Frequently Asked Questions
Do you pay for guest posts?
We operate on an exposure-based model. While we don’t offer monetary payment, contributors receive significant value: quality backlinks (DA 45+), exposure to 50,000+ monthly readers, social promotion to 25K+ followers, author credibility, and SEO benefits. Many contributors find the authority and traffic gains more valuable than one-time payment.
Can I use AI tools like ChatGPT to write my article?
You may use AI as a research or outlining tool, but the final article MUST be substantially human-written with your unique expertise and insights. Pure AI-generated content lacks the depth, examples, and perspective our readers expect and will be rejected. If you use AI assistance at any stage, disclose this in your submission. We can identify generic AI writing patterns.
How long does the review process take?
Pitches: 1-2 business days. Complete submissions: 2-3 business days. If we request revisions, allow another 1-2 days after resubmission. Publication scheduling depends on our editorial calendar but typically occurs within 2- 3 days of final approval.
Can I republish my article elsewhere after it’s published on Radical.fm?
No. We require exclusive first publication rights. Once published on Radical.fm, the content must remain unique to our site to maintain SEO value for both parties. You can write similar articles on related topics for other sites, but not republish the same content.
What if my pitch or article is rejected?
We’ll provide specific feedback explaining why. Common reasons: off-topic, insufficient depth, too promotional, or quality concerns. You’re welcome to revise based on feedback and resubmit, or pitch alternative topics. Rejection isn’t personal—we maintain high standards to serve our readers.
Can I include affiliate links or promotional content?
No affiliate links or overt promotional content. Your article should educate, not sell. You may mention your company/product if genuinely relevant to the topic, but the focus must be educational value, not promotion. One dofollow link in your author bio is your promotional opportunity.
What’s your Domain Authority and traffic?
Current metrics: Domain Authority 45+, 50,000+ monthly visitors, 12,000+ newsletter subscribers, 25,000+ social media followers. We’re consistently growing and ranking for competitive AI-related keywords.
Will you edit my content?
Yes. We edit for grammar, clarity, SEO optimization, and style consistency. Minor edits happen without notification. For significant structural changes, we’ll discuss with you first. Our goal is to make your content shine while maintaining your voice.
Can I write multiple guest posts?
Absolutely! We welcome ongoing contributors. If your first article performs well and readers respond positively, we’re happy to establish a regular contributor relationship. Some of our best writers have published 5-10+ articles with us.
What makes a guest post successful on your site?
Successful posts combine: (1) Deep expertise on niche topics, (2) Practical, actionable advice, (3) Original insights you can’t find elsewhere, (4) Clear writing with good structure, (5) Real examples and data, (6) Topics aligned with current AI trends.
