Our expert ranks are growing all the time. We’re always looking for new voices with unique expertise and perspectives.

We cover a wide range of topics, basically anything that could affect consumers’ financial health. We often interview experts about their specific research or unique areas of expertise. Our experts also share their perspective on broader financial, economic, and policy topics. We welcome contributions as narrow or broad as our experts feel comfortable sharing.

Like with any journalistic outlet, we tap into experts to provide insights, analysis, and perspective that help explain important issues or trends. We aim to empower consumers to make sound financial decisions, and to improve their understanding of the economic trends. Our experts help readers make sense of complex financial and economic issues.

We simply want your perspective on the topics we cover. One of our writers will connect with you to ask you specific questions for a specific article. We’ll ask you to complete a simple bio form so our readers can see your affiliation, a brief bio, any awards or honors you’ve earned, your social media handles and website, and a headshot.

We’re dedicated to helping empower consumers to make educated financial decisions. We offer explanations that go deep enough to educate people but at a level that makes it easy for consumers to understand. We offer step-by-step instructions, checklists, and guides to the trickiest and most important financial decisions consumers face. We bring experts to a consumer audience to help people figure out what’s best for their financial lives.

At MoneyGeek, we put the news into context for consumers so they can make sound financial decisions. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve dedicated our resources to helping consumers navigate these historically challenging times. See our COVID-19 resources and analyses here.

We partner with multiple syndication channels to help distribute our great content. MSN, MoneyWise, and other newspapers often run our articles.

We work with advertisers who offer financial services. Advertisers pay for inclusion on our site, which we disclose on every page. Our partners may influence how and where products appear on our site, but we ensure their services align with our main goal: providing consumers with a wide variety of thoroughly researched resources. As always, our aim is to empower consumers to make informed financial decisions.

We’re glad you asked. You can start by letting us know your area/s of expertise via this expertise form. When we tap into your expertise and get ready to publish your comments, we’ll ask you to fill out a simple bio form in order to source you correctly.
