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.. 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.

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

Writing the article in keeping with the opportunity description guidelines and having it published
