I welcome guest posts here on Life Optimizer. Guest posting gives the readers fresh perspectives beyond what I can provide. I also learn a lot from the guest posts.

Here are two reasons why you may want to write guest posts:

1. You will help people through your writing
   This is always a good thing. While you already help people through your blog, by writing here you can help even more people since you reach a new audience.
2. You will get exposure for your work
   There are more than 5000 subscribers here who will see your guest posts. Since your guest posts include links to your work (such as your blog), it means that your work will get exposure to thousands of people. This is not to mention potentially thousand others who come to your posts through social media sites or search engines.

Of course, there are some guidelines for the post. The post must be:

1. Original
   It can’t be a post that has been posted on your own blog or anywhere else before. In other words, it must be a new post.
2. At least 600 words long
   This is for the content part, not counting the title and bio.
3. At most 50 words bio
   You may include links to your work here. Please put the bio at the end of the post. I will write my introduction at the beginning.
4. No affiliate links

I reserve the right to edit the posts as needed (for example, to fix spelling or grammar errors) and to reject posts that I feel are not appropriate for this web site.

Feel free to tell me about your idea before you start writing. I don’t want to waste your time. Please send your submissions or ideas to donald (at) lifeoptimizer.org.
