2. Written Promotions:
Articles are offered to give readers a bit more depth to your promotion delivery. This is a great way to emphasize details and has the strongest SEO potential among all other options listed here. To maximize reach, couple this option with an Audio, Video, and/or Email promotion. For this format, you provide the concept/content and media files (photos if they exist). For this promotion category, we offer two formats:
2.1. You do the work and send it to us.
You send us the content and media files just as you want them to be published and we drop it all into an article and publish it. Cost for this option: $250.
- Length:
- Up to 1000 words
- Each word over 1000: $0.05
- One backlink can be included at no additional cost
Submission Guidelines:
2.1.1. Written Content: For all written content, you can send it over as a Plain Text RTF file (preferred), or included in the body of your message.
2.1.2. Image Files: You are allowed one image file at no charge. All image files must be sent as .jpg and no wider than 620px. If they are wider than that, please size them down to 620px before sending them to us. If they are smaller, please don’t size them up. For all files sent that are wider than 620px or in a format other than .jpg, a $10 surcharge will be included on your invoice to cover the cost of image correcting. We recommend scanning between 300-600dpi. While we’re pretty lenient about this, if the image doesn’t meet our quality standards, we may ask you to provide a better quality image. Fee for each additional image after the first: $10.
2.1.3. Links: You are allowed one Backlink and one social media link at no charge. Include Backlink and/or YouTube link instructions along with the links themselves. If linking out to anything, those links must direct to credible category-related content. See section 3 for pricing for additional links.
2.1.4. How to Send Content: When ready, send content over with layout instructions. All content must be sent via our Contact Us page. Once received, we’ll review your submission. If approved, we’ll reply to arrange payment and begin preparing your article for publication.
2.2. We do the work for you.
You send us the concept idea with media files and we write, edit, and publish the article. Here’s how the pricing works for this option:
- Length:
- Up to 800 words: $150

- Time for writing, and photo editing (when applicable):
- Hourly rate: $50 with a 1-hour minimum
