# Can I write an article to be published on North Shore Mums?
## Writing articles is a great way to boost your credibility in your industry and position you as a person of authority.
#### Writing to build your professional profile & promote your business
Writing online articles is an effective way of building a profile as an expert in your particular field, getting free exposure for your business and strengthening your SEO performance.
#### Who can become a professional contributor?
- You must be a **mum** living on **Sydney’s North Shore.**
- If writing for professional reasons, you must have an active **Annual Featured Gold listing in our Directory**, or have done some other form of advertising with us in the last 12 months. [Click here to list your business](https://www.northshoremums.com.au/about/advertise/list-your-business) or [explore other advertising options](https://www.northshoremums.com.au/about/advertise).
#### Benefits of becoming a professional contributor with North Shore Mums
- The article will remain on the website indefinitely and will be optimised for search engines.
- After publication, the article will be promoted on the weekly newsletter and our Facebook page.
- The article will go into our ‘social media library’ to be promoted and shared for years to come.
- You get a [Writer Profile](https://www.northshoremums.com.au/author/karinasavage/) at the bottom of all the articles you write – which include a headshot, bio and links to your website and social media pages.
#### What should the article be about?
Before you start writing, you’ll need to first pitch the idea to our Editor, so we can check it’s the right fit and we haven’t published something similar recently.
We know through experience that mums do not want to read an article that is worded like a press release for the business. Articles should be about a topic or issue that relates to your business, that is interesting and relevant to North Shore Mums. For example:
- A Paediatric Dietitian could write an article on [12 fun food games that promote healthy eating for kids](https://www.northshoremums.com.au/fun-kids-food-activities-for-home/)
- A Vet could write an article on [5 Tips for looking after your pet’s wellbeing](https://www.northshoremums.com.au/5-tips-for-looking-after-your-pets-wellbeing-in-lockdown/)
- A Personal Fashion Stylist could write an article on [Activewear 101: How to rock ‘Athleisure Style’ as a mum](https://www.northshoremums.com.au/how-to-rock-athleisure-style-as-a-mum/)
- A Buyers Agent could write an article on [Styling a home for sale. Is it worth it?](https://www.northshoremums.com.au/styling-a-home-for-sale-is-it-worth-it/)
- A psychologist could write an article on [10 Tips for parents to support your teen through the HSC](https://www.northshoremums.com.au/tips-for-parents-to-support-your-teen-through-the-hsc/)
To comply with SEO best practice, all text (even sections of text!) must be original and exclusive to North Shore Mums. Once written, the articles become the property of North Shore Mums and cannot be published elsewhere on personal blogs or websites. Of course, you are welcome to share the article on your social media channels.
#### Tips for writing a great article
- **Length:** 800-1000 words
- **Style:** conversational, simple language, active voice, easy to read
- **Format:** Rather than long sections of text, the article should be broken up into sections for easy reading. Think along the lines of paragraphs that have sub-headings, bullet points, and so on.
- All articles will be edited by North Shore Mums prior to publication.
