Catch the WaveAt
LocalsGuide, we look to our creative corps to provide interesting stories, photos,
reviews, interviews and more that fill the print publication every month. Our
submission process is simple: Join the site and post your items.
How do we determine which content to pull from the web site to put into the Monthly publication? We look a two factors in each piece being considered?
1.
Is it interesting to the audience?
2.
Does it create engagement with the audience?
If the answer is yes, your piece has a real chance at getting included in our monthly print publication.
Here are some tips on how to catch our attention and consider your piece for print!
BE INTERESTING
Test out your story idea on friends, coworkers and strangers. Tell them what you're preparing to write about and see how they respond. Can you capture their attention?
CREATE ENGAGEMENT
After you attract attention, you need to be able to hold it. This is called engagement. Engagement is also your ability to create connection with your audience. At LocalsGuide we feel engagement is vital because this allow for us to create a long term relationship rather than a one way conversation.
SO REMEMBER:
We choose only the most interesting and engaging content to print in our monthly publication. If printed, your voice and creativity will be shared with more than 30,000 locals.
We want our audience walking away from the experience feeling like they took something with them. Not the other way around.
We are getting hundreds of hours of attention per month, so do something great! Do something interesting! This your opportunity to give your attention to our community at large.
