Seeking wellness professionals

We are still looking for wellness professionals who are interested in writing articles about their area of expertise.
  • Are you able to share your knowledge in a way that ordinary people easily can understand?
  • Do you burn for your profession?
  • Are you interested in educating and informing the public about wellness and what you work with on a daily basis?
If you can answer yes to the above, then you are the one we're looking for. You don't need to be a professional writer or have lots of experience writing articles or blogs. What's important is that you are knowledgeable in your field and can share that knowledge with ordinary people, people like your clients and neighbours.

Wellness is a very broad topic and the topics can be anything from massage therapy, benefits of various spa treatments, exercise and personal training, food and nutrition, advantages to positive thinking, self-help in all forms, preventive healthcare, importance of sunlight, why green tea is good for people, immune system, how to quit smoking or something else.

According to dictionary.com Wellness is defined as:
  1. the quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, esp. as the result of deliberate effort.
  2. an approach to healthcare that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as opposed to emphasizing treating diseases.
And these are the primarily areas we hope to cover in the articles on the site. Though of course there are room for more popular wellness things such as manicures, mud-wraps and sauna visits. After all, when it comes to it, body, mind and spirit are connected and affect each other.

Now you might ask, what's in it for me? Currently we can offer you the following advantages from writing for Taunaki:
  1. Description of you and your business, which means free advertising. This includes links back to your homepage or other things you've written, contact information and so on. By each article you write there'll be a brief splash that you determine the content of. In addition, there's room for more information about you in your user profile. We have more planned to benefit our writing professionals.
  2. This is a chance for you to get in direct contact with potential clients via your writings and educate them about the benefits of what you write about. Increasing public knowledge about your wellness product can lead to more customers and clients for your business.
  3. Establishing yourself as an expert in your field. By writing articles and publishing them, you have material you can refer your clients to, as well as other wellness professionals. You build credibility which in return will make people refer to you when speaking about your wellness area.
  4. Visibility. The more you are on the net, the more visible you are and the more likely you are to turn up in various searches about your area of expertise. As you become established, people will begin to link to your works and pages improving your visibility.
If you're interested in writing articles for Taunaki, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Signing up as a writer doesn't mean you have to write lots of articles. You only write what you have time for and desire to write, and about the topics which you are passionate about and have interest in. There is no obligation to write every week or even every month. If you only have one article to write, then thati s fine. If you have 25, then that is even more so. That said, the more articles you write and publish, the more you build your credibility and visibility. It's an investment in your business and promoting yourself.

The only obligation you have is to write your own articles and that it is about wellness. We do recommend that you are able to support the claims and conclusions in your articles by naming sources, since that increases credibility and people's trust in you.

Taunaki reserves any right to remove content which we deem as inappropriate in any manner, be it by making false claims, discrimination, or other thing which might insult the users of the site. You can read more in the ToS.
