Content guide

A few pointers to help your piece land well with the XP Community.

Writing tips

A few simple tips that tend to work well across the community.

Aim for 600–1,000 words
Let one clear takeaway run through the piece
Include links only where they genuinely add value
Send imagery with alt text where you can
If you have meta or SEO details, feel free to include them
If you are writing on behalf of a brand, let that voice come through. We want your character, not a sales brochure
We will lightly edit for clarity, formatting and accessibility

Plenty of people use tools to spell-check or tidy up a draft. That is fine. Just try not to let them strip out your voice. If in doubt, send us the version that sounds like you and we can proof-read it with you.

Creative formats

Your article does not have to be text only. Liven things up with:

images
short video clips
audio notes or mini-podcast segments
slides or diagrams
data visuals or screenshots
workshop notes or hand-drawn ideas

If it helps people learn something, see something differently or feel less alone in a problem, it is welcome here.

Our vibe check

This is a community space. Not a battlefield, not a megaphone. Bring your full self, your brand’s voice, your lived experience, but bring it with the community at heart.

Be human. Be yourself – If you’re polished, be polished. If you’re chatty, be chatty. If your brand is bold, use it. We don’t need one single tone. We want yours.
No shit-talking. No tearing down competitors. No stirring the pot – Silence is powerful and we prefer to use it well. If the energy isn’t constructive, it doesn’t belong here.
Substance over stuffing – If your insight is good, people will click through. Keep CTAs natural. Don’t force links.
Curiosity is welcome – You can explore, wander, reflect, disagree, rethink. Just stay grounded in something true or useful.
Keep it accessible – Plain English. Short paragraphs. Explain acronyms. Think about readers with different learning styles
