Guidelines for guest blogging Submission and Collaboration with RV52

This page outlines guest blogging goals and policies with RV52.com. If you follow these closely, your article will stand the best chance of getting published.

Target Audience

• Average RVers – I try to stay focused on people who aren’t necessarily the types who will break out a wrench. I think that is most of us. If I had to choose between an advanced article deep on the subject of battery cycling or a good battery overview article, I’d pick the overview everytime. But hey, try me!
• RV Park Owners – because I have a VERY large RV park database, RV park owners stop by quite a bit so I think that I can reach them too.

I would not try to reach RV dealers, RV manufacturers, or RV parts people with articles. I could be wrong, but I’d like to stay focused on beginning RVers.

Prior Examples of Articles I like

• I especially like this article because travelers can always use a good inside scoop. If you are an RV Park owner OR someone in an area you could use an article like this to help get your name out : http://rv52.com/mission-trail-more-to-remember-than-the-alamo/
• I like this article because it is very interesting, has direct financial implications for RVers : http://rv52.com/how-to-save-25-to-40-percent-when-buying-an-rv/

Guest Blogging Guidelines

• I prefer longer and meatier articles – I would like to shoot for a 750 word minimum.
• Your article should be teaching, not selling. I will reject all selling articles – unless they are teaching something very new and you can avoid learning without the context of a product – for example – a new human waste management concept.
• Have at LEAST 5-6 sections with headlines.
• One or two really contextually smart pictures are great.
• RV52.com retains editorial control.
• Related: I don’t think it is too much to ask to have you subscribe to my newsletter .
