To make things easier for new bloggers, it may be worthwhile to create a document that goes over the rules and policies of the blog. This will help the blogger gain a better understanding of the blog work-flow and how things are run (every blog is a little different).
Here are some things you should have in this document.
Blog Policies
You should have a brief list of things you should not have in your posts. This can include copy-protected content, offensive language, defamation or slander statements, etc…
Especially for new bloggers who are not familiar with the readership, it would be worth it to write a few paragraphs about your target audience and the people who read your blog. This will help the bloggers come up with topics that are catered to the blogs readers.
Writing Process
Probably the most important part of managing a blog with multiple authors is having a clear writing process. Depending on your relationship with your bloggers, each process is going to have slight variations.
Here is a pretty straightforward process you can follow:
- Submit Blog Topics for Approval (to blog editor/manager)
- Approve and Set Due Date
- Write Post
- Submit as Pending Approval
- Edit if Necessary (editor or back to blogger)
- Set Launch Date and Time
- Monitor and Reply to Comments
Payments
Provide a summary of how bloggers will be paid. Include how much each blog post is worth, along with a breakdown of pricing if you have tiers for factors like post length or post type. Explain how and when the blogger will be paid. Some blogs will pay at the end of the month, others will pay after each post…it just depends. Some blogs will use Paypal, others will send by direct deposit or check.
