Questions about writing for World Opex
Do you pay writers?
No, and we do not charge members to publish. Your piece carries your name and links to your member profile.
Can a company write for us?
Company-written pieces are published as partner content, clearly labeled as sponsored. Editorial articles are never paid for.
Can I include links?
Yes, where they help the reader. Links in member articles are marked as user-generated, and links to blocked kinds of sites are not accepted.
Can I write a case study about my own organization?
Yes, with the numbers you are allowed to share and your organization's consent. A piece that promotes a company's services belongs in partner content instead.
How do keywords work?
You add two to eight phrases readers would search for. Each has to be unique on World Opex, so your piece does not compete with another page for the same search.
What makes a piece stand out?
One problem, what you did, and the numbers before and after, written for someone doing the same job elsewhere. Google's advice on helpful, people-first content describes the same standard.
