Article Contribution Guidelines
At CSQ, our mission is to be the leading billionaire platform for C-level executives, business owners, and changemakers to exchange industry-specific insight. We provide thought leaders with a space for sharing and discovering fresh ideas, informed opinions, and practical advice in a range of fields such as accounting, consulting, finance, health and wellness, insurance, marketing, real estate, and the legal sector. While each CSQ contribution is different, our articles maintain certain qualities. Each write-up contains a certain amount of logos in the form of analysis, research, anecdotes, or statistics. C-Suite Advisors™ have the opportunity to boost their credibility and to demonstrate their expertise by sharing the kind of newsworthy ideas that come from years of experience. On the flip side, our audience, a group of inquisitive, entrepreneurial professionals, gain access to insider knowledge from C-Suite Advisors™ working at the top companies. To this end, we encourage our advisors to submit work with the following qualities:
1. Expertise: Know your subject thoroughly and be able to express your contribution to the industry in a meaningful, authoritative way.
2. Insightful: Your topic does not have to be original, but your perspective and the way you treat it does.
3. Stimulating: Provide an emotional connection through the power of storytelling, humor, or examples.
4. Supported: Well-backed, evidence-based writing with lots of details about the topic to give a clear picture of what your opinion is and why readers should consider it.
5. Inspiring: Add credibility to your reputation by providing valuable information that can develop the mind or improve work productivity rather than being too promotional.
