Want to join, but hesitant? Here are a few thoughts
I can’t join, because i’m not very good at writing
This isn’t a problem. As long as you can cross your T’s and dot your I’s then you can write well enough. If your spelling and grammar aren’t great we don’t mind as all posts are checked and edited if necessary prior to release. After all, we want to make sure the content on DistanceHiker.com is great and represents both you, and us well. Think of us as your personal editor! Compelling honest account’s of your time on the trai lare a must.
I cannot join as I don’t know enough about hiking.
If you are new to hiking, this doesn’t matter. You still have a story to tell and if you want to share it, we will help you. You will be surprised how many people want to hear your story.
I would rather have my own blog
We get it, having your own blog is nice. However, by blogging with us, you still retain rights to your content, you can post and share about your experiences freely, have access to an editor while having your content shared throughout our content network!
We will also make sure each blog post is SEO optimized and reaches the biggest audience possible through its lifetime on our website. And of course, you can still have your own blog in addition to posting with us!
