The Writing Shares revenue-sharing plan for freelance writers is always based on the number of articles submitted and accepted. We review every single article for quality standards before accepting it.
While we realize that this invites some people to submit poor-quality articles in huge numbers to try to get a bonus, they won’t get past our editing process to cheat the system. If you persist in submitting large numbers of poor articles or articles that require substantial revision, we reserve the right to terminate you from Writing Shares and the bonus program. You have been warned. We accept ONLY quality SEO articles.
Important: In exceptional cases of high-quality articles, we may award 1 or 2 bonus points. The awarding of bonus points is based on our subjective opinion of quality. All decisions are final and nonreviewable. We are more likely to award these bonus points for consistent quality work rather than just an occasionally excellent SEO article in between a bunch of average ones.
With that said, we award a total of 10 monthly Super Bonuses based on the number of quality articles submitted to Writing Shares. 7 are for articles submitted and accepted within the present month. 3 are for total all-time articles submitted and accepted.
Each Super Bonus winner gets 1% of the site-wide revenue received by Writing Shares during the month the bonus is earned.
You must first qualify for profit sharing by getting your first 30 articles accepted. Then, you may earn any of these 10 bonuses. You may also earn two bonuses in a given month as long as you qualify for a bonus in each of the two categories. Your first 30 articles WILL count in your article total. You just won’t be eligible for a bonus until you have had 30 articles approved.
At the end of the month, we will review all submitted articles that have not yet been reviewed. Once we are done, then we will announce the winners right here. You can also track how many articles everyone has written on the Global Stats page. See the menu above.
The Super Bonus program will begin in April 2012. All articles written up to that point WILL count for the all-time bonuses (the top 3 in terms of all-time accepted articles).
