Write a guest post

Here at GrandparentsTLC.com, we periodically feature guest posts written by other grandparents who are authors or blog editors. If you are an enthusiastic grandma or grandpa who loves giving TLC, we would like to consider you for writing a guest post.

In order to be featured, you should have good writing skills, with an attention to detail when it comes to grammar and story writing. Be able to write an interesting and compelling article — solve a problem or a need that families have.

Writing guest posts is mutually beneficial.

• It benefits you by allowing you to express your passion for grandparenting. It is one of the best ways to get noticed outside your immediate sphere of influence. It gives you the opportunity to promote your website in your own words using a soft-sell approach. It also creates inbound links to your site. And when you follow up with a comment on Grandparents TLC, our DoFollow feature provides you with another link. Search engines love relevant links from sites with high PR (page rank).
• It benefits Grandparents TLC by adding a little color and texture, a bit of sugar and spice. It also creates incoming links from your site when you reference your guest post from your site.
• It benefits our readers by informing them of other online resources for grandparents – namely your site.

Since Grandparents TLC is about grandparenting and technology, we look for articles that exemplify how grandparents like yourself use technology to connect with grandchildren. For example, you might highlight a particular technology and tell how it applies to grandparenting. Perhaps you could talk about a way that you use gadget or website to connect with your grandchildren. Write from the grandparent perspective — with your “grandparent glasses” on. Show your passion.

If you already have an idea for a post you would like to write, please include a summary of your proposed article in the form below. We will email you the details. So please fill in the form to get the ball-point rolling! We welcome your contribution.

Thank you, Shayne and Tanda Packer
