If you have an unpublished idea that would fit in with the focus of This Simple Home, please email thissimplemom{AT}gmail{DOT}com to tell me your post idea or your completed submission for consideration.
The completed posts will ideally be
- Organized with an introduction, the "meat" of the post, and a conclusion.
- 200-700 words (flexible-especially for recipes).
- Not published elsewhere (and will not be published in the future). This needs to be exclusive work.
- Quality, original writing. (If this is a recipe, be sure the directions are in your own words.)
- Include one or more pinnable photos or images of your own. (Talk to me about this if you are unsure or do not have an image.)
- A 2-3 sentences bio with links to your blog and up to three social media links, if desired.
- Post about it on your blog, if applicable with a link to this site.
- You are welcome to include relevant links from your blog in the post, but limit yourself so it does not look spammy. I won't publish a spammy post.
After the post is published, please share about the post on your blog and social media, if applicable, and I will do the same.
Post topics include, but are not limited to
- Crafts
- Recipes
- Organizing/Cleaning
- Homemaking
- Parenting

Great idea Annette! Can't wait to see what your readers come up with! :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Lots of friends and family would never want their own blog, so this is a fun way to let them blog or to drive traffic to their own site.
DeleteI love how you are specific in your needs so that everything is spelled out! I can't tell you how many times I've gotten a request from someone to do a guest post on my blog and all their doing is copying and pasting it over and over on different blogs. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine! I am open to a lot, but also don't want to sell out, so I wanted to make sure I was clear in my expectations.
DeleteGreat idea! I have been really thinking about having guest on my blog too.
ReplyDeleteLouida, I think it will be fun!
DeleteI also like how you have your expectations laid out. I haven't gotten in to any guest blogging or accepting any yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cari. I feel like my writing time is limited these days, so hopefully it will work out!
DeleteGood luck buddy! I know guest posts are awesome for both sides!!
ReplyDeleteAren't they though? I've done a few in the past for other blogs and always enjoyed it.
DeleteWhat a great idea... I love that you have given clear details of what you want and don't want. I have guest posted for other blogs and always worried that I am not doing it right... I just may have to come up with an idea for a post but will want to look around more here to make sure I will fit in.. I will let you know.
ReplyDeleteOh! Thanks for the opportunity. I hope to contact you soon. :)
