Guidelines

**As we are a very new platform, these guidelines may change at any time. Please check back regularly for our updates! Thank you!**

1) Is it FREE to post on the Online CoWork home page?

Yes! It is free right now for everyone to add their content to our home page database. This includes adding your event to our public calendar on our website - and it also includes your products and services that are paid.

Right now, we will also be sharing your post on our Twitter page! (This will change in the future though if the number of posts exceed a certain level - so add your post today!)

2) Do I need to identify as a women (womxn) to add a post?

Our platform is female-focused, but if you don't identify as a woman, you are still welcome to post if you feel that our platform could be of use to you! Our aim is not to discriminate, but rather to focus on a specific demographic that can be helped by our products and services.

3) Do I need to create new content that is only for Online CoWork followers?

No, not at all! The great thing about Online CoWork is that we only share a link to content that you have already published somewhere else on the web - whether you published it on your website or your social media sites! There is no need to create new content.

4) What kind of content can I post?

You can post many different types of content, products and services:

• blogs
• podcast episodes
• Facebook Livestreams
• online retreats
• physical products
• digital products
• online courses
• counsultations
• free ebooks and guides (you can even keep them behind your opt-in wall!)
• online events
• Facebook posts
• Instagram posts
• YouTube videos
• remote jobs
• your website or LinkedIn profile so we can add it to our 'hire me' section

Your products and services can be free or paid but they should be created by you. You cannot post on behalf of someone else.

5) What kind of content topics do you accept?

You may post content on almost any topic! We have a focus on posts that can help our members to start/build their online businesses or to work online, but we accept posts on any topic that may be of value to our audience - from cooking to travel!

Having said this, please see below for the kinds of content that we are not able to accept.

6) If my post is not approved, what could be the reason?

Please note that we reserve the right to reject any posts at our discretion without explanation in order to maintain the quality of the feed.

Posts are likely to be rejected if the content is:

• Low quality (e.g. poorly written content, very low quality video, etc).
• Does not align with our brand vision
• Contains adult content
• Is not unique, feels spammy, may be infringing on copyright laws
• Is directly promoting MLM/affiliate/dropshipping or crypto/forex products
• If the submission form is incomplete or poorly written
• If the content/opinions expressed are controversial
• If the submission is not in English (stay tuned for updates about this in the future!)
• If you post the same content multiple times
• If you post multiple pieces of content in a 24 hour period
• If your post does not fit with the 'vibe' of our feed
• If we feel that your post would not be a good fit for our audience

Thank you for understanding!

7) I have an MLM / network marketing / dropshipping / crypto / forex / affiliate business - may I post?

As of now, we unfortunately cannot accept content that directly promotes MLM/affiliate/crypto/forex/affiliate products due to the duplicate nature of these. However, you may include affiliate links in your blogs, for example - but only if your blog is truly providing value to our readers and is not copied from the promotional materials provided by the affiliate company, for example.

8) I am new to online business and I'm not making any money yet. Can I post?

Yes! We are here to support you on this journey - even if you're just starting out. You don't even need a website - you can submit posts from your social media sites or even from your Google drive! We want to see your zone of genius :) Please note though that your post is still subject to approval at our discretion.

9) Will I get a lot of traffic to my link?

Our aim is to create a hub where small online businesses, freelancers and 'solopreneurs' can post their products and services. We don't make any guarantees right now about the traffic or engagement that you will receive.

10) How long will the submission form take me to complete?

The form should only take 5 minutes to complete. You will just need to provide details such as content type, title, short description, author name, etc. We wanted to make the submission process quick and easy so that each time you create new content (such as writing a new blog post or creating a new event) you can head over here and submit it in a few minutes!

11) What happens after I complete the form?

Once the check-out process is complete, your submission will go through to an admin to await approval. If approved, it should be live on the website and social media sites within 72 hours. We will message you as soon as your post is approved!

NOTE: Due to the large amounts of spam posts we receive, if your post is not approved, we regret that we are not able to let you know.

12) Who are your readers? Will my content be relevant to them?

Our audience includes both female online entrepreneurs and people from all over the world who are interested in supporting female online entrepreneurs! It also includes women around the world with remote jobs.

Please note that we unfortunately cannot accept submissions from local businesses (such as a hair salon in Sydney for example) as our audience is not relevant for a specific local market.

It is mandatory for all submissions to appeal to an international audience in order to be accepted.

13) How many posts can I submit?

Right now, we are not restricting posts (but please note that this will change in the future as the platform grows). So each time you create new content (such as a new blog article, new podcast episode, new event, etc) head over to Online CoWork and submit a post! :)

Having said this, as we are a new platform, please try to allow at least 14 days between each of your post submissions in order to provide varied content on our feed.

For events, please make sure that you submit your post at least 7 days in advance in order to allow time for post approval and publishing. We cannot be held responsible for any posts that are not published in time.

14) Can I submit the same post multiple times?

Unfortunately not. Right now we are not accepting duplicate posts. Please do not submit the same blog post every 2 weeks (for example).

For recurring events though (for example if you host a fitness class every Thursday), you may submit the same post each week. But please note that if we are not receiving enough post submissions, we unfortunately may not be able to post your recurring event as it would dominate the feed and wouldn't be a good experience for our readers.

Please note that in the future though, if/when we are receiving a lot of posts, duplicate posts will be allowed in order to help push your content to the top of the feed.

15) I would like to post an event, will you add this to the Google Calendar on your home page?

Yes! If you post an event, we will ALSO add it to our community calendar on our home page. Members can save your event from the calendar to their own Google Calendar for reminders if they wish to. We accept all kinds of events but they must be online:

• Scheduled Facebook/Instagram Livestreams
• Online Masterclasses
• Yoga and other Online Fitness classes
• Online Retreats
• Virtual Summits
• and more

Please be sure to include the correct details of your event on the submission form - for example, the correct time-zone, duration, link, title, etc. If there are details missing, we unfortunately will not be able to publish your event.

Please make sure that you submit your post at least 7 days in advance in order to allow time for post approval and publishing. We cannot be held responsible for any posts that are not published in time.

16) Will you be sharing my post anywhere other than your website home page?

Yes! As we're just starting out, we'll be sharing your post to our Twitter page at no cost to you! If you are sharing an event, we will also add it to the community calendar on our home page.

In the future, sharing to these places may be a premium service if we receive a large number of submissions daily. So add your post today!
