We are looking for well written articles on financially related topics. We are a financial news blog and are looking for newsy, informative articles. Specifically we are looking for articles reporting on a financial or economic article in the news, money making, money management, money saving or budgeting tips, lists of things to do to modify your home in a money saving fashion, articles on protecting your credit and managing your home in a money-saving manner. We have found that lists, such as top 10 lists, are bringing in more views. Please remember that the theme of our blog is News & Finance Education. We are not looking for financial “stories” but rather, articles that are educational, informative or newsworthy.
Articles must be politically and religiously neutral. There can be no prejudice or derogatory language or ideas conveyed in the articles. We do not print articles that contain information on products or topics that are illegal, immoral, unethical or that deal with drugs, or gambling or alcohol in excess. All articles must be original content and not published anywhere else. We have a system that searches the net and checks for similarly written content.
Price of the articles
The minimum we pay for an article is $15 then, with the calculations and traffic, we go up from there. The amount is calculated by a complicated mathematical formula that factors in total unique traffic to the article for a 7 day period and the total number of unique back links at the time of payment calculation. For those who submit articles and whose articles develop a readership or attract a significant amount of other sites linking to our own, we then may pay more to motivate that author to produce more content. It is advisable to promote your articles to get paid more.
BUM Marketing with Written Articles
You can submit articles into our system also in exchange for commission rather than getting paid directly. You can make up to $65 or so per conversion from your articles.
Article submission requirements
Because of IRS requirements, we need to have a signed W-8 (International writers) or W-9 (U.S. writers) on file for each writer. We send a 1099 to you at the end of the year if you live in the U.S. and receive more than $600 in income from our program. We do not report information to any country outside the U.S. If you live outside the U.S., you will be responsible to pay any taxes or fees for your own country’s reporting requirements.

The 160-character maximum summary: Along with your article, you must include your summary. When people do a search for a certain topic, the search engines list different articles for the user to choose from. The different articles display the 65 character maximum title and this description. This is your sales pitch. This description is what you are using to get people to click to view your article.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are some technical aspects to the articles that must be followed that are unique to our site. The articles have to meet a certain standard of professionalism as well as clarity of thought. The articles must be written in accurate English.
What type of writers work the best?
Many of the best writers we have found are just regular people expressing common sense thoughts and ideas while talking about current events. The more technical the articles the less “regular” people will enjoy reading them. Don’t feel you have to be overly qualified to get your articles accepted.
Do we buy every article submitted?
Because we pay per article, we retain the right to require as many revisions as necessary to make the article acceptable to our standards. Submitting an article does not entitle you to payment nor does it create any type of agreement with us. The articles that we choose to publish are the articles you will be paid for. If we reject an article from our purchase selection process, then you will be notified and given the reasons. You will be able to resubmit the article as many times as necessary in order to make it acceptable for purchase unless it was rejected as duplicate content or for illegal, immoral, or for other contractual reasons.
What are my rights for purchased articles?
Once an article is purchased by us we then hold exclusive rights to the article and may edit, revise, and publish the written content in any manner that we wish. Once the written content is submitted to us, the one who submitted it to us grants total and complete ownership of the article to us without restriction or license.
Can I be from a country outside of the U.S.?
It is fine if you live outside of the U.S. but you have to be able to write to a U.S. audience in perfect English. It is O.K. to write about anything, worldwide, as long as a U.S. audience would be interested in it and as long as you follow our guidelines and use our keywords. You have to have a PayPal or Google Checkout account to deposit funds into. You will have to complete a W-8. Please see the section above called, “Article Submission Requirements.”
Right to request written declarations
We have the right to require a written declaration from anyone who submits an article that the article is submitted for purchase lawfully and not in violation of any other agreement or the rights of any other third party. Violations of copy right laws or any other law, regulation, or rule immediately nullifies any assumed obligation to purchase or pay for that written content.
Failure to comply
Any failure to comply with these rules causes the immediate forfeit of all rights and all money due or owed for purchased content regardless if it is from submissions in the past, present or future. Submitting articles in violation of our rules or any law or contract entitles us to immediate reimbursement via the PayPal system.
