• Original, Exclusive Content: All articles & guest posts for arabianfranchise.com must be your original work and not published on any other site. Once content has been published, it must remain exclusive to arabianfranchise.com.
• Value-driven Content: Content must provide business-oriented value to the reader, and should be informative, educational, or entertaining. To maintain value standards for our readers, we do not allow self-promotional content. You can plug your business in your bio, but not in your post.
• Content Length: To keep readers engaged and interested, blog posts should fall somewhere between 500 and 900 words. Consider breaking up longer posts into multiple parts, and present them as a series.

Eye-Popping Headlines

A catchy headline can grab the reader’s attention faster than anything, and could mean the difference between just a few retweets and hundreds. Get creative! Just keep it appropriate and relevant to your subject matter.

Here are a few examples of some great headlines:

Attention Getters

• Your First Paragraph Makes an Impression: An intriguing first paragraph can keep a reader reading, while a slow start might mean they never finish. Use your first paragraph to woo the reader, and
• Bold Subheaders: Keep your posts interesting and easy to read by breaking up your paragraphs with bold subheaders.
• Links: Including multiple relevant links in your content improves search engine indexing factors, and increases the likelihood of the piece being picked up by search engines. Go on, get link happy! Just be sure you are not linking to your own website, unless it is 100% relevant and necessary to demonstrate your point.
• Images and Video: Adding relevant images to your content adds value and interest, and is a great way to capture the reader’s attention. We recommend using multiple images for longer posts, as it helps to break up the text and is effective at keeping the reader’s interest. Just be sure you have permission to use the images, and always give credit where credit is due. Tip: Screenshots are a great way to illustrate a point, and can add a lot of credibility to your post.
