JD Roth on Keys To Publishing a Book, Guest Post Criteria for A-list Blogs, and Monetizing in a Way that Benefits Your Readers

JD Roth from GetRichslowly.org runs arguably one of the most popular personal finance blogs on the web. I had him take me for a walk down the path that ultimately lead him to where he’s at today and here’s a few of the highlights: 

• How he Started his First Web Journal in the Late 90’s
• How One Post titled Get Rich Slowly on a personal site led to the formation of GetRichslowly.org
• Why you need to Assume Nobody and Everybody is reading your Blog
• The Guest Post Criteria that JD and Other A-List Bloggers Look For
• Finding Sites outside of your Niche that Your Content Aligns With
• How to approach A-lister bloggers about linking to a post you have written
• The Key Things That Publishers Look For When it Comes to Getting a Book Deal
• Monetization Methods that Are Beneficial To Your Readers
• The Importance of Transparency on Your Blog

J.D. Roth is an accidental personal-finance expert–a regular guy who found himself deep in debt. After deciding to turn his life around, he read everything he could about money and finance. In 2006, he started the award-winning website Get Rich Slowly, which Money Magazine named the Web’s most inspiring personal-finance blog.
