Write For Us at House Of Pheromones if you’ve got something real to say about pheromones, fragrance, men’s grooming, dating, or self-improvement… and the chops to write it the way you’d say it.
When you write for us, your work goes out under a brand that has been covering this niche for more than a decade, to a readership of skeptical, curious men who came here because they got tired of being lied to elsewhere.
The writers we publish treat their subject patiently, specifically, and from inside the material. They’ve lived something, tested something, or thought hard about something most people in this space hand-wave past. And they can write it without sounding like the rest of the internet.
If you’re one of those writers, the rest of this page is the practical stuff you need to know.
What We Want You To Write About
Anything inside the territory below, and the more inside-baseball your angle, the better:
Pheromones. The science, the field-test experience, the formula breakdowns, the brand mechanics. If you’ve spent thirty days wearing a product and felt the world bend slightly differently around you… we want to read that piece.
Fragrance. Niche or designer, cologne or perfume oil, classic chypre or modern aquatic, anything in the range. The good fragrance writing on the internet lives on Basenotes and a handful of YouTube channels. We’d like more of it on HOP. Bring a real point of view.
Men’s grooming. Skincare, beard care, hair, body care, the whole stack. The pieces we publish in this space break down a routine that actually works, surface a product nobody else is talking about, or argue against a piece of conventional wisdom that’s wrong.
Dating and attraction. The honest end of it. Approach anxiety, post-divorce dating, getting out of the friendzone, the difference between performative confidence and the real thing, what’s changed in the dating market in the last five years. Real experience, real outcomes.
Self-improvement. Specifically the parts that connect to the above. Discipline, social skills, body recomposition, sleep, mental performance… the unglamorous work that actually moves the needle on a man’s life. If your piece is specific, earned, and useful to a reader who’s trying to do the thing rather than read about it, we want to read it.
The adjacent stuff. If your topic isn’t on this list but you can argue why it fits the audience, pitch us anyway. Some of the best pieces we’ve published this year weren’t topics we’d thought to ask for. Surprise us.
What We Look For In A Submission
A few qualities we ask for in every guest article. None of them are extraordinary. All of them are routinely missing from the pitches that come in:
Original work. Not published anywhere else, not on your own blog, not on Medium, not on LinkedIn. Once we run it, you can syndicate it elsewhere with a canonical link back to HOP after a 30-day exclusivity window. Before that, no.
Written by you. Not by an AI, not “drafted by AI then polished.” A real person, with real opinions, putting actual words on the page. Our readers can tell. So can we.
Specific, not abstract. Every claim should be earned by an example, a study, a personal experience, or a concrete observation. “Pheromones can affect mood” is the kind of sentence we cut. “I ran a six-week test wearing one product four nights a week and tracked the responses I got at three regular bars” is the kind of sentence we publish.
Cite your sources where it matters. If you reference a study, link to it. If you reference a brand claim, name the brand. If you make an assertion that someone could reasonably push back on, give the reader the means to verify it.
Earns its keep as content first. A guest article should still stand if you stripped every brand mention out of it. If the piece would collapse without a particular product pitch inside it, the piece doesn’t have anything to say.
Guest Post Guidelines
1,500 words minimum. Anything shorter usually means the topic wasn’t fully thought through. Most accepted pieces sit between 1,800 and 3,000 words. There’s no upper limit if the piece earns the length.
One topic per piece. A focused 2,000-word article on one specific question lands harder than a sprawling 4,000-word survey of a whole category every time.
Author bio at the end. Up to 80 words, written in the third person, telling readers who you are, what you do, and why you have anything to say about the topic you wrote about.
Standard formatting. Plain prose with H2 and H3 headings. No tables of contents (we add those). No excessive bolding. If you’ve got a great image you took or made yourself, send it as an attachment with the email.
American English by default. That’s how the rest of the site is written. We’ll let Australianisms through if they’re load-bearing.
How To Submit Your Guest Post
We don’t have a submission form. We use email, and we keep it simple.
Go to our contact page and send your pitch with WRITE: in the subject line. So your subject would look something like:
WRITE: How I finally got out of the friendzone at 32 (pitch)
That subject prefix routes your email to the editorial pile. Without it, your pitch lands in a queue we read less often.
In the body of the email, give us:
- The headline of the piece you want to write, or the one you’ve already written
- A two-sentence summary of the angle and why it matters
- Word count if it’s drafted, or expected word count if it’s still a pitch
- One link to something else you’ve written, ideally on a topic adjacent to ours
- The full draft attached as a Google Doc or Word file if it’s already written
If you’re pitching the idea before writing it, we’ll get back to you within five business days with a yes, a no, or a steer toward an angle we’d be more interested in. If you’re sending a finished draft, the turnaround is a bit longer because we read it more carefully.
If we publish your piece, you’ll see it go live with full attribution, your bio, and a share across the site’s social channels. You’ll be welcome to pitch us again as a contributing writer, and most of our recurring guest bloggers came in through this exact process.
That’s the whole thing. Get the angle right, write something specific, send it our way.
Joe
P.S. The fastest way to get to a yes is to read three or four pieces on House Of Pheromones before you pitch. Get the rhythm. Find a gap in our coverage. Write into it like you’ve been waiting to say this thing for years. Pitches from writers who’ve clearly done the homework go to the top of the pile.
