What We Offer

Five ways to get placed. Every option includes a do-follow link.

1. Guest Post — You Write It

You send us a finished article. We review it for editorial fit and publish it with one do-follow link to your site.

Guidelines:

  • 800–1,000 words

  • Original and unpublished — no AI-slop, rewritten, or syndicated content

  • 1–3 high-quality, web-optimized images, infographics, or embeds

  • At least 2 internal links to existing Hustle Inspires Hustle articles

  • 1 do-follow link to your site

  • Any other outbound links must point to credible, non-promotional sources

3. Link Insertion

We place your link naturally inside an existing, relevant article that's already live and indexed on the site.

Guidelines:

  • 1 link per placement

  • Your destination page has to be genuinely relevant to the host article

  • We choose the placement location — the link has to read naturally in context

  • Anchor text is contextual; we'll work with your preference where it fits

  • No exact-match or overly commercial anchors

Turnaround: 24–48 hours after payment and approval

  • Natural integration into the listicle body

  • Contextual anchor text

  • Your choice of 6-month or 12-month placement

Pricing

Rates depend on two things: the placement type, and where your link points.

  • Educational — your link goes to a blog post or resource page

  • Promotional — your link goes to a homepage or landing page

Educational placements are priced lower. Promotional placements cost more because they carry direct commercial intent.
Email us with the placement type and your destination URL and we'll send exact pricing.
Rates are fixed. We don't negotiate individual placements. If you're an agency or reseller looking at volume, say so in your first email and we'll talk about it separately.

Payment: PayPal, before publishing. Your placement goes live within 24–48 hours of payment and approval. Listicles take about a week.
