Sometimes we pay more for repeat contributors and people who have shown they can deliver clear, concise writing in a timely fashion. Most articles are 1,500 words long, so that works out to $75 USD for a single article. In some cases we may approve longer articles or a multi-part series, so don’t be afraid to ask if your idea needs some extra room to flourish.”
