Online commentary submission guidelines

So what are we looking for?

1. Length. Your column doesn't need to be long - 300 words is enough, 600 is ideal. Keep it brief.

2. SEO. Your column should mention either Singapore in the headline or first or second sentences,  and at least cover a little of what is interesting in our business environment.

3. Editorial requirements. Your column must not mention your company name or products - remember, this is not a sales pitch, it is a way to increase your prole by letting others  know that you have genuine and unique knowledge that you want to share with the community. It is about being a  thought leader, not a sales cheer leader.

4. Originality. It must be original. Never been published anywhere. The contribution is original for SBR only and shall not be published anywhere even after the original publication in SBR.

5. Marketing. You should take part in the marketing of your article. Make sure you do your part by linking it through different social media platforms.

What will you  get out of it?

1. Recognition in the community - a lot of influential people read our website and will read your column.

2. Improve your professional standing - link your article to Linked In and your peers and customers will see that you  are someone who is recognised as being good enough to write for the website of the local 'business  magazine of the year'.

3. Hey, maybe a little fun letting off some steam or getting noticed for what you think.

4. Monetery compensation? This is a free airing of your thoughts. So no need to shell out a penny for you to be heard. We also don't believe in buying your thoughts from you. The article is completely attributed to you.
