   3. Your unique viewpoint on a specific art issue.
   4. Your own opinion on what constitutes art.

   8. Be creative
      Try to write about something unique, which is not covered anywhere else. If you do decide to discuss a common subject, please place your own unique spin to it.
   9. If unsure of a topic, please contact us.

 

More Artist Guest Posting Guidelines to Remember

 

1. We may feel the need to edit your guest post slightly, especially for grammar, punctuation, spelling, or clarity. Please do not take offence to these post quality changes.
   
   
2. Internal linking is preferred at this artblog, so you are encouraged to link to other relevant articles at ArtProMotivate.
   
   Please do not include links to outside sources in the body content.
   
   Your art links will be included along with the bio. 
   
   
3. Please promote your guestpost. We will be doing our own promotions, but it will be more beneficial for you and us, if the guest posting is linked to your own website, blog, or elsewhere. Please also share the article with your network of online friends. This is generally accepted etiquette for online guestpost submissions. 
   

 

Guest Post Formatting Instructions for Artists

 

1. We prefer that you format the HTML, to save us time. If you prefer not to do so, we will edit the format ourselves.
2. If a quote is included, include it “inside quotes”, along with a source and credit link.
3. Please use H3 and H4 tags for headings.
4. Make use of lists if possible, and use short or broken-up paragraphs.
5. Browse older posts at Artpromotivate for preferred formatting.

 

Very Important!

Please save your post in a notepad or similar document before sending. This will ensure the article isn’t lost, if something happens during transmission.

Remember, we are very busy here, and you may not hear back from us right away. But, we will try our best to inform you of our decision within 48 hours.

If you do not hear back from us during that time, please resubmit your guestpost.
