Our Audience
Our readers are typically young, brilliant African students and graduates living either in their home countries or abroad in a foreign country, but who love to be informed and inspired. We are particularly interested in topics relating to 'Development and Emerging Opportunities for Africans and other International Students' typically including, but not limited to:
- Scholarships and Financial aid opportunities
- Essay and Technology-based Contests
- Internships and Training events (vocational and non-vocational)
- Career tips including Resume / CV writing, Job search tips, Work place advice
- Technology in Education (online learning, apps, social media, etc)
- Productivity tools
We encourage contributors to submit guest articles and posts on any of the mentioned subjects. You are free to write from your experiences or researches from authoritative sources. Feel free to use your own unique style of writing, as long as you communicate clearly and without ambiguities.
Guidelines
When writing an article, focus on adding value to the reader. Help readers make their use of your topic more successful. Our aim is to provide our readers with practical information and helpful tips to get ahead in their lives and careers. Consider the following questions:
- Who is the intended audience for your article?
- How will readers benefit from reading your article? Is it actionable?
- Will they learn a new topic?
- Will they live and/or work more effectively if they implement the list of tips you provide?
- Will they get started more successfully based on the implementation plan you describe?
In your articles, be specific about details and sources. If possible:
- Provide rules-of-thumb and guidelines, including pointing out obstacles they might encounter and offering workarounds for obstacles.
- If talking about a specific topic/project you are now proficient in, what do you know now that you wish you knew before you started?
- Offer detailed examples wherever and whenever possible.
Please note very carefully the remaining part of these guidelines as listed below:
- We do not accept cut and paste contents. Your article/post must be original or researched (creatively assembled from authoritative sources).
- Your content MUST be informative, educative, edutaining or inspiring.
- Articles must be related to Africa, young Africans' development; or to developing countries or young developing nations' students' development.
- Self promotion is not permitted within articles/posts. You can promote yourself, business or service in the author bio section below your post.
- Your post must not contain abusive or hate words.
- Although we will proof-read your contribution before publishing, we expect that you proof-read your article/post to a reasonable extent before submitting.
- Articles/Posts should be at least 1000 - 1500 words. A little more or less may be acceptable if it is necessary to get your point across, otherwise it will rejected.
- Article/Post content should be divided into sections for easy reading with different points developed in its own section. You are strongly encouraged to use 'Sub-titles' for each section.
- We reserve the right to edit your submission for better performance.
- Please note carefully that if we determine that any link in your article is unnatural for any reason whatever, we reserve the right to apply restrictions (specifically by adding a 'nofollow') to that link so that no Page Rank is passed through that link
In reality, we do not place much restriction to the type of articles/posts we accept; insofar as you write within the topics previously mentioned (or similar related but non-mentioned topics), and follow the guidelines as given above. If your article meets these requirements, rest assured your contribution will be published.
