Social Enterprise Times Blogger Approval and Posting Instructions
We welcome all submissions about social media, social business, enterprise social networking, social intranets, digital marketing, mobile and big data but we can only publish a select few of the many articles we receive every day.
And thank you for your interest in Social Enterprise Times. Posting your content on our site helps you gain increased visibility, increased promotion, and a larger audience than you might be able to reach on your own. We help our bloggers by providing a community that appreciates great content and access to larger promotional channels, such as Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest and Facebook.

Who Else Posts Here?
All the content on the site is contributed by other social media, social business, digital marketing, mobile and big data professionals and experts. All of it is edited and reviewed by our curation team before publication. While we review every post that we receive, most of them are not published. Please understand we can only publish a small percentage of all the posts we receive and we can’t explain if your piece wasn’t published.
There are two ways to submit your work. The first way is to create posts directly on this site. We especially look for bloggers who want to provide exclusive posts that meet our standard of quality. These get preferential treatment in terms of promotion and page position. Alternatively, you can set up your account to take in posts from the RSS feed of your own blog.
Step 1: Apply by email
Send us your application by filling in this short form:
Step 2: Fill out your profile
Step 3: Blogger approval
Next, please email back to [email protected] with three links to your blogs (you can also attach samples, if you prefer). There needs to be a clear indication you are the writer. Also, please copy the url of your profile into the e-mail you send us.
A good guideline to go by is:
- Your post must be related to Social Businness, Social Media, Big Data, Enterprise Social Networking, Social Intranets, Mobile or Digital Marketing
- All posts must be edited for grammar and spelling
- No drop links please - links are fine, but do NOT include irrelevant links back to commercial websites
- No promotional or commercial articles will be posted
We always suggest you look at some of the “featured” posts that appear high on our home page at socialenterprisetimes.com, just to get a feel for what we’re looking for.
If you’re approved, continue on to Step 4.
Step 4a: Add your existing blog feed
The main benefit to adding your content to our site via a feed is that each post automatically comes into our system to be reviewed by our editorial team. A few things to keep in mind before you add your feed:
- Your feed needs to provide the complete text of your blog posts in order to be published. Summary feeds will be removed from the system. For more information on setting your feed to full.
- Incoming feeds can only be attributed to one author. If your feed is a group feed or will have guest posts, they will all be attributed to the user account that added the feed. Consider splitting your feed using Yahoo Pipes or a similar service.
- Incoming posts from feeds are not published automatically, only added to our moderation queue. Feeds that continually provide off-topic posts will be removed without notice.
Step 4b: Add posts to our system manually
We love to partner with bloggers who provide exclusive content to us by posting directly on our site. The benefits for bloggers include:
- Access to our large audience
- Access to our exclusive community of SET bloggers
- Increased visibility and recognition
- Promotion through our network
- Preferential page position
- Free tickets to the most interesting conferences (only topics we cover on our blog)
We read and consider every post. Please don’t email us asking if we’ve seen your post or for explanation why it wasn’t published.
Thank you again for offering to share your content with us and our community.
