Want to Write for By Land?
Thank you for taking an interest in writing for the site! Please take a minute to read through the mission of By Land so you can decide if it fits your personal mission as well.
THE MISSION
By Land wasn’t created to reach millions, but rather to reach one person. If just one person can take something away from what is produced by this website, podcast, and YouTube channel, that puts them on a new trajectory going forward, then the mission is met. This can be done through a gear review, a personal blog post, an educational article, or an interview with a guest. We all have our personal barriers and By Land was built to help break those down for people.
ONE person. That’s all. Change their life, change their thought process in a positive way, enhance their experience, and give them confidence and you’ll change the life of far more than ONE because they’ll no doubt impact the lives of others around them.
By Land is does this through the medium of backpacking. For the time being, this is what the focus is.
VALUES
None of the work here can be done with out the following values.
Honesty and Transparency
It’s no good if you can’t be honest about your experiences and tell the honest truth.
Building Bridges Across Outdoor Communities
We all have something in common; a love of the outdoors. No matter where you come from or what you do, we are all on the same team and the only way we can understand each other is by listening and hearing each other out.
Integrity
Without integrity you have nothing. It is the foundation of decision making in the field and your daily life. Do the right thing at all times and be willing to admit when you’ve made a mistake.
REQUIREMENTS
If you have something you want to put out into the world that you feel can help someone, that’s all that matters. There is no word count requirement or anything like that. As long as you get your point across then it’s a wing. That said, here are my ONLY real requirements that MUST be met before an article is published.
Must be ORIGINAL content.
You MUST have experience with what you’re writing about. If you’re an SEO warrior who is only interested in getting their articles published but have zero experience to back up what you’re writing about, then this website is not for you.
Original images are REQUIRED. You don’t need to be a professional photographer, but it helps to have some images to go along with the story. This also helps show that you have the experience to back up what you’re writing about. If you don’t have any images to go along with your article, please let me know and we can work to figure something out. Stock images are not acceptable.
