So I feel like giving myself a challenge, and I want to experiment to see how fast I can grow this blog if I get it a big ol injection of guest posts (aka blogging steroids), so I’ve decided to give myself the goal of 60 guest posts this month.
It’s not going to be easy. March is actually a pretty busy month for me as I get ready to show you guys the Waikiki site , begin working on another super secret project (maybe I’ll tell you in the future if you’re lucky 
), start my new job, and I’m having two of my buddies come visit me for a week.
60 guest posts, at least 30 posts on Planting Dollars, and over a hundred pages of content on the Waikiki site will mean that in March I plan on essentially writing a novel. An average novel is anywhere from 80,000 – 100,000 words to give you an idea of the goal.
I Need Your help!
Although I have a pretty good idea of some of the sites I’d like to guest post on, I still need to find more! I have some criteria I’m looking for and if you see a blog that fits it please let me know!
What I’m looking for
- Blogs that rank at least 500k on Alexa.
- Blogs that pertain to the 5 core concepts of the site or blogging in general.
- Blogs that accept guest posts.
If you know of any blogs that fit the list above, or if your blog fits the criteria shoot me a comment below. This should be a fun, yet exhausting experience, but I’m excited to see how it affects Planting Dollars.
I’ll create an icon for this series on the left column with the other ongoing series and track the guest posts as they go live.
Do you know of any blogs I can guest post on?
Can I guest post on your blog?

Ryan,
It would be an honour to have you write a guest post for my blog. It’s ranking about 350K at the moment with Alexa. If it’s okay with you I’ll return the favour and write one for you!

I would just absolutely love it if you would do a guest post for my site. Weblogbetter has an Alexa ranking of 92,020 and Google 4/10. My followers would get a kick out of your super-engaging writing style. It’s the general “Blogging” niche, as you’ve probably already figured out, and I know you’d ad tremendous value.
What say you? Pick me! Pick me! (hand waving, jumping up & down in seat – yeah, I used to be that annoying kid)

Hey Ann,
Thanks, I hadn’t heard of your site until you just mentioned it. I signed up and will be starting a thread soon. Great idea B.T.W.

Ryan, now that’s a might challenge. You’re always welcome to guest post on my blog, but do you mean regular rank of 500k or within US?
Mine’s nowhere where I’d like it to be, but here are the stats:
681,361
Alexa Traffic Rank
102,091
Traffic Rank in US
*Cough cough*
Like you, I’m trying to guest post. I should have something for you over the weekend.
Good luck!

You are always reaching above and beyond – like that you’re pushing yourself to SMART goals.
Since we’ve been carrying on side conversations and I have a lot of respect for your ideas, it would be great to have you as a guest post on my own site.
Could you break up the goal to alleviate some pressure on you by accepting guest posts as well? Not sure the data difference on traffic, but that could allow you to focus more on the site.

Yea, I’m more than happy to accept guest posts if someone wants to write on the site. Either way it’ll be a big challenge, but I respond better to big challenges than little ones I’ve learned.
I encourage guest posts via this post:

I’m not in the 500,000 crowd yet, but I gained 60,000 yesterday and I’m expecting to be under 5 by March. I’d love to have you at my site. I think you fit my audience perfectly.

Wow! That’s quite a goal. But, I’m sure you’ll achieve it. I finally broke out into the 400K range, so if you’d like to guest post (again – sort of if you count the interview), I’m all for it.
Let me know and good luck to you this month!
P.S. Don’t type so fast that you develop Carpal Tunnel!

Wow, THIRTY guest posts over the next month? That’s incredible along with 30 posts on your own site.
Best of luck in your endeavors! Your “Failing Forward” guest post on Financial Samurai was excellent. Definitely hit up the Yakezie group. I know several folks would be happy to have you, including free from broke, eliminate the muda, and others.
You’re welcome to stop by my site as well.

It’s funny… I was so gung ho about guesting posting elsewhere until Wise Bread rejected my “How To Get Your Super Motivated Boyfriend To Marry You” post after initially accepting the outline, as well as my first guest post.
Ever since then, I’ve shied away. Maybe one day!
