Are you a blogger/author in the personal development/health space?
Do you like sharing ideas, inspiring others and celebrating the magic of life?
We are looking for passionate bloggers/authors who want to help spread meaningful information, powerful truthsand personal development through the written word. If you've ever read a life changing story, watched a mind blowing video or experienced something so unreal for yourself that led you to a complete shift in awareness; we would like to offer you an opportunity to share it with the world.
You don't need to be a professional writer or journalist to create a real connection with others through a piece of writing, anyone at any skill level can participate in this, and any age too!
Be The Change
By lifting others up, you lift yourself up. You don't have to tote how smart you are, because it is inherently demonstrated by your ability to see someone else doing something great and to lift them up on high.
This is an opportunity to spread knowledge, love and creativity. It is not an opportunity to oppose, force or preach your personal answers to everything, your spiritual teachings, your business, or your supreme 12th dimensional experiences. Please, make it meaningful and something others want to share.
Allow us to highlight your best original articles. In exchange for sharing them with us, you will have your articles featured for millions to see. They can range from spirit, energy, health, relationships, psychology business and lifestyle all the way to science, technology, quantum psychics, beautiful creations, amazing places, heart warming acts and everything in between.
Here are a few examples of the different kinds of articles you can use as an example to craft your own!

What makes a great article
When writing any type of article for blogs there are three elements:
Image–
Your image has to be a great image that will catch the readers eye. Think about scrolling through your Facebook newsfeed and see what catches your eye and ask 'Why' and apply that to adding your own images. Images can make the difference between an article that is shared 100,000 times and an article this is shared 10 times.
**We will take care of the image for you so no need to send one in**
Headline:
Your headline does exactly the same job as your image. It has to grab the readers attention. think about these two headlines:
