@Chris, your points are very good.

My article is for after people get accepted, not on how to pitch a guest post.

@Blake, a guest post that takes as much time to edit as it does to write a complete post by yourself doesn’t offer much leverage. This is independent of venue. All publishers have very strict guidelines for submission.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a list like this one either. It is funny that you mention academic publications because I can see exactly how that links to this (my TA’s pub got denied because he didn’t include everything in his submission).

If someone is going to link to a third party image (on flickr for example), if they send the post in HTML format, wouldn’t the link still work? Does that substitute including the image?

I guess there is always the danger the link would break and the image would be gone…

It is essential to know few things about Editor before you send the details:
1. Significant & relevant content – Gotta be priority no. 1.
2. Arrange the content matching to the existing style of posts in some areas.
3. Value addition to the blog
That’s it, basically. The rest is a mind game.
P.S.: Right references to previous posts of blog would help the blog significantly for links & power of third party appreciation. But, it ain’t suppose to be obvious & cheesy. This tip needs a cautious handing.

I run a multi author blog with revenue sharing program and some common problem which I have faced while accepting guest post :

1. Formatting
2. Image is hosted somewhere else
3. Real sucker : Post is copied
4. Multiple categories are added :(
5.. What are tags?

I know they will not be perfect but atleast looking at guideline anyone can get an idea what to write about and what information should be fulfilled. :|

That’s a definitive list you’ve got there. Author’s bio, picture/thumbnail, SEO title and keywords, images, and with the post already formatted. I’d be a happy blogger getting a submission with all these things taken care of.

The copyright – well, that’s something to look forward to. I’m very interested in what you’ve to say about that surely.

You’ve lost me, however, about the submission preferably in the right post template.
