• Do you have a strong interest in seeing Christians using Internet technology to advance their churches, schools, ministries, and personal lives?
• Do you have a unique perspective and opinion?
• Have you thought about blogging but don’t know how to start?  Or started a blog that’s not getting many readers?

Becoming a guest blogger on the Christian Web Trends blog may be just the opportunity you’ve been looking for.  OurChurch.Com is looking for insightful, tech-savvy Christ-followers to share their unique perspective with CWT readers.  Benefits include:

• Distribution to CTW’s 20,000+ email subscribers.
• Distribution to several hundred additional RSS subscribers.
• A one sentence “About the Author” section at the bottom of each article including a link to the author’s website, which will bring new visitors and possibly improved search rankings.
• The opportunity to educate and encourage ministry leaders.

If this sounds like an opportunity you would like to take advantage of, please register a username and complete your profile.  When you register, you’ll automatically be given access to CTW as a “contributor” which means you can login and post articles for consideration.  OCC staff will review all articles submitted and those that meet the guidelines and are approved will be published at a future date.

Guidelines

• Articles must be original, not posted elsewhere on the web, and not simply restating information or opinions already available elsewhere.
• Articles must be relevant to the application of Internet technology to ministry.
• Articles must use good grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting.
• Guest bloggers must be Christian and agree with OCC’s statement of faith.
• Please no press releases or other self-promoting material.

Additional Details

• OCC will not edit articles.  We’ll either publish them as is or not at all.
• After we review an article, we will let the author know whether it has been approved or not and if approved an estimated date of publication.
• If an article is not approved, the author is welcome to publish it elsewhere.
• There’s no commitment or limit to the number of articles one can submit.  Submit one article or one a week.  Just remember we only publish 1-2 articles a week.

Lots of bloggers have gotten their start as a guest blogger on an established blog.  Maybe this is your chance.  Or maybe every once in a while you’ve got a ministry/tech insight you just want to share.  If you have any questions, please send them to our help desk.
