  1. Hello,

    My name is Camille and I stumbled upon managementhelp.org/ while doing some research on computer networking and Cisco training, and wound up checking out the content on the site for hours. Needless to say, I really enjoyed the site and its offerings. Thank you for providing such a great resource!

    I’m a tech journalist looking to gain more exposure for my work. Currently, I focus mostly on tech, Cisco training and computer repair-related subjects and also have brief experience working in IT.

    I’m fairly new to writing on these subjects, but I still have a vast knowledge on the subject and would love to interact with your community.

    You can get a sense for my writing style here: https://camillemcclane.jux.com/

    I just finished designing this new infographic focused on IT careers that may be of interest.

    You can view it here:

    If you happen to like it and wish to publish, just let me know and I’ll write up a custom introduction for it that will further illustrate several key points which will be completely unique to you site.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    Best wishes,
    Camille McClane

    1. Camille, Thanks for your comment. I believe I may have already responded to you and if I did not I apologize.

      I’m always looking for guest writers. all that The Free Management Library asks is that you not promote a single product. You can make lists of similar products of the one you present. As long as you are talking generically on a subject related to training, not problem. We will introduce you and provide your links. We only ask that you link back.

      Simply provide me copy via e-mail with media if you have it and I’ll take it from there. I won’t comment on your work except to introduce you. Unfortunately the byline at the top stays mine. I always try to make sure the readers know it isn’t me.

      Thanks.

      Jack
