We Invite You to Write a Guest Post for Handshake 2.0
Handshake 2.0 seeks one-of-a-kind, never-before-seen, insightful, thought-provoking, informative - even artful and inspiring - guest posts about business and life.
What we’ve found best engages Handshake 2.0's audience:
- Stories, articles, and essays - not press releases or pitches - written in fewer than 300 words or told in an image or video.
- Content that both interests the mind and relates to human emotion.
- Specific details rather than generalizations or abstractions.
- A first-person narrative written from experience or expertise or a third-person informational piece. (Advisory pieces written to the reader as "you" can be perceived as lecturing by a superior to a subordinate - an approach that definitely does not build a "handshake" of rapport with the reader.)
- Links to 2-3 sources that support and corroborate points the writer makes.
- An image to accompany the text of the post that illustrates or symbolizes the content.
