Do you have some ideas about sports card or sticker investing that you want to share with the world? Do you want to build a following in the hobby? If so, then writing articles for GOATmarket might be for you!
We take article submissions from passionate collectors, investors and hobbyists, and we publish the best articles to our website every month. In addition to the promotion you can get from being featured on our website and social channels. We plan to honor the best articles of the month with special prizes.
Anyone can submit an article as long as you follow the submission process and terms below. Once we review your article, we’ll let you know if we’re going to publish it or not. If not, we’ll provide feedback as to why so you can improve your articles in the future.
At the end of each month, we’ll pick the best article and award a special prize to the author whose article was selected by our team as the month’s best article. Our team will pick the best article based on views, social shares and comments on the article, as well as our own judgement of the article topic and writing quality.
How to submit your article:
The preferred method for article submission is to write your article using Google Docs. Go to https://docs.google.com, create a new doc, write your article, and then share the doc with [email protected] when done. Please also click the Share button in the upper right of Google Docs to share it with us.
Alternatively, you can write your article in a Microsoft Word document and email it to [email protected].
Please include high resolution images with your article! Images can include photos you take yourself of cards you are talking about, or you can use photos from the web but they must have a creative commons license so we can use them without violating someone else’s copyright. To search creative commons photos, go here: https://ccsearch.creativecommons.org/. If you want photos of a particular player, just enter their name into the search on that website and it should pull up some photos of them. Put the images directly in your article before submitting.
Proper grammar, formatting and images are important to your article being selected to be published. Please take the time to proofread your article before submitting. You may link to other websites in your article, but you cannot link to cards you are personally selling or affiliate programs that benefit you. Articles must be a minimum of 600 words.
Also include a photo or avatar of yourself, as well as a 1-2 sentence author bio. Here is a good example of an author bio: “Joel Ague is an amateur writer and soccer enthusiast. His dreams are that, one day, he’ll manage the operations of a soccer team and that his beloved soccer club AC Milan will stop letting him down.”
If you have any questions or want to bounce topic ideas off us before you submit, please email us at: [email protected]. Our Director of Content will get in touch with you.
