I am always looking for new writers to expand the boundaries here at Cash Money Life. Additional writers help extend the conversation and add other viewpoints to this website, which is great for everyone!
Benefits of writing for Cash Money Life
Writing for Cash Money Life is a great opportunity to share your experience with a large readership and gain experience and feedback about your writing. If you are a blogger or writer, this is a great way to build your professional portfolio and/or drive traffic to your website.
Writing opportunities
I am interested in publishing articles by guest authors as well as adding a paid writing position or two for approximately one article per week. The paid articles would be on a freelance basis and would not indicate employment by Cash Money Life. Please contact me for more information including article requirements and payment details.
Guest post guidelines for Cash Money Life
Guest Posts do not receive payment but are a great way to gain experience and exposure for your website, or to build your portfolio. Please use these guidelines:
- Articles should be well-written, must be original, and should not have been previously published elsewhere.
- Articles should be related to personal finance, career, or small business topics. Please e-mail me with proposed topics if in doubt.
- Please include a short author bio with a link back to your website and RSS feed if applicable.
- Feel free to add a reasonable number of links back to your own web site within the content, but please do not use this as an opportunity to stuff the article full of keywords.
- I retain full editorial and approval rights, including removing and/or substituting links.
- No affiliate links.
- Feel free to send image recommendations with the article. Please only include images that allow for derivatives unless you own the image (Flicker is a great source of images that allow for derivatives under the Creative Commons License).
- Guest posts can be republished on your site after a minimum of 3 months have passed.
- Please send articles in html or in a Word document (html preferred).
If you are a writer and would like to submit an article for consideration, please send me a message via my contact form. I look forward to working with you!
What is the difference between the paid articles and guest articles? Ownership. Paid submissions become the property of this website; guest articles may be republished by the author after a minimum of 3 months has passed. Anyone can apply for either position at any time.

Thanks for the mention – I’m so copying this brilliant post!
Morning Ryan – Thnx for helping highlight the homelessness problem of our Veterans.
Do you mind if I apply as a guest writer and then you reject me? I think that’d be a lot of fun!
I’ve found my writing to be a little too controversial for some of you big guys. For example, one of my guest posts was accepted after the outline (i had already guest posted for them once), and then after I wrote the masterpiece, it got pulled. At least I got a $10 gift card! haha.
Actually, I’d love to just be a judge when you highlight the audition posts!
It’s great you allow guest publishers to repost on their site after 3 months. Is this standard rule? If so, I gotta go talk to one site!
I will consider all guest posts, but I’ve turned down a few based on content. Some publishers allow guest authors to repost after a certain time period, others may not. Just ask.
Cool, they just said I couldn’t repost it on my site….. but, who’s to prevent from stopping me, esp after I give it say, 6 months or so? I just may never get the op to guest post for them again.
It’s definitely your right to turn down guest posts based on content… what other reasons would there be frankly. I’m really impressed with others who can always guest post and give away their work freely. I’ve had a couple guests posts myself, and I promote and love them to no end.
Good luck in the hunt! I hope you get plenty of submissions!
The big reason people don’t want articles republished is because of duplicate content penalties in the search engines. Google and other search engines put more emphasis on original articles and exact duplicates can drag down rankings for each site that publishes the same article. So an option to avoid that is to write a similar article, but change it enough that the meaning is the same, but the words and content order are different enough that they wouldn’t be considered identical.
Ah, very interesting Ryan. Yeah, it’s all about the all powerful Google. I didn’t realize Google penalizes sites for reposts. Interesting!
I may just have to go talk to one of my buddies who is pretty senior at Google for lunch today and pick his brain. I’m also going to ask him if he can give me $150,000 so I can buy the Audi R8 V10!
Hey Ryan — thanks for the link and good luck with getting some writers. Good idea on the 3 month lag time.
You have nailed it with the guidelines, very well written. All the best. You know I am always ready to gust post for you
Thanks for mentioning my article, Ryan!
