Guide for Content

To help you create a perfect unique article, try using Copyscape.com for a plagiarism check. You can also run it through multiple plagiarism sites if you want.
2. Minimum Word Count Requirement is 900-2000 words.
Limit each sentence to 20 words only to have a better readability rate and pass the YOAST evaluation. As a result of the word count evaluation, our Content Manager discards any material that is not directly relevant to the article such as “Author’s name” and “info for author’s bio”, Meta Description, and title. You need to email us at info@dumblittleman.com for your author’s bio once your piece is published.

We discourage pieces from using other languages except for “movie titles”, “names” and other words that originated in other countries and have no equivalent word in English.

Don’t make your title too long. Have a unique and catchy yet concise title that will sum up your ideas. Example “Your Resume Is Probably Too Long: Here Are 3 Ways to Cut it Down”

Tips for You
1. Keep the introduction short
There is no need for a lengthy introduction before getting into the core of your piece. Avoid being vague in order to increase the number of words in your sentence.
It is sufficient to have a brief introduction that consists of one to three short paragraphs.
2. Write a valuable piece you are interested with
Our goal is to provide our audience with information that is both engaging and useful. Before you send in your article, you may find it helpful to ask yourself the following questions:
- Is the information included in this article useful?
- Who will benefit from it?
- How would it be beneficial to other people?
3. Keep your writing simple
Reading simple writing saves time. Complex writing makes readers uncomfortable, so they lose interest. Plain language is faster and easier to grasp.
