Write for us
Getmeds is an online pharmacy with a one-stop destination for all types of medicines and healthcare products. Getmeds allows you to write a healthcare blog by providing information to the readers. Our blog is about productivity, team efficiency, employee management, and work-life balance. If you’re an experienced writer and want to write for us, we’ll be happy to hear from you. That being said, we have some ground rules that we ask you to follow, or we won’t be able to accept your submission.
Here’s what we’re looking for in an article:
Originality
We do not publish content that has already been published somewhere else. Google doesn’t like duplicate content, and we don’t like being your second choice.
Comprehensiveness
We’re looking for well-researched, in-depth articles that are at least 800 words long. The articles that do best are usually at least 1500 words long.
Actionable tips
We want practical tips and takeaways that our readers can put to work. That being said, use theory, research, and science for supporting your claims and making your article more comprehensive. Always add links to reputable sources that back up what you’re saying.
Real-life examples
Share your experience and use examples to help readers better understand the topic. In most cases, it’ll be your experience and unique standpoint that will add the most significant value to your article.
Logical structure
Pay attention to the structure and make sure it’s easy to follow your flow of thought. Every article should consist of an introduction, body, and conclusion. When writing, explain why you mention a specific idea or concept and how it helps answer the question proposed in the headline.
Reader-friendly formatting
We’re looking for articles that are easy to scan through – short paragraphs, clear headlines, sub-headlines, bullet lists, images, etc. In the best-case scenario, the reader should learn the main takeaways by only reading headlines.
Proper grammar
Use Grammarly (it’s free!), give a final proofread to your article before submitting it to us.
Please, do not pitch:
- Topics that have already been covered on our blog before
- Anything that is too promotional
- Articles whose only purpose is to get a backlink
A special note on links
Links are essential to articles, and we want you to use them – when you make a statement, quote research, use data in your story, want to provide readers with more context, etc. Always make sure you link to a reliable and trustworthy source. A bonus point is finding an article in the Getmeds blog that covers the same or similar topic and links it.
You can also add one link to a blog article and other informational content on your page if it organically fits the article and provides value to the reader. Links to product offers and services can also be added.
How to submit a blog on Getmeds:

Please, keep in mind that we only accept Google Docs (don’t forget to give editing access!).
Wait to hear back from us
If we’re interested, you’ll hear back from us. Because we receive many pitches, we may not be able to reply to all. If you have not heard back from us in 5 business days, feel free to offer your idea to someone else.
Write your article
Once your outline is accepted, we’ll ask you to write and submit a draft. Please, do it by following our guidelines! If the finished article doesn’t fit our guidelines and quality standards, we retain the right to decline to publish it.
Get published
After your article is published, we’ll be happy if you help us promote it:
- Share it on your social media.
- Send an email to your subscriber list.
- People, you’ve mentioned in the article, and encourage them to do everything mentioned above!
