✍️ Article Length Guidelines

We accept articles between 700 and 2,000 words, with an ideal target of around 1,000 words. This balance helps maximize readability, SEO ranking, and engagement.

Articles that are too short may not offer enough depth, while very long pieces should be structured clearly to maintain reader interest.

💸 Contributor Revenue Projection

To help authors understand the earning potential, here is a projection for an individual contributor consistently producing 5 accepted articles per day.

Assumptions:

5 articles/day × 30 days = 150 articles/month
Each article generates an average of 500 views/month
Total monthly views = 150 × 500 = 75,000 views
RPM = $2.50 (moderate estimate of share)
Total revenue = 75 × $2.50 = $187.50/month

Compounding Effect Over Time:
Article earnings accumulate monthly. After 12 months, this contributor will have 1,800 articles in the system. Assuming steady views and continued RPM, their estimated cumulative earnings would be:

Month 1 articles (monthly earning after1 month): $187.50 × 1 = $187.50
Month 2 articles (monthly earning after2 months): $187.50 × 2 = $375.00
Month 3 articles (monthly earning after3 months): $187.50 × 3 = $562.50
Month 4 articles (monthly earning after4 months): $187.50 × 4 = $750.00
Month 5 articles (monthly earning after5 months): $187.50 × 5 = $937.50
Month 6 articles (monthly earning after6 months): $187.50 × 6 = $1,125.00
Month 7 articles (monthly earning after7 months): $187.50 × 7 = $1,312.50
Month 8 articles (monthly earning after8 months): $187.50 × 8 = $1,500.00
Month 9 articles (monthly earning after9 months): $187.50 × 9 = $1,687.50
Month 10 articles (monthly earning after10 months): $187.50 × 10 = $1,875.00
Month 11 articles (monthly earning after11 months): $187.50 × 11 = $2,062.50
Month 12 articles (monthly earning after12 months): $187.50 × 12 = $2,250.00
Total Estimated Revenue at the first 12 Months anniversary = $14,625.00
Submission fees for 1,800 articles × ~$2.00 ~= $3,600, so net gain ~= $11,025.00

Effort-to-Reward Perspective:
While early net gains may seem modest (e.g., $562.50 after 3 months), the workload is light for a savvy AI user — roughly 4-5 hours/day to generate 5 quality articles (and even more should the contributer decides to work the full day). Given the passive income model, this is a solid long-term return for consistent contributors.

Assuming the contributor stops writing after 12 months, their 1,800-article archive could continue to generate an estimated $2,250.00/month in ongoing passive income (based on 500 views per article and a $2.50 RPM share). This number will fluctuate depending on traffic trends and article relevance.

Alternatively, if the contributor shifts to a slower pace — publishing just 1 article per day — they could still add 365 articles annually, boosting total monthly income, after a year, by an estimated $450/month.

After 12 months of steady content creation, contributors may choose to stop publishing and still earn revenue from their existing content. With 1,800 articles live and earning, the system becomes a source of passive income — compounding monthly from SEO traffic and long-term ad engagement.

Yearly Potential: If production continues at this pace and SEO compounds viewership over time, monthly revenue could grow significantly, especially from high-performing articles that continue earning long after submission.
