How are you paid?

Based on the effort and popularity of the content and the channel, each member in the value chain benefits economically.  There are two components of channel compensation:

Article Exchange Payments
Revenue Sharing

At the beginning of each month, each channel member will receive a compensation report. As long as the amount earned is above a minimum of $20, a payment will be sent. We require paypal for those outside the United States. Otherwise payment will be sent via paypal or check. If the minimum payout is not achieved, the amount will be carried over until the next month or until such time that the minimum is met. Payments will only be made if required paperwork is complete.

Reporting will be tracked by Bright Hub and each month everyone will receive a report. There is one requirement on your part. Bright Hub does not know which quality backlink was obtained by whom. So in order to receive compensation for backlinks, we will be requesting a list of backlinks obtained from each person.


Article Exchange Payments

There is a set of activities that channel members perform that will result in an Article Exchange Payment. This is not an advance on revenue sharing pay. The Article Exchange Payment will be credited to each participants account upon the publishing of the article. Article Exchange payouts will be processed on the second Friday of every month for work published the month prior. For example, for items published in August, your payment will be processed on September 12th.

The current payout schedule is as follows:

Task Payment Description
Article Writing $10.00 Writing the article in keeping with the opportunity description guidelines and having it published
Article Proofing/ Editing/ Backlinking $3.00 Publishing an article after ensuring the guidelines set forth are met and the article is linked to and from relevant websites and blogs.
Obtaining a quality Backlink $1.00 A quality backlink is a link from another website to your article on BrightHub.com.  The site needs to be highly relevant to your article and offer good, useful content.


Revenue Sharing

Revenue sharing is on a per article basis formulated from number of page views and site revenue per thousand page views (RPM).  Revenue sharing payments will be made on a 60 day lag. For example, revenue share earned in August will be processed for payment on approximately October 10th. This payment is processed for you in the same manner that Bright Hub is paid from our advertising partners.
