Many thanks for expressing an interest in blogging / vlogging for Nexus Education and our 11,000+ teaching community.

We are strong advocates of unshackling teachers and letting you blog on whatever you are passionate about however we have put some guidelines / FAQ’s together that will help you.

Why should I blog?

Read this piece by Nexus co-founder, Damien, about why everyone should consider blogging: https://www.nexus-education.com/why-should-you-consider-blogging/

What can I write about?

You can write / speak on any subject you are passionate about. We find people write best when they are talking about what they love. If you like, we can edit your piece which we will always send you a draft of before it goes live. The piece must not be promoting a company in a commercial capacity.

Your piece must be original in its content and exclusive to our website. If you want us to link out to an already published piece then we will need a minimum 150  word introduction or review so we can add context before linking out to your piece.

How often can I write?

You can write as little or as often as you like. We tend not to have deadlines as we know how busy people are and we are thankful for anytime people give to Nexus. We feel this sets us apart as we know how much pressure those in the education sector are already under.

Word count 

Blogs on the site average around 300-800 words but some are longer and more in depth, others are shorter and more of a snapshot. If you really want to connect even further with the audience, then video blogging is also encouraged. 

What else do we need?

• Profile image of the author.
• Preferred Job Title.
• Title for the piece.
• A 100-150 word author blurb written in the third person
• Try to find or suggest a copyright-free image to go with your blog in ‘.png/ .jpg/ .gif or jpeg’ format.
• Send us any other image(s) for the article in ‘.png/ .jpg/ .gif or jpeg’ format.
• Send us all your social media and website backlinks so we can drive our audience to you.
• Finally, declare any commercial affiliations/mentions in the blog.

Images and external content

Make sure you have permission to use images and external content displayed in your blog. You can see more in our terms and conditions https://www.nexus-education.com/terms-and-conditions/

Where do you send it?

Once written / recorded please send your blog, and the content mentioned above, to rhiannon@nexus-education.com. 

Do I get paid for my blog?

We don’t currently pay our community for their blogs. Most see it as a way to increase their following and have a positive impact on the sector. It is important to state that we don’t make any money from our community (we don’t charge schools a penny) and we actually donate tens of thousands back to schools via our events platform – NeXworking.

Nexus Education Awards

All blogs submitted will be considering for a nomination at our annual Awards evening which celebrates the best of our community through-out the year. For more info on our Awards visit www.nexus-education.com/nexus-awards

Thank you for writing for us and welcome to Nexus Education!
