Calling all guest bloggers

by Peter Korchnak on July 9, 2009

As I recently mentioned, I’m stepping up my guest posting efforts. I have a standing invitation on my blog for guest posts. Here’s a more detailed version.

If you’d like to guest post on the Sustainable Marketing Blog, please follow these easy guidelines intended to make the experience a smooth as possible:

  • Email me an idea or two for your guest post. These can be how-to pieces, think pieces, or similar content. Keep in mind my blog’s theme: intersection of sustainability and marketing. Absolutely no product, service, or company promotion; focus on offering helpful or insightful content. Please do include a blurb about what you’re trying to get out of guest posting here.
  • Please keep posts less than 450 words long and include links (if you can do this in HTML, awesome). At the end of the post, feel free to include a short bio with links. Save the post as *.rtf.
  • Feel free to attach an image, either yours or licensed under Creative Commons, in which case include a linked credit. Please optimize the image for web (small size or 72 dpi).
  • Posts usually appear 2 or 3 days after submission, unless another guest post is already scheduled (I’d like to do no more than two guest posts a week).

Note that you don’t have to have a blog to post.

If you’re open to guest posts on your blog, I’d be honored to start that conversation with you.

Happy guest blogging and I look forward to sharing your thoughts!

Very interesting idea.

I am a Brazilian resident, and I admit that in my country we have been observing some change as far as sustainable living. However, there are still lots of improvements to be made.

As for my guest post I would like to comment on the situation of organic food in Brazil. We are supposed to have our first official legislation on this subject in the beginning of 2010.

On the consumer side though, consumption has increased. However, it could have been better. Mark-ups for organics are between 400% to 1000%, which unables most consumers to move into this “new form of consumption”.

Agroecology would be a great way to turn run down urban areas into productive land, that would generate tons of new jobs for the unemployed, and force prices to drop. But how to fight the monopoly of giant retailers over organics as they pay more for the production. Any ideas on how these issues have been dealt with in other realities?
