I welcome guest bloggers, but I am the world’s toughest editor. Please follow these guidelines carefully.
If you wish to write for TheMoneyGuy.co.uk, please submit a question only.
A query is a proposed headline and short (3 to 5 sentences) description of what you want to write. Bonus points if you include a few bullet-points with the specific advice your article would give.
WHAT I EXPECT:
- A query with an interesting headline and a few sentences describing what you want to write
- A couple examples of your writing — links to prior articles or blog sites are fine
- Perfect American English – grammar and spelling
- Simple word choices (big vocabularies do not impress me — please make it easy to read)
Get your typewriter out!
WHAT MAKES A GOOD POST?
All queries and posts must meet the following minimum requirements:
- Be about small business issues — corporate finance, accounting, operations or growth strategies only
- Teach specific ways to improve their business with “Actionable Advice” (c)
- Be accurate, specific and well-researched
- Have 2 to 7 links to other relevant sources inside or outside of my blog for SEO purposes — not just to promote your web site
- Have a brief bio about you or your work (including 1 additional link to your work), which will follow the post
- Be unique, original work with full rights to publish online (non-exclusive is fine)
- Minimum 400 words – maximum 1,100…somewhere in the middle is best
- Suggest or provide at least one royalty-free photo or graphic
- Be easy to read, concise, grammatically correct and simply presented. Long paragraphs are out. Use a reading level score if you are unsure. (Reading score at 7th grade is best.)

I DO NOT ACCEPT:

Please submit your query below. I’ll reply within 48 hours, letting you know if changes are needed. Even if I approve your query, I may not publish your post. I reserve the right to reject any post for any reason. If I do not publish it, I will let you know.
Thank you for your interest in writing for me — I look forward to reading your best work!
