"How do I learn more about becoming a Guest Writer?"
Go to the Guest Writer page to read about becoming a Guest Writer for SSG and review the terms and qualifications.

Spiritually oriented people in general, ranging from those new to spirituality to metaphysicians, to New Agers, to religious folks to people who just enjoy uplifting and inspiring writing.
"Does it cost anything to write?"
Nope.
"If I subscribe to the SSG Team Blog, does that mean I'm an SSG Team Blog writer?"
No, it means that you are subscribing to receive the SSG Team Blog as new entries are posted.
"How do I make a submission to the SSG Team Blog?"
The "How-To-Submit" is listed on the SSG Team Blog page towards the bottom of the page.
"What do I need to include with my submission to the SSG Team Blog?"
For our purposes, we would prefer that you simply put your full name or a byline at the end of each article you submit, and a copyright date. We expect to have many submissions from each author over time, so keeping the footer to your posts as simplified as possible will make it easier to streamline the process.
"What about copyrights?" "Do I need to copyright my work?"
Your written works are automatically protected by Federal copyright law when you write them. We also have blanket copyright notices posted at SSG.
"Can I promote my article that is posted on the SSG Team Blog?"
You betcha! You can promote as many posts as you want. Please use the widgets on the Spread the Word page to share online with your friends, on your website, at your Myspace profile, in your groups, in bulletins, in emails to others, etc. The great thing is, if you post a widget with the "Include a "Grab this" link" checkbox activated, then other people who see your widget can duplicate it and spread the word themselves!
"Once I post a blog, can I go back and change it?"
If it's your personal blog, you can sign into your blog and edit your posts at any time. If it's the SSG Team Blog, you will need to ask the administrators to make any edits to your entries.
"Is there a way that I can tell how many people have viewed my blog?"
Yes, by creating your own counter. SSG recommends using amazingcounters.com to create your own counter button for your personal blog. In your blog dashboard (home page), you will add this HTML under "Layout" and then "Add a page element." This will record visits to your blog.
