Common questions

Contributor FAQ

How technical should my article be?

We welcome content ranging from introductory to deep technical dives. The key is clarity for your target audience. If you're writing for beginners, explain concepts thoroughly. If for experts, dive deep into the nuances.

Can I republish my article elsewhere after it appears in Ampli?

After your article has been published in Ampli for 30 days, you're free to republish it elsewhere. We ask for a 30-day exclusivity window to provide value to our subscribers.

What if my article has been published elsewhere before?

We prefer original content for fresh perspectives. However, we're open to discussing updated or expanded versions of previously published work—just let us know upfront.

Can I promote my own product or service in the article?

We allow relevant promotion of personal work or products, but it requires a genuine value-first approach. Blatant advertising isn't allowed—your content should primarily educate or inspire.
