About The SIte:

  • A: While some people discover us by searching for creativity blogs or creative writing blogs, Feeling Creative? is an independent creative digital magazine — a step beyond a traditional blog in both editorial standards and community focus.

  • A: Feeling Creative? is an independent creative digital magazine and community hub for artists, writers, and professionals from any creative space. Our mission is to be a trusted, spam-free platform for creatives to connect, collaborate, promote, be inspired, and grow. You can read our full story on our About page.

  • A: Yes, it is 100% free for both readers and contributors. Our mission is to build a community grounded in collaboration, not commerce. We do not have popup ads, and we will never sell your data. We just ask that you help spread the word and invite your creative friends. We’re trying to grow this place into something cool. The more we grow, the more it’ll benefit everyone involved.

  • A: No, it’s costing money actually. The site is funded 100% “out of pocket”; it is not monetized, with no ads or data being sold. The goal is to eventually be able to attract paying sponsors to the site, but we have to grow a bit more before that can happen…however, the site will never be overrun by ads, links or unrelated spammy content.

  • A: "Feeling Creative?" was founded by Mike Meyerson, a video producer and the owner of Absolute Motion in NY. He started this project to create a genuine, high-quality space for creatives to network and share their work.

  • A: At our launch we had enough content to post 3 times per week (Mon/Wed/Fri), and the goal is to keep on that schedule. Sometimes we publish a bonus article on Saturdays.

  • It goes out every other Tuesday and contains links to the articles from the previous 2 weeks, site news, and a creative quote to inspire you and/or make you laugh. New subscribers also receive our free guide, Marketing for Creatives, delivered instantly in their welcome email. Sign up HERE.

Contributing to the Blog

  • A: We welcome articles from all types of creatives, whether you're a seasoned professional, a passionate hobbyist, or just starting your journey. We feature work from artists, designers, filmmakers, photographers, musicians, writers, performing artists, designers and more.

  • A: We have two main ways to contribute: In-Depth Articles and a "Creator Spotlight." Our core rules are that all content must be high-quality and provide real value to our community. You can read the complete guidelines on our Contribute page.

  • A: In return for your valuable contribution, you will receive a dedicated author bio at the end of your post. This includes a dofollow link to your personal portfolio or website, which is a powerful way to build your own site's authority and SEO, plus links to all your social media profiles. We will also share your article on our social media pages as well.

  • A: Because we know that SEO (search engine optimization) is a critical part of marketing for artists and writers, and we want to provide real, tangible value to our contributors. A dofollow link is a powerful "vote of confidence" from our high-authority site to yours, which helps your personal site rank higher on Google. We are obsessed with building a clean, authoritative, spam-free site. We're not a "link farm" like some blogs; we're building a high-quality platform, and we want to share that with our creative community.

  • A: Most artists hate marketing. We get it. But unless you are Banksy, you need eyes on your work. Guest posting is the "punk rock" alternative to paying for ads.

    Instead of shouting into the void of social media (where your post dies in 24 hours), a guest post on a high-authority digital magazine lives forever. It builds your reputation, introduces your work to a new audience, and creates a permanent "backlink" to your portfolio…which is the #1 secret to showing up on Google when people search for your art.

  • A: Instagram owns your audience; you don't. If their algorithm changes tomorrow, you disappear.

    When you write a guest post, you get three massive advantages:

    Authority: You are no longer just "some person on the internet"; you are a "published author/artist" on a respected hub.

    Traffic: You get a steady stream of curious readers clicking through to your site for years, not just hours.

    SEO Advantage: Every guest post gives you a quality backlink, which tells Google that your personal site is trustworthy and helps you rank higher in search results — something social media posts alone can't do.

  • A: Yes, you can! We believe you should always own your own work. We just ask that you wait 2 weeks after its first published here, so that Google recognizes us as the "original" source. When you do re-post, we ask that you add a simple line at the top or bottom that says, "This article was originally published on Feeling Creative?" with a link back to the original article here. This is the best SEO practice for both of our sites. We also ask that you share your articles original link (to here) on your social media pages, which can be done at any time.

  • A: Our platform is for human artists and writers to share their personal creative perspectives. We do not accept articles that are 100% generated by AI. However, we understand that AI is a powerful tool. If you use AI as a "collaborative partner" to help with outlines, research, or to get a "head start", that's perfectly fine, we get it. We just ask that the final article is in your unique voice and represents your personal story and expertise.

  • A: We are a small, passionate team, not a giant corporation, so we ask for your patience. We review every submission manually. We will typically get back to you quickly with a "yes," "no," or some suggestions. Once your article is approved, we will schedule it for the next available content slot, which maybe a few weeks depending on how much content we have at the time.

Sponsorship and Community

  • A: Yes, we are building a sponsorship program for a select few brands and organizations that share our values. We're looking for partners from related creative niches, like camera companies, art supply stores, design software brands, or equipment manufacturers.

    If you're interested in being featured and reaching our growing community of creators, please get in touch with us via our contact page to discuss a potential partnership.
