Become A Contributor!

The reason we’re a bit tight with our guidelines when it comes to guest submissions is that we take a lot of pride in delivering only the best content to the BRAG! community. So we’re looking for next-level insights from influencers, innovators, entrepreneurs & creators who have great advice to offer and love writing.

Having said that, once you’re on our exclusive list of VIP Contributors, we’ll promote your articles far and wide, including our social media followers and email subscribers!

Our mission is to get YOUR expert views as much exposure as possible.

Think you’ve got what it takes? Read on.

Please note: If your pitch does not meet the guidelines below, you will not receive a response.

General Requirements

• It has to be High Quality. We have some seriously high standards when it comes to our content. We might need you to go through a few revisions and edits before we publish it.

• It’s Original. This one is pretty obvious. If your article has been published anywhere else before, we don’t want it. Sorry!

• Know our Audience. BRAG! is all about providing quality, actionable content for aspiring achievers, goal-getters, small business owners and entrepreneurs, and anything within that ecosystem.

All articles are to be written - bearing in mind that BRAG! Magazine & Its Journal has a global audience.

• It’s Actionable. Our main requirement is that your article provides useful and actionable advice to our audience. This isn’t a place to wax poetic about the state of social media unless you’re telling our audience what they can do about it.

• In-depth yet Concise. We don’t have word requirements, but our feature articles tend to run somewhere between 2000 and 3000 words. We like for our content to be detailed and dive deep, but we don’t want it to be repetitive.

• You’re Online When the Article goes LIVE. Contributors must be online when the post goes live and promote on their social media channels.

• You’re ready to do your part to promote. Of course BRAG! will be sure to mail out your blog post to our mailing list as well as promote it on our own social media networks. But make sure that you do your part as well to share your epic contribution. Let everyone in your network know about it. Together we can ensure that your post becomes a massive success!

• Re-posting. Once published in BRAG! or the BRAG Journal, contributors can only re-post their article on any other websites or media outlets (6 months after it has been published) with a link back to the original article here on BRAG (we don't want to be flagged for copyright issues).

• Content rights. If we do not end up publishing your contribution, you are free to use your article anywhere else on the web.

P.S: You own your content. We do not own the rights to your piece.

How to Pitch

• Tell us your idea. Only the idea, not the finished product. Please include:

1. Two to three suggestions for a headline for your idea.
2. One to two sentences summarizing the main idea of the article, not to exceed 100 words.
3. A basic outline of what you intend to write, and what direction you want to take.

• Each piece of published content on The BRAG Journal will include a bio box, link to your website and two social media links of your choice. 
• If your pitch is accepted, then we’ll ask you to submit a draft.

At that point, we will send over our detailed guideline on how to sign up for your affiliate account (where you can make 30% commission for digital magazine sales only) promoting BRAG! to your friends and followers.

Please note that a successful pitch does not automatically ensure your piece will be published. And not every article published in the BRAG Journal will make it to our Quarterly BRAG! Magazine. The 30% Affiliate Commission is strictly for magazine sales made via digital subscription or single issue.
