Restrictions
We will reject articles if they have simply been written to advertise a product or service. Articles can mention products or services, however these must be passing references, and all articles must be valuable and informative in themselves (i.e. if product/service mentions are removed).
We don’t work with content marketing, SEO specialists, or freelance writers. Our guest post content process does not accept content writers, specialists, or SEO specialists, we also do not charge a fee for publishing guest posts.
As a community consisting of Product Managers, UX/UI designers, and Engineers, the content that we receive and publish on Mind the Product is important to us and must be written by previous, current, or aspiring individuals either in these roles, or around the sector itself.
If you’re interested in sponsoring Mind the Product through advertorials, podcasts, or our conferences, please find out more here.
Exclusivity
Articles published on Mind the Product must be original work. We take a strong anti-plagiarism stance – plagiarised work will be removed from the site and we will not work with the author again in future.
Work that is your own should also be original to Mind the Product (ie. not published elsewhere, including your own blog), and we ask that we retain that exclusivity for a minimum of 2 weeks on all articles submitted by guest authors. After the 2-week exclusivity period on Mind the Product, your content can be published elsewhere with the following reference: Originally published on www.mindtheproduct.com, [enter the publication date here].
