Contributing to the blog

Last modified: 23 January 2024

Plugin vendors can submit a blog post as a part of their additional value program. Posting blog articles can help you position yourselves as thought leaders and drive awareness and interest in your plugin. Your post will be published in the JetBrains Platform blog or the blog of an applicable JetBrains product (subject to negotiation). You can state your preferences regarding which blog section you’d like to appear in, but this is up to editorial discretion.

This option is available for both paid and free plugin vendors, but your plugin shouldn’t be paid via own checkout. You can contribute in the form of a guest post or an interview. These types of posts can be published once per month. If there is a queue of posts to be published, submissions from commercial partners (paid plugin developers) will be prioritized. If your blog post is published on the JetBrains Platform blog, it is not allowed to reuse it on your own blog or other platforms. Instead, you can create a supporting post and provide a link to your guest post.

  • The topic of the article should be approved by JetBrains.

  • Your article should not be for the sole purpose of promoting a specific plugin, but rather teaching users the solution to a problem.

  • If you are mentioning your plugin as a possible solution to a problem, please include at least one alternative.

  • The length of the article should be around 400 words or more.

  • Images should be of high quality and shouldn’t include any personal information.

  • The post shouldn’t be published elsewhere.

  • You can have no more than 3 self-serving links: one to your personal social media in the bio, one to your plugin’s JetBrains Marketplace listing page, and one additional link of your choice.

  • If you are linking to your plugin, the link should lead to its listing on JetBrains Marketplace, not your site.

  • If you are providing a link to your plugin page, it should satisfy all the requirements listed in the Approval Guidelines as well as additional requirements for plugin page content listed here.
