POST TYPE · THE BRAND AND ITS PEOPLE

The contributor post.
Their piece, their name.

Someone wrote for you — a guest article, an expert note. Lead with their point, name them clearly, and send people to the piece.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Open with a line from the piece, credited to the author. Say why they are worth listening to, then three takeaways from the piece, your one-line angle, and the link. The author is named in the first lines and never presented as you.

An example.

EXAMPLE — written for a made-up co-working space.

Cco-working spaceExample · Contributor

“Your first hire should take something off your plate, not add a role to your org chart.” — a member who has built three companies here She has hired 40 people across three start-ups, most of them from this building. Three things from her piece: 1. Hire for the task you hate most. 2. Write the job as a list of outcomes. 3. Trial for a week, paid. Read it on our blog: [link]

The mistakes to avoid.

  • Burying the author's name.
  • Taking credit for their ideas.

Questions people ask.

How do I credit a contributor?

Should I tag the contributor?
Yes, where the channel allows — they are likely to share it.
Can PaperFlight write a contributor post for me?
Yes. PaperFlight's AI CMO picks the kind for each day from your week plan; its Writer follows this structure in your voice, a critic checks it, and the Designer draws it as Contributor in your brand. You approve it, or let it publish on its own.
