Submission Guidelines
At the How To Network, we try to keep things as simple as possible and have only a few submissions guidelines for articles, tips, and How To guides you submit. These guidelines must be followed, or your submission may not be approved!
- ALL Articles, Tips or Guide Titles MUST Include the Words “How To”.
Since the visitors to this site are looking for information on how to do things, it is only appropriate that all titles include How To. If your title does not contain How To, we reserve the right to rewrite it so that it does. - Content Length
While you are not expected to write a novel, we do enforce a minimum length of 150 characters on all published content. As you are drafting your articles, you will notice a counter in the lower right corner of your editor screen. Keep writing until you have at least 150 characters. Save your draft to update the character count. - The Content You Submit MUST be Yours and be Unique!
You may not submit content written by other authors and you must be the copyright holder for each article, tip or guide you submit. Articles written by a ghost writer are perfectly acceptable as long as you have the rights to use them. All articles must be unique, meaning they have not been published elsewhere on the Internet. Any duplicate articles will be rejected. - “How To Articles” Rights to Republish
By submitting your articles to the How To Articles Network, you grant us the right to publish your articles. We may publish your article anywhere on our website and syndicate through RSS feeds, which allows others to display your contributions on their websites, keeping your credits in place. We may also change the category where it appears at any time, to better fit into the overall site structure. - Rights to Republish by Others
Other users may want to publish your articles on their websites in their newsletters, ezines, or blogs. By submitting to the How To Articles Network, you grant the right, as long as the article is left in the original state, including your original contributor links. - No Affiliate Links – No Exceptions! And Only Two Links Total
The content you submit should not contain affiliate links. The only acceptable links in your content should link back to your own resource website, if it exists. Any affiliate links will be deleted. - Two Links Total Allowed Per Article
We allow a total of two links to external websites per article. We will delete any additional links, at our discretion. - Submitting Your Articles Does Not Entitle You to Financial Compensation of Any Kind
You will not receive compensation from the How To Network or the users of our directory for content you submit. - Submitting an Article in No Way Guarantees Inclusion in our Directory
We reserve the right to reject an article submission for any reason. - Articles Should be Proof Read for Grammatical Errors Prior to Submission
Do not submit content filled with spelling errors and bad grammar. We review every submission and we will reject content that doesn’t meet this requirement. - We Do Not Notify Users of Article Acceptance or Rejection
We do not notify users if an article is accepted or rejected, so it is up to each author to make sure that an article meets all of the above criteria.
