You DON’T Have to Be…

1.	An excellent writer. I’m not looking for J. K. Rowling or J.R.R. Tolkien to help me out here. I’m not an excellent writer either. An aspiring writer? Make this YOUR platform to broadcast your talents!
2.	A website owner. Though it’ll be great if you are one. I’ll promote it for you!
3.	A professional. Though it’ll be great if you are one. But no worries! Your quality articles give you higher credibility. High credibility makes you an expert in the long run!
4.	Someone else. Just be yourself! Give me your heartfelt thoughts, opinions or inspiring stories. And you know what? Your words might just change someone’s life for the better!

You’ll have to write your articles in English though.

The Type of Content I’m Looking For…
Your personal experience, true stories of people you know, tips, your professional knowledge and so on, as long as it falls into one of the following categories:

1.	Success That’s what my blog is about! Achieving success! Inspire us with your dose of success tips and stories! Remember, success is NOT just about money. Share your secrets to a successful family, relationships, career etc. Anything under the sun and the moon.
2.	Personal development Boosting your personal skills and knowledge is the sure-fire way to succeed. Unless you want to be kept behind the times, or stay at the bottom of the food chain, you should never ignore your personal development.
3.	Financial planning Ahhhh. Most find it too cumbersome. I beg to differ. It’s the most elegant way to financial success (see: Financial Planning).
4.	Health You’ve succeeded. You’ve got everything that you ever dreamt and wanted. And then guess what? Your hair’s balding. Thanks to years of procrastinating exercise and eating all sorts of junk food, the lump of fat at your waist has grown to XL in size. Pretty sad huh? How about some health tips starting from today?
5.	Humour Life’s not always smooth-sailing. And laughter is the perfect remedy! I’m not exactly funny. So help me out here will you?

Some Things to Note
And of course, there are some points I’ll like to highlight:

1.	Always send in a short bios of yourself and your photo (if any) so that I can include them in your guest article.
2.	ALL the content in the article must be ORIGINAL. Copyright issues here. If Copyscape tells me that your article is lifted off from some other site, I’m sorry. I’m not posting it.
3.	Your article will become a property of TheLostOne.com. This means that you don’t get to publish the same content elsewhere.
4.	Include any references in your article, just like we did in school. It’s not really a bother when it shows people that your information comes from reliable sources!
5.	Don’t be pissed if I do correct your writing for vocabulary, grammar etc. I’m not particularly good myself. But I’ll edit what I think is wrong.
6.	If your article is irrelevant or seriously lacking in content, I won’t post it as well.

Hope that lays down some of the ground rules. I’ll update this page from time to time. Send in your articles to news@thelostone.com NOW!!!
