Be a Guest Blogger
I welcome guest bloggers, but I do not accept promotional posts that sell or link to a single company for PR purposes.
If you wish to write for Rock Solid Finance, please submit a QUERIE only. A querie is a proposed headline and short (3 to 5 sentences) description of what you want to write.
I DO NOT ACCEPT:
- Anything about marketing, blogging, advertising or branding
- Full length, unsolicited articles… just send a querie please
- Self promotion or PR
- Anything that is poorly written, contains gramar mistakes, misspellings, or mistakes of fact
If your querie and article are accepted and published, I offer either $50 or up to 2 backlinks.
Whether you want a traditional guest post or a paid spot, your post 
must meet my editorial guidelines for both content and style. I will not post sloppy or poorly written content. Blog posts must address the following minimum requirements:
- Be about small business issues — corporate finance, fundraising, and growth strategies are best. Send me just the idea first, please.
- Teach people specific ways to “Make, Measure and Monitor” the money in their business
- Have 3 to 7 links to other relevant sources inside or outside of my blog. This is for SEO purposes — not to promote your other sites.
- Have a brief bio about you or your work. You may include 1 additional link in this paragraph, which will follow the post.
- Be unique, original work with full rights to publish online (non-exclusive is fine)
- Minimum 400 words. Maximum 750. Somewhere in the middle is best.
- Suggest or provide at least one royalty-free photoor graphicAND FINALLY, BUT MOST IMPORTANT:
- 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.)
Please submit as a Word or Text file by email, or copy into the Contact Me form. I’ll reply within 48 hours, letting you know if changes are needed. 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 If I do not publish it, I will let you know.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 submissions — I look forward to reading your best work!

I hope you are still accepting contributions by guest writers. Wanted to ask whether one can write about marketing & advertising one’s business effectively to increase the growth and to establish the image of what the business is offering in the minds of its target consumers? Is such a contribution acceptable? Can other marketing & advertising related articles acceptable?
Haroon: Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, I do not accept any marketing, advertising, social media or blogging articles. There are a lot of blogs about marketing; mine is solely about finance and “operational” strategies.
