Audience
The audience for blog articles on the diydigital.com.au site is sole traders and small business owners (under 5 employees).
The articles are for beginners who are trying to understand websites, digital marketing and best practices for using computers and the internet for business purposes. They are for business owners who are often doing it themselves. The blogs on this site are not aimed at experienced marketers.
Style and Tone
The articles are helpful, not self-promotional. Use accessible language. No jargon, lingo or corporate speak. Keep it easy to understand.
Use bullet points, short paragraphs, screenshots and sub-headings to increase readability.
Australian (UK) English is used.

500 – 1,500 words
Headlines
Provide one or two for us to consider

Other images and screenshots can also be used in the body of the article. All images must be free from copyright restrictions (eg royalty free). Submit images as high resolution .jpg or other image file. Images that are personal or authentic (rather than stock images) are preferred, but not essential.
