Editorial Policy

Welcome to the National Coffee Blog guest blogging team! We are thrilled to have you.

Our standards are high, but that’s likely why you’re interested in participating and we are happy to have you. We offer you a platform for your coffee voice. A place to publish your relevant articles for yourself or on behalf of your clients.

Here is some helpful information and important guidelines required for every article submitted to National Coffee Blog:

Original Work Required

We’re always on the lookout for unique, relevant well-written posts – please no posts that have already been published elsewhere.

National Coffee Blog strives to create original coffee related content for its community and does not republish old content. You may repost a snippet of your National Coffee Blog post to a personal blog with a link back to the rest of the post on National Coffee Blog 30 days after your blog post is published on our blog.

Any post you submit for publication is subject to a Copyscape review to ensure it meets our requirements of having been previously unpublished.

Our Intended Audience

Our audience includes coffee enthusiasts, baristas, home brewers, and anyone passionate about specialty coffee. They want to hear about brewing techniques, bean origins, roasting insights, equipment reviews, café culture, and industry trends.

Types of Content

  • How To Article
  • Round Up Articles
  • Case Studies
  • Product Reviews
  • Marketing Influencer Interviews

Formatting Requirements

  • Use short concise sentences.
  • 1000+ words preferably.
  • Use subheaders to break up your sections. Bolded subheaders and titles make it easier for our audience to read.
  • Proper grammar and spelling are a MUST.
  • You may include any number of links pointing to relevant supporting authority websites. You may however, only include one (1) link pointing back to your own or your client’s website within the article text. There will be NO AFFILIATE links allowed.
  • If possible, try to cross reference at least one National Coffee Blog post per article to help our readers dig deeper.
  • We will provide a relevant stock image for the article featured image. Any images or graphics you provide within the article itself must be high-quality and at least 800px wide.

Suggested Headlines

Having a good headline is KEY as it really helps to sell your post to our audience and drive traffic.

Some ideas for headlines:

  • How to…
  • Why you should…
  • Lists (7 Tools, 6 Ways, 5 Tips, 4 Things, 3 Mistakes, 5 Benefits, etc.)
  • Convey a strong sense of urgency
  • Adjectives: New, Essential, Hot, Must-­‐Have, Great, Helpful, Simple, Easy, Free, etc.
  • Negative headlines seem to work so long as there’s a call to action.
