Before You Pitch
SpendFlow publishes practical personal finance articles, not generic money content. We prefer clear examples, first-hand insight, simple calculations, and source-backed claims that help readers take action.
Read our editorial standard first
Guest articles follow the same accuracy, disclosure, and correction rules as SpendFlow articles. Please review the Editorial Policy before sending a pitch.
Topics We Accept
We are selective about content depth. We look for detailed, actionable, and experience-backed articles on these core topics:
- Smart Budgeting Systems: Detailed guides on zero-based budgeting, cash envelope systems (digital/cash), irregular income tracking, and family budgeting templates.
- Creative Money Saving Hacks: Everyday frugal living tips, reducing utility bills, smart shopping strategies, and setting up achievable savings challenges.
- Credit and Modern Banking: How to choose the best high-yield savings accounts, travel reward points strategies, and smart credit management to avoid debt.
- Personal Financial Journeys: Inspiring case studies, debt payoff stories, side-hustle growth reports, and building a financial safety net from scratch.
Quality Standards
To keep our content useful and trustworthy, every guest draft must meet these standards:
- 100% Originality: We do not publish plagiarized, syndicated, rewritten, or AI-generated filler articles. Your draft must be original, containing unique analysis or personal perspectives.
- Depth and Word Count: We prefer detailed resources. Articles should usually be at least 1,000 words and cover the selected topic with real-world examples.
- Premium Formatting: Break up long text. Use clear subheadings (H3/H4), short readable paragraphs (3-4 sentences max), bullet points, and highlight sections where appropriate.
- Accuracy and Citations: Back up your claims, tax rules, and interest rates with links to official sources (like government tax portals, banking rules, or official reports).
- Author Credit: Approved independent guest posts can be published under the contributor's name, with a short title or bio when appropriate.
- No Over-Promotion: A relevant author, source, or portfolio link may be included when it fits naturally. Spammy links, affiliate codes, and paid link packages are removed or labeled under our commercial disclosure rules.
Sponsored clarity: If a guest submission is paid, brand-led, or written for a commercial campaign, the published article will show a Sponsored or Advertiser Content label. For example, see our Fund Logic sponsored article.
Submission Process
We work systematically with external authors. Here is how you can submit your article:
Step 1: Pitch Your Idea: Send us 2-3 topic ideas along with a brief bulleted outline explaining why this article will be useful to SpendFlow readers. Include links to your past published articles.
Step 2: Write the Draft: Once we approve your pitch, you can share a link to a Google Doc containing your written draft, including images (with proper attribution) and your short author bio.
Step 3: Review and Revision: Our editors will review your draft for clarity, SEO value, and accuracy. We may request revisions or suggest structural changes before publication.
Commercial placements: If your request is mainly sponsored content, brand promotion, or advertising, use the Advertise on SpendFlow page instead.
