Write for Us – Shoreline Public Adjusters Blog

Share Your Expertise With Property Owners

Do you write about homeownership, property management, real estate, risk prevention, or insurance? Do you know something that would help a homeowner, condo board, or business owner protect their property and avoid costly surprises? We'd love to publish it on the Shoreline Public Adjusters blog.

We're looking for practical, experience-based articles written for property owners in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

Why Write for Shoreline?

  • Put your expertise in front of property owners, HOA and condo boards, and business owners
  • Build authority in the insurance and property space
  • Get a credited byline, an author bio, and a link to your website

What We're Looking For

We welcome original, well-researched blog posts on topics like:

  • Storm, fire, freeze, and water-damage prevention for homes and businesses
  • Home and building maintenance that helps owners avoid a loss
  • Understanding coverage when buying, renewing, or comparing a property insurance policy
  • Guidance for HOAs, condo boards, landlords, and commercial property owners on managing property and risk
  • Buying, owning, and maintaining property in the Upper Midwest and Florida
  • Industry trends and expert commentary on property insurance

Topics & Links We Do Not Accept

Because we're a licensed public adjusting firm, paid placements are not available to any business that provides repairs, restoration, water or fire mitigation, roofing, construction, engineering, estimating, appraisal or umpire services, public or independent adjusting, legal services, or any other product or service a property owner would use in connection with an insurance claim or property loss. That includes agencies and link builders buying on behalf of such a business. We review the site being linked to, not just the buyer, and we remove any paid link whose destination later falls into one of these categories.

We also do not publish, link to, or accept submissions in the following categories:

  • CBD, THC, delta-8, kratom, vaping, tobacco, or any cannabis-adjacent products
  • Gambling, casinos, online betting, sweepstakes, or lottery
  • Adult content, dating, escort services, or "sugar" sites
  • Cryptocurrency, NFTs, forex, day-trading, or "get rich quick" content
  • Payday loans, debt consolidation, credit repair, or high-risk financial services
  • Firearms, weapons, ammunition, or tactical gear
  • Pharmaceuticals, supplements making medical claims, or telehealth prescription services
  • Replica goods, knockoffs, or counterfeit products
  • Essay-writing services, paper mills, or academic fraud
  • MLM, pyramid opportunities, or "business opportunity" pitches
  • Hate speech, political campaigning, or content that targets any group
  • Content that offers to handle, negotiate, or file an insurance claim, or that invites readers to file one
  • Content that describes a claim or claim service as free, no-risk, or risk-free
  • Legal advice
  • Content that encourages misrepresenting a loss, inflating damage, or waiving a deductible
  • Names or details of any Shoreline client, claim, or employee
  • AI-generated, spun, or scraped content
  • Off-topic submissions unrelated to property, insurance, real estate, home, or small business

Link rules within accepted posts:

  • Every link in a paid placement is marked rel="sponsored," as Google's guidelines require for paid links, and every paid placement is labeled as paid
  • All outbound links must point to the contributor's own primary domain or verified social profiles
  • No exact-match commercial anchor text (e.g., "best [keyword] in [city]"). Anchors must be branded, URL-based, or natural
  • No links to redirects, URL shorteners, affiliate networks, or third-party "money" pages
  • We reserve the right to remove any link at our discretion

Submission Guidelines

  • Length: 1,000–2,000 words
  • Originality: Your post must be 100% original, non-AI-generated, and not published elsewhere
  • Tone: Conversational but credible, helpful, and written as if you were talking to a property owner
  • Formatting: Use subheadings (H2/H3), short paragraphs, and bullet points where needed
  • Real experience: Include at least one example from your own work. Remove anything that could identify a customer, including names, addresses, insurance companies, dollar amounts, and dates
  • Sources: Any statement about a law, regulation, deadline, or statistic must link to its primary source, such as the official statute, regulation, or government agency page
  • Images: Include exactly 3 high-quality, non-stock images, one of which we'll use as the header photo (you must own the rights or have permission to share them)
  • Author bio: A 2–3 sentence bio with your name, credentials, and business
  • Links: You may include 1–2 relevant links to your website or social media profiles, subject to the link rules above

Pricing & Publishing Options

We offer two publishing options. Choose the one that fits your goals. You will only be invoiced if our team accepts your submission. All prices are non-negotiable and non-refundable once your post is live.

Option 1 — Guest Post — $50

  • You submit an original 1,000–2,000 word post (per the guidelines above)
  • We publish it on the Shoreline blog under your byline, with your author bio and 1–2 links to your site marked rel="sponsored"
  • The post is labeled "Paid Advertisement" at the top, with a short note that your company paid to publish it
  • Best fit for: businesses that want to reach property owners with their own article, under their own name

Option 2 — Link Insertion in an Existing Post — $70

  • We add one contextual link to your site, marked rel="sponsored," inside a relevant, already-published Shoreline blog post
  • The link is labeled as a paid link right next to it
  • You don't write anything. You provide the target URL, preferred anchor text (subject to our anchor rules), and a short note about the page being linked
  • Anchor text must be branded, URL-based, or natural. No exact-match commercial keywords
  • We only place a link where it genuinely helps the readers of that post. If no post is a good fit, we'll tell you before sending an invoice
  • Best fit for: businesses that want a link from a relevant article that's already published

Both options are subject to our content standards and the prohibited topics list above. We reserve the right to decline any request before invoicing.

Our Process — How It Works

Here's exactly what to expect from submission to publishing:

Step 1 — Submit the form. Use the form at the bottom of this page. Tell us which option you're requesting, your topic or target URL, and any relevant details. If you're submitting a written post, share it as a Google Doc link.

Step 2 — We review and edit. We review every submission against the guidelines and prohibited topics on this page, and we check every legal or statistical claim against its source. We remove any statement about insurance policies, claims, deadlines, fees, or the law that we can't verify. We reserve the right to decline any request for any reason. If declined, no invoice is sent and you are not charged.

Step 3 — We send an invoice. If accepted, we email you a direct invoice. We do not send PayPal links and we will never accept PayPal payments. Any message claiming to be from us that includes a PayPal link is not from Shoreline Public Adjusters.

Step 4 — Payment is required before publishing. We do not allow payment after publishing under any circumstances. Once your invoice is paid in full and we have received all required files (article, images, author bio, anchor text, target URL, etc.), your placement enters our publishing queue.

Step 5 — Publishing window: 4–7 business days. We aim to publish posts and link insertions within 4–7 business days after we have both your payment and all required files. Whichever arrives last starts the clock.

Step 6 — We share the live link. Once published, we email you the live URL of your post or link insertion.

What We Reserve the Right to Do

By submitting your article or request, you acknowledge and agree that Shoreline Public Adjusters reserves the right to:

  • Edit for clarity, length, grammar, formatting, accuracy, or SEO without prior approval
  • Decline any submission that does not meet our editorial standards, topic focus, or prohibited-topics policy
  • Remove or modify any link we feel is not relevant or compliant
  • Label paid content as a paid advertisement
  • Add internal links to related blog content or services
  • Update or republish your post in the future for accuracy or timeliness
  • Remove previously published content, or any paid link, if we later determine it no longer meets our standards or legal requirements

Guest posts reflect the views of their authors. Payment is for publication only, not for a recommendation: publishing a guest post or a link is not an endorsement or referral by Shoreline Public Adjusters, and nothing on our blog is legal advice.

We only publish work that gives property owners accurate, useful information. Thank you for respecting our editorial standards!
