LIFESTYLE

*We also accept submissions in Bahasa Malaysia.
To avoid redundancy or repetition of topics, we will recommend that you browse through our 3 channels first – Guides, Lifestyle & News. However, follow up articles on a covered topic are always welcomed.
You may also refer to these sites to get inspiration for content ideas:
- Google trends – Take a look at the trending topics (that are related to the type of articles we published) and see if anything pique your interest.
- Lowyat forum – There are a number of threads on the topic of real estate and property. Find out what people are asking or sharing in the forum.
- Facebook – Browse through our Facebook page to get a gauge of our audience and their interest.
Will I get paid?
Yes, you will! For contributors writing for us for the first time, we’ll offer a starter fee. Aside from that, you will also get your own author profile and byline.
*Do note that the contributor fee only applies for original content and does not include repurposed content or contribution of content which have been published on another site/blog.
What are the guidelines to follow for article submission?
You may submit a rough draft, a partial draft, or a short pitch (a paragraph or two summarizing your ideas and why it matters to our readers) paired with an outline. The more complete your submission is, the better feedback we can give you. We prefer submissions as Google documents or Microsoft Word so that we can easily provide feedback and guidance directly within your draft.
Here are some guidelines to follow:
- ORIGINAL CONTENT: We only accept original content—we do not publish anything that’s been published elsewhere (including on your blog or website).
- OUTLINE: Provide an outline of the content and write a brief description of it.
- PICK A TOPIC: Kindly go through our articles and come up with two original content ideas before you pitch your submission.
- WORD LIMIT: We publish articles of anywhere between 800–2,000 words, depending on the complexity of the subject.
If everything goes well, we’ll schedule your article for publication as soon as revisions are complete. Once the article is published, we’ll send the article link to you.
We look forward to hearing from you!
