Crystal for Hire | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Hi everybody!  Just letting you all know that I am for hire.  Here's my current list of services:

Do you need a quality staff writer for your personal finance blog?

I’ve been staff writing weekly for Sweating the Big Stuff since July 2010 and joined the weekly staff at Stupid Cents and Passive Family Income in March 2011.   I would love to join your team too!

My rates vary based on post length, how often you will need me, and subject matter, but we can work out a fair price together.

Are you looking for a webmaster – someone to run your site for you so you can simply sit back and reap the rewards?

I would love to be your webmaster!  I would manage your posts including SEO, staff writers if you have any, advertiser requests, and your entire email inbox for a percentage of your site’s monthly profits.  Based on the amount of work your site will need, we can work out a customized deal.  Even if there is only one part of the duties you rather not handle, shoot an email my way!

Do you need a ghost writer – quality posts with no name attached?

I started ghost writing in January 2011.  If you need a great post but you’d like to attach your own name, ghost writing help may be for you.  My rates vary based on length and subject matter, and all of my customers have been happy with the results!

Do you want someone to walk you through the first steps of building a bigger blog?

I have grown Budgeting in the Fun Stuff to where it is now (Alexa 33,000, Moz 5, PR3, and more than $12,000 in revenue) from February 20, 2010 to March 31, 2011 and would love to walk you through the process!  Of course, my quick advice will still be completely free, but if you were looking for very thorough or time-consuming paid help as well, I’m your girl!

I do offer a 100% money back guarantee on all of my services.  Please email me at budgetingfunstuff *at* gmail *dot* com if you are ever interested.  :-)

tempting but until we get bigger w/ revenue we need to keep the lights on before hiring anyone! you'd top the list tho Crystal!

So, what, are we talking about 3 months?  ;-)

Crystal, my goal is to get big enough (and profitable enough) to hire you!

That's a great goal if I do say so myself, lol.  :-)  I'll try to help!

We'll see ;)

We need a PR in the worst way (as much as I disdain PR right now … ) It does help even when you have a great mozRank and Alexa rank and good reading numbers …

Yeah, I don't get PR.  It's so random….

This is something I'm definitely going to have to take into consideration.  You're one of the most engaging, fun, and upbeat bloggers I've ever had the pleasure of reading.  There really are no bad days at BITFS, all happy, all the time! :)

I am so glad my site gives off that positive feeling!!!  That is exactly what I aim for – a little oasis of happy.  :-)

I can vouch for Crystal; her guest posts have been of a high standard and she has always been very helpful when I've come to her for advice on negotiating with advertisers or other topics about blogging. I agree with Tom; if you're looking to hire some good help then you better not procrastinate! :)

Crystal this is great stuff congratulations.  Do you have a cloning machine?? How do you manage???? I hate you :)

If you could see the bags under my eyes…  :-)  I just know I'm working towards a career I will love.  That makes it easier to push myself every day!

Crystal; I'm planning on launching a new blog later this month – I might have to email you soon for your rates! :)

Please do!  :-)
