What type of posts are you looking for? ​
​
Our goal at Simplify is to help people discover simple solutions to making the most out of their budgets, belonging, & homes.
​
Here’s more information about the type of content that’s suited for Simplify:
-
Tips, advice, articles, themed round-ups focused on living a minimalist lifestyle through budgeting, decluttering, saving money, and/or saving space.
-
No step by step DIY tutorials, unless it is a DIY tutorial related to alternative living (campers, RVs, tiny houses, etc.).
-
No posts that have already been shared on Hometalk, Foodtalk, or Upstyle.
What are the quality guidelines in order to qualify for the Blogger Traffic Program?​
​1. Posts must focus on saving money, saving space, frugal living, minimalism, or alternative living spaces.
2. No step by step DIY tutorials, unless it is a tutorial related to DIYing an alternative living solution such as campers, RVs, tiny houses, etc.
3. Posts must be well-written, clear and easy to follow.
4. Posts must include at least 180 words.
5. Posts must include at least 1 image (this may include a stock image). However, if you are posting a step by step alternative living solutions such as a camper, we require a minimum of 4 separate images that include in process photos.
6. Posts must be original and cannot be copies of other people's original content with links to the original posts.
​
When in doubt, ask yourself these questions:
1. Does the context of the post focus on supporting a budget minded or frugal living lifestyle?
2. Is the focus related to ideas for small living, minimalistic living, and/or saving space?
Here’s a great example of a quality, engaging Hometalk post by Jenn of The Everyday Farmhouse.
