What We’re Looking For
Uplightinghouse focuses on practical lighting content that helps our readers improve their homes and make smart choices. We want writers who can share real experiences with installation techniques, product reviews, and lighting design tips.
Topics We Love
We’d like to have articles about planning and installing outdoor lighting, landscape lighting, driveway entrance lights, gazebo lighting, installing deck lights, selecting wire sizes, and determining lighting placement in your yard or garden.
Indoor lighting guides are popular: recessed lighting installation, kitchen lighting layouts, and measuring for fixture size with costs, tools, and safety tips are in-demand articles.
Uplightinghouse.com should contain facts and references about lighting comparison and buyer’s guides, such as uplight vs downlight, flood light vs spot light, and Trimlight vs Jellyfish lighting systems.
Content Types Accepted
We publish how-tos, product reviews, installation guides, and educational pieces. Listicles, such as “10 Driveway Entrance Lighting Ideas”, best resonate with our audience. Beginner guides are acceptable, along with advanced techniques depending on expertise.
The Uplightinghouse reviews cover the pros, cons, and pricing, and offer links to the best places to purchase the product. Photo guides containing step-by-step instructions are appreciated by readers.
Everyone loves to hear about different home lighting projects. Share the different fixtures, install them, and reveal the final results!
Submission Guidelines
Uplightinghouse has simple rules to help you write content that our readers will love. Follow these guidelines to increase your chances of getting published.
Writing Style
You can use lighting to change your mood and make the house cozy and inviting. Try these suggestions. Terms such as ‘unified modeling language’ should be identified with the first use, and should not be assumed to be known.
Express both the pros and cons. Uplightinghouse readers prefer honest feedback, not marketing fluff. Include product names. Include costs and installation times.
Safety information, together with reminders to check electrical codes and hire electricians, will always be provided. Helping people interests us more than selling does.
Formatting Requirements
Headings break up your content into sections and allow for easy navigation. Use bullet points for lists or steps. [Link to example] at [do not add more]
Articles need a word count from 800 to 2000. They should also contain at least 3-5 headings for purposes of scanning. Uplightinghouse likes short paragraphs and ample white space.
We accept articles in both Google Docs and Word formats and request suggested images. While we do the final formatting, it will help to keep this order.
