For the last several months, the posting schedule on this blog has been:
- Post each day Monday-Thursday
- Roundup Friday
Starting this week, I’ll be trying something new: The total number of posts I write will be the same, but two of them will be offered to other blogs as guest posts. The end result will be this schedule:
- Post Monday
- Post Wednesday
- Roundup Friday
In each week’s roundup post, I’ll link to the guest posts that were published at other blogs. This will average out to 2 per week, but guest posts frequently aren’t published immediately upon submission, so many weeks may include 1 or 3.

Mike,
Sounds like a reasonable schedule- if a guest post comes online before friday you may want to make a link to it on tuesday or thursday.

Hi Rick.
I’d pondered that, but I’m not sure how good of an idea it would be for 3/5 of the content on this site to be just links to content elsewhere. Seems like it would be helpful for subscribers, but a pain for new visitors (not to mention poor for search engines).
Feel free to send a guest post my way anytime!
Thank you for the invite, Kyle.
You could tweet your guest posts.
Firstly, a cunning strategy for spreading the Oblivious Investor message to new corners.
Secondly, what is the secret of your concise posting? Are you the great Nephew of Ernest Hemmingway? I’d have waffled on for 1,000 words on the pros and cons.
Thirdly, have you considered a multi-post strategy? Say Tuesday is part 1 on site X, Thursday is part 2 on site Y, and part 3 is on your own site on Friday? Theoretically spreads the love, and takes advantage of your aggressive guest posting.
Fourthly, I’m sure most of my regulars have got the message and visited you by now, but I’d love to host a guest post anyway if you’re up for it!
Where will you be guest posting? I’d like to visit those blogs as well.

Hi Michael.
The plan is to mix it up in terms of where I guest post. That’s a big part of why I’m going to make a point of linking to the posts in my weekly roundups.
