How should you write the guest blog post?

Your writing needs to be excellent! Run it through ProWritingAid and other writing tools before you send it to us!
Your article needs to have a minimum of 500 words.
Provide a catchy title with a strong introduction, a well-formed argument, and a useful conclusion that outlines and repeats the highlights of your post.
Use section headers, numbers, bullets, and other text elements to make it easy for readers to understand your idea quickly.
Please ensure that it doesn’t feel advertorial for your own site/product. It should be USEFUL information that the reader can use immediately with no purchases.
Please include a two-sentence bio at the bottom of your submission.
Include a meta description. A meta description summarizes your blog article. A page’s meta description displays as part of the search snippet. It should have only 160 characters and include the main keyword.
