Hey Everyone,

 

Since I have just started my blog recently, I got my first email using the contact form that I installed (yay!).  The only thing is that I am suspicious that it is a spam. The person is requesting to guest post on my site (not exactly sure why – since I just started with relatively few readers compared to others). I was going to reply to this person, but thought I would ask you all first to see if you think this is spam and I should avoid replying.  Here's the email:

Hi,

I am Rebecca , I am a financial blogger & webmaster of few financial
websites. I came across to your 20sfinances.com while browsing through
Google. I have to admit that your blog is very informative & welll
developed … congrats :)

I was thinking that if you allow me , I would like to send you a good
article as a guest author for posting .

As I said before I am also maintaining some debt, credit , loan &
other quality finance sites, I have good experience about quality
content writing for websites & blogs.

I can't pay you anything for the contribution….but if you like you
can also contribute content in my sites…by this way your blog will
also get a good exposure :)

I would like to send you one good quality article for your blog , the
article will be fully original & at least 500+ words. So, please let
me know your thoughts about it .

I hope we can make a good relationship together through this deal :)

Waiting for your quick response

Kindest regards

Rebecca

this is not spam, keep in mind not to take any article contribution with external links to a non blog webpage without money.

Important to understand difference between a guest post and sponsored post..go ahead, congrats!

Agreed, not spam although you would need to try to negotiate a fee if they want external links in the post.
