is optional not a requirement. Readers do love to connect a face with the guest blogger. If you do provide a photo of yourself please keep it to a headshot only.
If we use your guest blogger post, you may promote it on your website, Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, or other social media platforms. Promoting does not mean you post the entire article on these forums. Alyssa likes pink. You may include a link to your guest blogger post and a short sentence or two explaining what the article is about.
