You can also include a short bio (2-3 sentences or 120 words max) when you create or edit your account.

You can contribute a post when you like. Which means no deadlines, except the ones you create for yourself! The wealth and diversity of the likeitGirl content allows you to manage your schedule without committing to publish on a regular basis. There will always be new articles.
Moreover, the brands present on likeitGirl won’t be involved in The Naked Truth, you therefore benefit from a total freedom of speech, even if you cover related topics. likeitGirl is particularly insistent on this aspect, which is our essential key differentiator.
5. Benefit from the support and experience of a team of professionals
The likeitGirl team of professionals will support you by reviewing your work and helping you, where needed, and give your post a title to optimize visibility and interest. You can also get support choosing high-quality photos or even producing professional photos or videos, where possible, making your work look great! (info@likeitgirl.com).
1. Follow these 3 steps:
a) Become a member by creating your account
b) Create your profile (including a profile picture and a brief bio, if you wish)
c) Create your article within the online editor (it will be published upon validation)
2. What you need to know:
1. Write in your own voice: A great post will sound like a real person wrote it, and it will have a distinctive voice. If you’re not sure what “voice” means in this context, think about it this way: how would you explain your idea to a good friend? Use that conversational tone when you write! This is very personal and we wouldn’t advise you trying to imitate a tone you like to read or that sounds “professional”. Be yourself!
2. Keep it short: These don’t need to be long posts! Just 800 words or less is great! If you’re going to offer tips, include a short introductory paragraph explaining why you’re offering this advice. Are you an expert on the topic? Did you struggle to understand the issue and want to share your knowledge?
3. Delete needless words: Delete needless words: Sometimes people use several words when just one will do the trick. We recommend taking one look at your piece to make sure you’re only including words that are absolutely necessary.
4. Use an authoritative voice: It’s understood that likeitGirl posts are the opinion of the author. As the writer, you’re the expert on your own opinion! For this reason, you don’t need to use phrases like, “in my opinion,” or “I believe,” which detract from the idea you’re trying to convey.
5. Include an amazing photo: Remember, this is what people see first. Make sure the photo you’re choosing is a gorgeous, professional-quality one that will tease your readers’ curiosity to want and know more. You should have at least one header photo but you can add more photos in the body of the text to further explain what you describe in your posts. These photos should be you or a model and should help explain what you are describing. You can also use videos as tutorials that you can record yourself. These photos should be original and high-quality. Please e-mail info@likeitgirl.com if you need support.
6. Quote your sources, especially for well-being and health-related topics: If you mention a statistic or a study, please include a link to that source. If you’re claiming that something is true, tell us how you know. You are responsible for what you write. If you share an article or content from another article, quote your source by including the url.
