What “lifestyle write for us” means here
Plenty of sites invite you to “write for us lifestyle” and then run almost anything. We are more selective, because our readers trust us for practical, genuine lifestyle content and that trust is easy to lose. A guest post on AsianPinay should read like the rest of our site: helpful, specific and written by someone who knows the subject — a skincare routine that works in a humid climate, a family recipe explained with real technique, an honest travel guide to a Philippine province you have actually visited.
We value lived experience and a clear point of view over keyword-stuffed filler. If you can teach our readers something useful, or tell a story they will recognise from their own lives, you are the kind of contributor we are looking for.
Topics we welcome
Our categories are broad, but the common thread is usefulness to a Filipina and Filipino lifestyle audience:
- Beauty and self-care — routines, product know-how and honest tips.
- Culture and family — traditions, celebrations and modern Filipino life.
- OFW life — practical, lived guidance for families abroad.
- Travel — destinations, itineraries and budgeting across the Philippines and beyond.
- Food and kusina — recipes, ingredients and cooking methods.
What makes a strong pitch
A good pitch is specific. Instead of “an article about travel”, tell us “a three-day budget itinerary for Siargao for first-time visitors”. Include the angle, why our readers would care, and a line on your own experience with the topic. One or two paragraphs is plenty at the pitch stage — we are looking for a clear idea and a sense that you can deliver it, not a finished draft.
It also helps to show you know our site. A pitch that fits a gap in our existing coverage, or brings a fresh angle to a popular topic, is far more likely to be accepted than a generic idea that could run anywhere.
Editorial guidelines
To keep quality consistent, every contribution follows the same basic rules:
- Original work only — not published elsewhere.
- Accurate, practical and written for real readers, not for search engines alone.
- British spelling and a warm, clear tone.
- No unlabelled promotion; disclose any brand relationship up front.
- We may edit for clarity, length and house style.
How to submit
The process is friendly and there is no cost to pitch:
- Send a short pitch via our contact page with your angle and a line on your background.
- We review for fit and quality and reply with feedback.
- You draft the agreed piece to our guidelines.
- We edit and publish, crediting you as the author.
Guest posts vs sponsored content
A guest post is an unpaid editorial contribution we accept on merit because it helps our readers. If you want to promote a brand or product, that is sponsored content and is priced and labelled accordingly. Keeping the two separate is how we protect both our readers and our honest contributors — a genuine guest post should never be a vehicle for hidden promotion. If your idea sits somewhere between the two, tell us and we will point you to the right route.
What we won’t publish
We decline thin or spun articles, pieces written only to place a link, and anything misleading or unsafe for a lifestyle audience. We don’t sell undisclosed or disguised paid links, so a guest post that exists only to smuggle promotion isn’t a fit, however well written. We also pass on topics far outside our categories, since they won’t serve our readers. None of this is meant to discourage genuine writers — it simply keeps the bar high for everyone.
Who reads our lifestyle stories
It helps to write with a real reader in mind. AsianPinay is read by people interested in Filipina and Filipino lifestyle — beauty and self-care, family and culture, life abroad as an OFW, travel around the Philippines and beyond, and food cooked at home. Many are women balancing work, family and their own interests, and plenty read from overseas while staying connected to home. That is the person your guest post should speak to: someone who wants practical help and a warm, honest voice rather than a lecture or a sales pitch. If you can picture a specific reader and write to help them with something real, your piece will fit naturally alongside our existing coverage. When you pitch, it is worth saying who you think the article is for and what they will take away, so we can see the same reader you do.
After your guest post goes live
Publishing is not quite the end of the process. Once your piece is live, you are welcome to share it with your own audience, and we appreciate it when contributors do — it helps the work find the readers it was written for. We may lightly update an evergreen article over time to keep it accurate, and we will keep your author credit in place. If you spot something that needs correcting after publication, tell us and we will fix it promptly, because accuracy matters more to us than leaving a piece untouched. Contributors who deliver genuinely useful, original work are always welcome to pitch again, and building an ongoing relationship with a handful of trusted writers is something we actively value. A single strong guest post is often the start of a longer collaboration rather than a one-off.
