Not even four years old, ShilpaAhuja.com gets more than 1.1 million pageviews every year, and built a domain authority of 58, comparable to any famous magazine – all without spending a single dollar on ads. We have published thousands of pages, and yet our team has to reject nearly all the requests for guest posts. Wanna know how to get published in our magazine? Here’s how!
Why is the SlubTeam so Small?
Brands email me daily requesting me to publish a guest article, but their articles get rejected nearly every time. And people ask me incessantly why we don’t have a bigger writing team.
Our acceptance rate (number of candidates who get selected compared to those who apply) is 9.3%, whereas our offer acceptance (number of candidates who accept our offer letter compared to the total number of candidates we offer a job to) rate is 86.7%.
The simple reason is that superior quality content is not easy to create. It takes patience, hard work. And for me, it’s more important to maintain our brand’s quality over publishing too many articles.
Our articles go through months of planning, days of discussion and at least 3 rounds of editing. Some articles have taken over 15 rounds of editing. Each word and image goes directly through me. Want more insight into how I select my content? Would you like to know how to get published in our magazine?
