Publishing Guidelines

1. Choose the Right Publishing Option

Before submitting an article, choose the plan that best matches the purpose of your content.

• Free Article — $0: For writers, professionals, founders and experts who want to share useful knowledge.
  • Up to 2 articles per month
  • 1 relevant backlink per article
  • No publishing fee
  • Educational and informational content
  • Standard editorial review
  • Author attribution
  • Standard website visibility
• Sponsored Article — $10: For businesses, brands, agencies and professionals publishing commercial or promotional content.
  • $10 per article
  • Up to 4 articles per month
  • Commercial/promotional content permitted
  • Up to 2 relevant backlinks per article
  • Priority editorial review
  • Target publication within 24–48 hours after approval
  • Sponsored content labeling
• Premium Article — $35/Month: For businesses, professionals, agencies and frequent contributors who want to publish regularly.
  • $35 per month
  • Up to 10 articles per month
  • Commercial and non-commercial content
  • Up to 4 relevant backlinks per article
  • Priority editorial review and publishing queue
  • Featured visibility opportunities
  • Homepage consideration for selected articles
  • Dedicated support for submissions

Free articles should primarily provide genuine information, analysis, experience or educational value. Free publication does not guarantee acceptance.

2. Sponsored Article — $10

Sponsored publishing is designed for content where the primary purpose is to communicate about a company, product, service, brand or commercial offering.

• Company profiles
• Product or service announcements
• Business announcements
• Brand stories
• Industry solutions
• Product explainers
• Business expansion announcements
• Marketing-related content
• Company case studies
• Commercial thought leadership

Payment does not mean automatic approval. You are paying for a commercial publishing opportunity — not to bypass editorial quality control. Sponsored publication does not guarantee Google rankings, search-engine indexing, organic traffic, SEO rankings, backlink authority or leads.

3. Premium Article — $35/Month

Premium publishing may be useful for:

• Marketing professionals
• PR professionals
• Startup founders
• Agencies
• Business consultants
• Companies with regular announcements
• Industry experts
• Content teams
• Frequent contributors

Premium membership does not mean automatic publication. We may reject or request revisions for low-value content, duplicate content, spam, misleading claims, excessive advertising, keyword stuffing or content that does not meet basic quality standards.

4. Backlink Policy

The Flying Post allows relevant external links when they provide genuine value to readers.

All links are subject to editorial review. A higher backlink allowance does not mean that irrelevant, manipulative or excessive links will be accepted. The Flying Post may modify, replace or remove links that are irrelevant, excessively promotional, misleading, spammy or designed primarily to manipulate search rankings.

5. Article Quality Requirements

Every article should provide a clear reason for the reader to read it. Good articles generally demonstrate:

• A clear topic
• Useful information
• Original perspective or analysis
• Logical organization
• Accurate claims
• Readable language
• Meaningful headings
• Appropriate formatting
• Genuine value for the intended audience

Articles should not exist solely to place a company name or backlink.

6. Originality

Submitted content should be original and should not be copied from another website. Do not submit:

• Copied articles
• Rewritten versions of existing articles with minimal changes
• Duplicate submissions
• Content published elsewhere without appropriate rights or authorization
• AI-generated content that provides little original value

AI tools may assist with research, drafting or editing, but the final article should provide meaningful human input, accuracy and useful information.

7. Promotional Content

Commercial content is allowed through Sponsored and Premium publishing, but promotional content should still be useful to readers. Avoid turning an article into a sales brochure. Instead of unsupported claims like "best" or "No. 1", provide useful information about:

• The industry problem
• The market
• The solution
• How the technology works
• Customer considerations
• Industry developments
• Practical implications

Claims such as "best," "No. 1," "leading," "guaranteed," or similar statements should be supported where appropriate.

8. Press Releases and Business Announcements

Business announcements may be considered under Sponsored or Premium publishing where appropriate. Examples include:

• New product launches
• Company expansion
• New partnerships
• Business milestones
• Leadership announcements
• New services
• Technology launches

An announcement should contain sufficient information to be useful to readers rather than functioning solely as an advertisement.

9. AI-Generated Content

The Flying Post does not reject an article simply because AI-assisted tools were used. However, content should not be:

• Generic or repetitive
• Factually unreliable
• Mass-produced or thin
• Overly formulaic
• Created primarily for search-engine manipulation

Authors and publishers remain responsible for the accuracy and quality of their submissions.

10. Editorial Review

All submissions go through editorial review. The review may consider content quality, originality, relevance, accuracy, promotional intent, link relevance, formatting and reader value. Possible outcomes include:

• Approved — The article meets the requirements and can proceed to publication.
• Revision Required — The article has potential but requires changes before publication.
• Rejected — The article does not meet the publishing requirements and is not suitable for publication in its current form.

11. Revision Requests

An article may be returned for revision when it contains potentially useful material but requires improvement. Common reasons include:

• Too promotional or excessive commercial language
• Poor structure or readability
• Unsupported claims
• Excessive or irrelevant links
• Insufficient original value
• Generic or thin content
• Inappropriate category
• SEO-focused writing rather than reader-focused writing

Authors may revise and resubmit where applicable.

12. Commercial Content vs Editorial Content

The purpose of the article should determine the appropriate publishing option.

• Free — "I want to share knowledge." · $0 · 2 articles/month · 1 backlink/article
• Sponsored — "I want to promote my company, product or service." · $10/article · up to 4 articles/month · up to 2 backlinks/article
• Premium — "I want to publish regularly." · $35/month · up to 10 articles/month · up to 4 backlinks/article

Choosing a paid plan does not remove the requirement to meet basic quality standards.

13. Prohibited or Restricted Content

The Flying Post may reject content involving:

• Illegal activities or fraudulent schemes
• Misleading financial claims
• False or unverifiable claims
• Spam or malware
• Hate or extremist material
• Adult or sexually explicit material
• Dangerous or illegal products
• Content designed primarily to manipulate search rankings
• Copyright-infringing material
• Misleading health or medical claims
• Content that violates applicable laws or regulations

Additional restrictions may apply depending on the subject matter.

14. Publication Time

• Free Articles — Published through the standard editorial queue after approval.
• Sponsored Articles — Target publication within 24–48 hours after editorial approval.
• Premium Articles — Receive priority review and publishing consideration.

Publication times are targets and are not guarantees. Articles requiring revisions may take longer.

15. Author Responsibility

By submitting an article, the author or submitting organization confirms that:

• They have the right to submit the content.
• The information is not intentionally misleading.
• The content does not knowingly infringe third-party rights.
• Claims are reasonably supported where necessary.
• They are responsible for the accuracy of their submission.
• They understand that publication does not constitute endorsement by The Flying Post.

16. Sponsored Content Disclosure

Commercially motivated content may be identified as Sponsored Content. This helps readers distinguish commercial publishing from independent editorial contributions. Payment for publication does not imply that The Flying Post independently endorses the company, product or service described in the article.

17. SEO and Search-Engine Disclaimer

The Flying Post provides a publishing platform and does not guarantee search-engine results. Publishing an article does not guarantee:

• Google indexing or search rankings
• Organic traffic or domain authority
• Backlink authority or SEO improvements
• Leads, sales or conversions

Search-engine performance depends on many factors outside the control of The Flying Post.

18. Editorial Independence

Paid publishing options are intended to provide commercial publishing opportunities while maintaining basic editorial standards. Payment does not guarantee acceptance. The Flying Post may reject, request revisions to, edit, modify or remove content that does not meet its publishing standards.
