Yes! We accept bylined "how to" articles and opinion pieces for our website and financial matters blog, ReallyBadCreditOffers.com.

1. Contribute bylined "how to" articles for ReallyBadCreditOffers.com

Bylined articles (800-1,000 words or so of body text) written from an objective viewpoint and conveying valuable how-to content (practical advice for people, actionable tips, and useful know-how) in a fresh, approachable voice are more likely to meet Really Bad Credit Offers standards—and therefore more likely to be accepted for publication. See, as examples, the following three article topics:

[EXAMPLE] 13 'Old-School' Financial Myths Debunked That Can Take Your Credit Score From Wimpy to Wow
[EXAMPLE] A Simple Way To Bullet-Proof Your Family Finances From Unnecessary Disasters
[EXAMPLE] 10 Shocking Mistakes Killing Your Credit Score Most Young People Blindly Make

We will inform you if your article has been accepted for publication; expect to hear from us within a week or so of our having received your email. If we choose not to accept your article, you may or may not hear from us, depending on how crowded our inbox is.

Articles accepted for publication will be edited for clarity and brevity and to conform to the Really Bad Credit Offers style. We will likely change your title, too, so you might want to suggest some alternatives.

So, if you are interested in joining the many Really Bad Credit Offers expert contributors of how-to, financial strategies, and financial freedom articles—on a one-time or a regular basis—here are some guidelines:

• Articles must be original to the author and unpublished elsewhere.
• Articles must offer readers clear advice, takeaways, and practical how-to tips about a specific topic or approach to the personal finance in their everyday lives. Bullet points are good. Meandering jibbering text is not.
• At the beginning of your article, list two or three bullet points summarizing its key takeaways—the lessons learned and the how-tos contained in the article. They will be published along with the article.
• Include a brief bio of 25 words, including LinkedIn and Twitter contact info, if available, and a recent headshot (make sure your entire head is in the picture).
• Include relevant links in parentheses, next to the words to be linked (i.e., do not embed the links).
• Submit articles in Word format (no PDF files, please), as email attachments.
• If you submit an article that mentions businesses or companies in which you have a vested interest, disclose as much to the audience.
• The author retains copyright, but Really Bad Credit Offers may reprint your piece, with full attribution, in Really Bad Credit Offers products, including marketing materials.
• We do not pay guest contributors for their occasional articles.
• We do not publish press releases (but do take a look at the "Share Your Research Findings" section, below).

3. Write an opinion piece for ReallyBadCreditOffers.com

In contrast to ReallyBadCreditOffers bylined articles, which focus on transmitting how-to lessons and success know-how, opinion pieces simply share opinions, voice an argument, or discuss legal news or current events—much like the op/ed pages of a newspaper.

For all intents and purposes, the administrative guidelines for byline submissions to ReallyBadCreditOffers apply to contributed opinion pieces as well (but don't worry about listing the two-or three key takeaways in bullet form, and note that the publication queue isn't as long).

Submit posts for our Industry Opinions section by emailing Editor Tanya Mironova here: writers (at) arielonlineinc.com including "Opinion piece contribution" in the subject line.
