Guest Posting Style Guide

I welcome guest posting here at It’s Frugal Being Green. Here are a few suggestions on what to write about and how to write it. If you are interested in submitting a guest post, please email me with a description of what you would be interested in writing or ideally a rough draft of your article. The more specific you can be in your proposal and the more you follow these guidelines, the more likely I’ll be interested and able to use your post.

Topics

Your guest post should fit at least one, if not more, of my topics: budgeting, cleaning, cooking, couponing, crafting, decorating, gardening, green, investing, meal planning, organizing, recycling, shopping, or traveling. Please make sure your post is applicable to everyone, not just those with babies/children.

Images

If you have an image you would like included with your guest post, please make sure you have the appropriate rights to use it (don’t just pull something off a google search). Email me the image and I will host it here.

Exclusivity

Any guest posts written for It’s Frugal Being Green should not be posted or submitted elsewhere, including your own blog. I do recommend that you do a post on your own blog that links back to your guest post on It’s Frugal Being Green and provides follow up information.

Byline

Bylines should be a sentence or two about who you are and what you do. You may include a link to your own blog in your byline. Bylines will be featured at the top of your guest post.

In post links need to be relevant. You can link to your own blog up to 3 times within your guest post as long as those links are highly relevant to the topic you are covering in your guest post.

Editing

I may edit your post as necessary to help it fit the It’s Frugal Being Green style.
