Blogging Guidelines

FatWallet is Looking for Blog Writers!

We’re revamping our blogging program and are looking for experts to write for us in 2013. In a nutshell, we want to promote you and make you money! Interested? Read on to see if you’re a good fit!

Here are some qualities we’re looking for in writers:

• Do you have an understanding of and passion for frugality, shopping, deal-hunting, couponing, technology, travel, personal finance, family, health & beauty, home decor, DIY, and/or fashion?

• Do you keep up with the latest buzz in tech and finance and have a fun but simple way of teaching it to those of us who use it, but don’t necessarily get how it works or what to look for when buying gadgets?

• Do you have a reputation for being the go-to person on a topic. Do people always ask you for advice in a certain niche?

If you answer yes to these questions above, you could make a great blogger for FatWallet! As a writer we’ll start off asking you to write a few posts as a trial to see how it goes. If things work out well, we’ll consider a more permanent relationship.

Here’s how to apply: Please fill out the guest blogger application (survey) below. We’re open to bloggers from anywhere, but please keep in mind your content must be geared towards a US audience and written in US English. Please be patient with us. We get a lot of submissions. We will read all of them and consider each submission carefully.
