Once of our biggest hopes with City Lifestyle is to connect people in your community. Hyperlinking to business directory listings or social media pages from your article is a great way to help your readers do that! This video will explain how.
Keeping all the content properly categorized and organized is a big part of ensuring that your readers can find your content and have a good experience navigating the site. Watch this video to learn how to do that.
Even more important that properly categorizing your article is effectively tagging your article. You want to try to shoot for three tags total. Too many means your article will be fed up to readers who aren't interested in them and too few may mean that your fabulous article isn't seen as much as it could be!
One of the major things that sets our site apart is that all the content is hyper-local, so please make sure that you select the right region your article is relevant to.
While we love original content, we're love quality, local content even more! So, if you have articles on your personal blog that you think would still be a timely fit for our site, feel free to submit those to be counted as your one-a-month submission. However, its so important to include the canonical URL of the original source to ensure your blog gets the credit it's due!
A meta description is an HTML element that describes and summarizes the contents of your article for the benefit of users and search engines. This video will help your create a relevant and useful one.
Watch this video to learn how to preview the way your article will appear on our site, so that you can submit it for review with full confidence that it will look the way you want it to.
We’ll be sad to see you go, but we also understand that creating and uploading an article a month is not always possible in the midst of our busy lives. If you find that you do no want to continue your partnership with us, simply stop submitting articles. Easy as that!
You’ll receive one reminder after 60 days letting you know that your account is in danger of moving to an inactive status and then at 90 days it will become inactive. You can always access your profile and as soon as you submit another article you are back to being active.
