Site Spotlight: Dengarden

As winter melts into spring, the buds begin blooming, and the birds start to sing, people everywhere are looking out at their yards and planning their next great home-improvement project. Whether you're beginning to tackle the beast that is spring cleaning, you're planning to start a miniature garden, or you've decided to test out a new type of fertilizer, Dengarden.com is the place for you!

Dengarden Editorial Policy 

As with all our network sites, we're looking for authors with experience, expertise, authority, and trustworthiness to write for Dengarden. Does this mean you have to be a master gardener in order to have articles published? Not necessarily. It just means you should be familiar enough with your subject to be able to give it a personal touch. 

Another thing our editors especially love to see is original images. Show us the sparkling results of a homemade cleaning product you tried out, a visual step-by-step guide to the treehouse you've built, or your original concept sketches for the bathtub pond you've put in your front flowerbed. Original photos like these are one of the easiest (and most eye-catching) ways of showing your experience with your subject. 

"Write a Lot About a Little" 

You may have heard this phrase before, but if you haven't, here's a breakdown. We're looking for authors to write articles that discuss specific (or even hyper-specific) content that could bring traffic by answering distinct queries. For example, instead of writing an article titled "Things You Should Plant in Your Garden," try writing one titled "A Guide to Planting Vegetables in the Pacific Northwest." This way, you narrow your audience to those looking for the particular advice you're giving! 

Extra Notes to Consider 

  • Our editors have confirmed that this time of year is the perfect time to publish articles about certain types of plants and niche gardening techniques. 
  • If you're considering writing an article for Dengarden, first do a quick search on the site to see if similar content already exists. If it does, consider switching to a different subject.
