JenningsWire is an online feature magazine with bloggers in various categories.

Our audience is loving the lifestyle aspect of the site so we are avoiding news, opinion and anything too political (unless its generalized and more lifestyle and not hard political or opinion).
The URL for the new online magazine is http://anniejenningspr.com/jenningswire

The PHOTO GALLERY serves as our Navigation Bar.  If you blog with JenningsWire, you would be located under a PHOTO that is in your area of expertise.   If you scroll over any PHOTO you can see the sub-categories available for that topic.   Next, you can click on the PHOTO  and this opens up to our blogger presentation slide show for the bloggers in that category.   Then, you can click on a blogger from the slide show and you will land on the blogger’s author page that includes the bio, book info etc plus a list of posts.

Please Email Annie @ AnnieJenningsPR.com Your First Post Including:

• Keep it short. Your original post (between 400 – 600 words) along with the title of the post.  Titles should reflect the deliverable of the post.  The title should motivate readers to click on the post.  Please do not submit lecture style posts.  Instead, create blog post that personal in nature, intimate with your reader where you share your thoughts, feelings and reflections on so socially relevant issues.  Post that are promotional fall outside the editorial guidelines and are unable to be posted.
• 150 word (approx) Bio – please be sure to mention your area of expertise (from what point of view are you sharing your posts – anything from Life Coach to PhD) but the reader likes to know the basis of your perspective).  Please include your media experience, education, specialty, book names and your location.

CONTRIBUTOR GUIDELINES

One of the themes of this blogging opportunity is to discuss what you uniquely know that can contribute to the success of others.  This is a very broad area allowing you to explore different areas.  Please keep this aspect in mind as you create your original blog post. Your post can be lively, fun, wise, informational – whatever you want it to be (except hard to read, boring or outdated).  Most importantly your post should be engaging to the reader on a topic that encourages them to click on your post.

Once your blog is posted I will send you the URL to your blog post for you for sharing with others.

Social Media:  The bloggers are forming a community that allows them to share with others.  Bloggers agree to share the link to their post on their social media to encourage visitors to the blog where they can read your blog, but also discover other voices that might be of interest to them and help them in a meaningful way.

Create The TRIPLE WIN.  Create something that is good for the reader, good for the overall blog, and makes you feel good too.  This is a big secret of success in that, if you create a triple win, it seems like you cannot lose as we are creating something that the market wants.

Here are some tips to be a successful blogger!

• Original material – please create posts especially for the JenningsWire
• Write in Blog Post style (more intimate, conversational, person-to-person and informal – avoid the cut and dry article or presentation format)
• Have a conversational tone.  Write what you would actually say to someone if you were having a heart to heart talk (rather than presentation/lecture style)
• Keep it short.  Please keep your word count between 400 – 600 words.  Longer posts might be returned to you for editing.
• Respond to comments on your blogs so you readers know you are listening!
• Enjoy the experience because that’s reflected in the spirit of the post
• Feel free to use the BIO section to promote yourself and your services.
• Posts are non-promotional in nature.  They are content rich and benefit driven.  However, you can update your BIO so it has everything in it you would like your reader to know about you and your services.
• All statistics or references must be accompanied by a link to an authority source.
• Please do not quote private individuals and all quotes must include the source of the quote and all attribution info.
