1Review our guidelines

Audience: The Beat Asia is an all-in-one lifestyle website that captures the intricacies of the Asian culture. Our target audience includes expats in Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, and Manila; tourists looking for travel hacks; entrepreneurs; and tech-savvy locals who want to know the latest lifestyle trends in their respective cities.

Word count: For SEO purposes, we recommend our articles to be anywhere between 500 words and 1,500 words. Our website relies heavily on our always-on-the-go, online readers so please consider brevity and the overall readability of your article.

Images/Videos: If you are guest posting for our highly visual sections such as Delish, Nomads, Ohana, Fashionista, and The List, we encourage you to provide high-resolution landscape images along with your article. As the author, you are responsible for obtaining permission to use the assets from outside sources.

Edits: All submitted articles are subject to our copy-editing process, primarily to comply with our in-house style guide. The Beat’s editorial team reserves the right to reject articles that do not align with our brand’s vision and content strategy.

Topics: Our website covers a wide variety of topics that capture the intricacies of living in Asia, particularly Hong Kong and Singapore. Our coverage matrix includes hole-in-the wall resto recommendations, under-the-radar attractions, tech trends, entrepreneurship best practices, parenting tips, and a lot more.

Attribution: All approved guest articles will be published on The Beat Asia for free and attributed to the respective authors through a byline.
