Hey guys,
This week is turning out to be crazy with my family being sick and with both of us transitioning back to full time work for the first time since we've had our baby. I could really use some help with a few guest posts for this week and maybe next week as well to help get me through. Here is a little bit more information for you to consider.
HowToSaveMoney.ca has never had a guest poster to date, so you could be the very first! These past 5+ days the site has had traffic exeeding 300 visits per day, with one day as high as 800. A normal traffic day would be about 200 visitors. There is currently about 150+ subscribers via email and RSS. Hopefully the post will generate a decent amount of traffic for you and a nice backlink. My audience is also fairly uninitiated to personal finace so you have the chance to grab readers who may take to your blog as one of their primary personal finance resources.
Posts can be on pretty much any topic personal finance related or about saving money. I would also consider special interest topics or compelling personal stories if that is what you prefer. I'm hoping for decent quality but the posts don't have to be nearly as long as my normal posts – so don't let that scare you. I have a sparse posting schedule so your post will remain visible for a good long time.
If you need me to return the favour sometime in the future, I will try my best to do so.

I'll gladly help. Give me a day or so to get something together and then you can decide if you want to use it. I'll also poke around your site a little to make sure I don't duplicate content.

That sounds great guys. Just drop me an email at:
SavingMentor | howtosavemoney | ca
with whatever you come up with. I'll let you know when I decide to run it. I'd also appreciate it if you'd include a short bio and a link to your site at the top to give yourself credit how you want it. If you don't include something then I will write something up myself.
Thanks a lot both of you!

I could submit a guest post. Do you have any particular topics in mind? Please let me know and I think I could submit a guest post by this weekend.

Yup, I check it regularly … any chance you sent it to the wrong address? I know we've communicated via email before … so I have no idea what would have happened there. I already checked and I didn't see anything from you, but I will triple check.

Ok, so it turns out that you helped me make an important discovery. It turns out that I had a rogue email filter turned on that was causing a good portion of my email to skip the inbox and be archived directly completely out of site with no visual indicator whatsoever that I had new email. I had missed at least 6-7 emails that I had no idea about, so thank you VERY much for letting me know you sent an email or else I wouldn't have discovered it anytime soon!

Really anything is fine. I would say write to your strengths, whatever you think those are. If you are writing about what you are passionate about and interested in then I know the article will be top notch which is the best thing for everybody!
I really haven't covered anything on my site about personal finance other than saving money on purchases – so it's wide open fresh canvas for you!

Thanks everyone for the offers to contribute. It looks like I will have a few posts lined up now as long as everyone that offered comes through. That's great, because I don't think my schedule is going to get any less hectic anytime soon. If I get a few extra posts, then I will probably space them over the next few weeks so I can hopefully build up a buffer of my own content.
You guys are fantastic!

You're welcome. We've emailed enough I was confident I had the right address. (btw, we're buying our home entertainment PC tmrw! thanks!)
As discussed, i'll get something put together for you.
Now I just need to write something for our site already … ugh.

Just wanted to let you know I sent you an email with my submission. If for some reason you don't get it, let me know!
