Clients started the Cosmopolitans Blog site with a fairly simple goal: to be a central hub that helps writers make money writing. The site’s content focuses on helping writers find higher-paying jobs, pitch more effectively, hone their craft, and even become authors.

Why We Pay Writers for Guest Post

We believe that if a blog makes money for its owner, guest posters should be compensated. After this blog started generating revenue, the Client started paying for guest posts and still does today.

Rates within our guest posting guidelines

We currently charge $75-$150 for guest posts (higher rates are for longer, more detailed pieces written on commission only). We purchase all rights to your post and request that your post be original and not published elsewhere at the same time.

Some Steps to Guest Posting to Cosmopolitans Blog

Here are my guest posting guidelines:

1. Become a subscriber to this blog and read it for a while. Almost all of our successful guest posts come from regular readers.
2. Read and follow these guest posting guidelines. Seriously, you wouldn’t believe how many writers toss me who have clearly never read this page.
3. Submit your best headline idea AND an outline of your proposed guest post, in the body of your email.
4. Receiving an assignment does not guarantee publication. So don’t forget to write the heck out of it.
5. We purchase exclusive first publication and reprint rights. We reserve the right to reprint your article on other sites, and in future books or e-books that I create.
6. DO NOT SUBMIT PRE-WRITTEN ARTICLES without first securing an assignment. They will not be read or published.8. We prefer guest posts between 800 and 1,200 words (unless we assign you a specific idea from the list above to a longer length that we agree on).
7. Note that we do NOT compensate experts who wish to post a guest post prior to an appearance on one of my webinars or podcasts, or who post specifically to promote a paid book, course, or other product. If your guest post contains fresh and useful information for freelance writers, we may still be interested in publishing it, but do not pay in this situation.
8. On the day your post is posted, please reply to comments on my Facebook. Part of what we pay for is your help with the post’s engagement and social sharing. Payment may not be received if you are MIA on the day your post is published, so be sure to let us know if you are unavailable so we can reschedule your post.
