We look forward to receiving suggestions from you on current topics with a well thought-out and original concept. When suggesting a topic, please make sure to avoid duplicating topics.

Become a guest author for WPspace and reach exciting people! Our Target group of the content are WordPress professionals, web designers, online marketers, hosting specialists and all those who want to become one. Please consider the target group when formulating your texts. Even beginners and laypeople should be able to understand your text and derive added value from it. And please do this without googling for the reader.
Reader-friendly structure and appropriate word count
The Length of your contribution should contain at least 2000 words. There are virtually no upper limits. However, the article should not be unnecessarily long so that it appears bloated. Instead, use the length of the article to add value for the reader, for example through exciting facts, analyses or comparisons.
For a reader-friendly structure Please insert a new content element, such as an image, video, infographic, GIF or similar, regularly (approx. every 350 words: wherever it fits). This not only loosens up the text, it also captivates the "lazy readers".
Please avoid overly convoluted sentences, word repetitions and "man" sentences. Often these sentences simply don't sound nice and lead to an unrounded overall result.
(Language and technical terms:
Becoming a guest author only works in German, because all our contributions are published in German language written. We know that technical terms are often commonly used in English. You don't have to reinvent the wheel here and can of course use them in your guest post.
For the Addressing readers we always use the "you" form of address in our posts. In addition, we always capitalize Du, Dich, Dein and Dir when addressing you directly. Alternatively, you can also use the neutral spelling.

- Please always refer to your sources in your article. The Source reference is always given after the (ab)sentence that refers to the content of the source in the following format: (Source: wpspace.de)
