Contributor Guidelines

LXP is an inspirational source for anyone who wants to achieve personal growth as well as a community of inspiring writers (in life coaching/personal development) interested in sharing their stories, tips, and tricks with the world. 

The LXP Media contributor community is the life and blood of our site. As a community member, we ask you to help us create and share inspiring stories and insights on a regular basis.

You are encouraged to submit new content often. Our editorial team has the task of sorting through these submissions and selecting the best of the best to publish each month. Only posts that meet our content guidelines will be considered for publication.

Contributors that publish regularly and have great reviews and engagements from our readers will have the opportunity to join our influencer program.

As a community, we strive to create inspiring content every day.

General Content Guidelines

  • RELEVANT CONTENT ONLY
    Make sure everything you submit is timely and relevant to our audience. Your content must be related to “inspired living” and “personal development” practices that are relevant today. We cover three core topics: inspiring stories, inspiring music, inspiring videos, and all trending topics in the personal development world.

  • SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT:
    Your article must be authored by you. Plagiarism is not tolerated. (Do not submit an article written by anyone other than yourself under your profile name.) If you are sharing someone else’s infographic, please write your own intro and give the author/creator of the piece a proper and due credit.

  • EDIT YOUR WORK: 
    Your article should be thoroughly copyedited for grammar, spelling, and usage. While the substance of our content may be global, the preferred standard for grammar/spelling is American English. We reserve the right to edit titles for clarity, style, or SEO purposes, and we may also make minimal edits to the body of your post for brevity or clarity. If you have smart ideas but share something that is not edited, most likely our team will not have the time to edit and will pass on this piece. So, please consider this in your thought-process while creating your content.

  • NO SALES PITCHES: 
    We do not accept content that is promotional or commercial in nature. You’re welcome to add in links that are relevant to the article, but we do not post sales content.

  • NO SPAM: 
    No drop links or spammy links. We do accept (and highly encourage) high-quality and relevant links, but any links that aren’t informational in nature will be removed without notice.

  • EXPLAIN YOUR IDEAS: 
    We don’t want any vague content that doesn’t really add value to our audience. Make sure to give as many examples and explanations as you can to make the article juicy and beneficial to the reader.

LXP Media reserves the right to distribute accepted content via other LXP Media products, services and partnerships.

How to Contribute

Go to the Submit a Story page. Fill out the form.

  • Title: Your article title.
  • Teaser: A brief description of the post. (1-2 sentences.)
  • Body: Copy and paste your entire article (images included) here.

Review everything and make sure you’ve met all of our guidelines. Once you hit submit on your post, you can no longer edit and it immediately enters our moderation queue and is liable to be published, so please be sure to fill in only the final version of your post — no drafts.

When you’re ready, hit Submit. You should see a page pop up that says “Thanks for submitting a post!” — if you get here, your content has been successfully submitted!

If you have issues at all, please email our community management: info@lifexpe.com

Tips for Contributor Success

Here are some tips that will help increase the likelihood of your work being published:

  • Original, exclusive content will always be valued higher than republished pieces.
  • Content that offers actionable insights (ideally with real-world examples) to help people learn and grow through experience.
  • Sharing your unique point of view on any trending topics. We’re always on the lookout for new points of view and fresh insights.
  • Links back to any previous LXP content is a plus. Show us you are an active reader and community member.
  • Informative, accurate and well-designed infographics are easy wins in the LXP content game. Please do not submit an infographic without an introduction or background information to support the piece.
  • Engaging, informative and relevant graphics or embedded video content is encouraged if you have the resources.
  • Includes quotes, stats, interviews with experts, or information from a new study or research (with links).

We encourage contributors to own their own written voice and use this freedom to share your own relevant, relatable, informative, unique content.
