Think I am going to change my guest post policy


What do you think?


Maybe I'm just too nice, but I get a lot of guest-post requests and hate to say no.  Lately, I have been trying to give guidance to make sure the posts are something that I want to read, and really only 1 in 4 are.

I tell people I prefer guest posts from people who have homeschooled and so they all say they have, but the posts don't read that way to me.

Anyway, from now on, I will only take guest posts from individuals... not companies.

That means that if typical mommy blogger wants to guest post (which they never seem to want to) then I am all for it.  If XYZ semi-commerical, college list, nanny site wants to guest post, the answer is no.

Before I push the button and make this official, I would love some feedback on the guest posts on my site.

Thanks.

Yep! You've been too nice!

Have you considered posting some of your youtube videos and/or making new ones? :)

Now that I have a new computer I might. The old one caused buzzing in the videos.

Guest policy changed. Only accepted from homeschoolers and their parents. If you want an ad, you have to pay for it.

LOL - I somehow ended up in the same boat with my homeschool blog and was considering the same decision - all commercial applicants for guest posts and mostly a waste of time to read.

I think I'll follow you and push the same button :-)
