How to Submit an Article to UpFx

We started this blog as a way to share tips and ideas that will make our lives easier. Not only have we learned a ton, but 38 million visitors have stopped in and hopefully enhanced life a tad.

If you have an interest in helping people or if you simply want to get your name out there, don't hesitate to send in an article. You don't have to have a website, a blog, or any alternative agenda. All you need is a little fire inside that wants to help the average person's life become easier.

Getting Started

We receive about twenty articles each day and it's difficult to go through all of them. But We do. Guess what, quality wins every time. Grammar, topic, format, spamminess, etc., are all things that weigh in on my decision. If you look at all of the articles on ZoneBlogger, you'll notice that we're big into giving the reader good, honest, actionable advice. That's what we looking for.

For further assistance, we highly recommend that you filling out the form below:

Here is a note from Ali:

 Writing for UpFx has been a huge boost to my career. I can't count the number of times that I've had an email or comment saying "I found you through UpFx" -- and several of my best clients have been people who first read my posts there. UpFx has been my biggest, most consistent referral site for years (only StumbleUpon has sent more visitors, and traffic from there is much lower quality).

When I'm coaching fellow writers, I often recommend as a great place to guest post -- Jay's editorial skill and the huge, friendly, UpFx audience make it a fantastic place to get experience, whatever stage you're at as a writer. I still remember how Jay patiently edited my post introductions when I started out writing for him, and this really taught me how important it is to "hook" the reader at the beginning of a piece -- a hugely valuable lesson that I use in every single post I write today.

Not bad right?

When you're ready

When you feel that your foundation is built, let's get moving. Write an article and send it over! Here are the general guidelines:

• We am not a master at grammar so don't assume that I'll catch errors. It's your name so be sure to send me good clean copy.
• No pictures needed. We will handle that aspect of the post.
• If you are quoting a medical study or any external reference, link to the source.
• Send a short bio and picture of yourself! If you look at any recent article on this site, you'll see a "written by" section. Use that as a guideline.

All in all, it's simple; write something that's honest and researched.

Cheers!
