Guest post Guidelines
We welcome guest posts from individuals who bring valuable perspectives and relevant expertise to our audience. If you’d like to submit your work for consideration, please review the guidelines provided below:
Relevant
All guest posts must be relevant to our audience. Frugal to FI writes for individuals who started their Financial Independence (FI) journey late in life and looking to retire strong; individuals that are closer to retirement age than not.
Our audience is interested in frugality, personal finance, saving money, investing, and financial independence. Building a intentional financial journey that still allows the good life while saving and investing for the retirement years.
All content MUST BE ORIGINAL
We do not accept AI-assisted, duplicate, syndicated, or plagiarized content as guest posts.
We cannot consider content for publication as a ‘guest post’ if it has been previously published elsewhere online. While we do syndicate select popular posts, these syndicated pieces are not categorized as guest contributions.
We also do not accept repeating a topic that’s already been well covered on this site.
Please ensure that all images are either original or sourced from a reputable royalty-free platform (i.e., not Google Images).
No advertisement
We don’t publish ‘sponsored posts,’ defined as content solely aimed at advertising or including links primarily for promotional purposes.
Guest posts should not include any paid links.
At least 1,250 words
The post needs to be a minimum of 1,250 words with a maximum of 3,000 words.
Easy to read
We favor concise paragraphs to enhance readability. Utilize headings, subheadings, bullet points, and other visual aids to segment the text effectively.
Well written and entertaining
We seek content that both inspires and entertains our audience, allowing your personality and humor to shine through. We encourage a conversational writing style, and recommend familiarizing yourself with our content and tone for guidance.
Additionally, ensure that your guest posts are free from grammatical errors and profanity.
Link to your sources
Please provide an external link back to the original source for any statistics or quotes borrowed from other content.
Talk about your perspectives and experiences
We encourage all publishers to discuss real-life experiences and personal stories in their posts. Talk about your household tips, frugality, financial wins or money hardships to demonstrate authority in your space.
