Get Paid To Write Online welcomes previously unpublished, original guest posts. General guidelines are as follows:
Get Paid To Write Online welcomes guests - write for us.
1. Search the blog to make sure that the topic you write about matches one of the categories on the blog and has not previously been covered in the way you intend to handle it. I am also open to new categories, but please check with me first.
2. Contact me to discuss your post idea – I’m open to any reasonable suggestion. I welcome posts from both new and experienced writers. You don’t need a CV or a long list of previous blogging credits to be considered.
3. Your post should be between 400 and 600 words; if you want to write a longer post, then maybe we’ll break it into two.
4. Please provide a link to an appropriate image (creative commons or public domain, please).
5. I do not pay for guest posts, but you will get credit for your work. Add a two sentence bio with one link at the end of the post. (Note: I know some people don’t want to write for free. if this is you, then maybe we can exchange guest posts.)
6. Proofread the post to avoid spelling and grammatical errors; I’ll do that too.
7. Submit the post (if you have followed step 2 you will have my email address).
8. I’ve accepted most of the guest posts submitted in the past couple of years, but I have final editorial control; expressing an interest in seeing your post does not imply a guarantee to publish it.
9. Please disclose if you have a material interest in the subject of the post.
10. If your post is published, please reply to any comments left on the post. You can promote it via social media if you want, too, though I’ll do that anyway.

Can’t wait to see your idea, Brooke.
While my guest post topic is a little self-centric, it should also be very helpful for your audience. I’d like to write a tutorial on what to look for and avoid when searching for writing jobs on craigslist. I go through all the job sites everyday and post the top ten jobs. Would like to be able to put in a little blurb that they can visit my site to see the top ten each day…let me know your thoughts!
Thanks,
Killer
Sharon hello, it’s amazing.. i’m always finding new and interesting things to read about whenever I stop by here!
