Some additional guidelines you must follow when creating ideas to apply with:
We have three tiers of content payment, dependent on the time and effort required - $200, $350, and $500. The value is agreed upon before any writing happens and is at the discretion of Directus. You must be able to generate an invoice at the end of authoring in order for us to pay you.
We’re flexible, and this is reflected in our multi-tier payment structure. Posts must be completed in one part (no multi-part series), and be over 1000 words.
Once agreed, we love to move quickly through drafting, reviewing, and publishing. We expect each post to take somewhere between 2-4 weeks to go through this whole process.
If you work for a company that makes the product, our relationship might be better served as a co-marketing effort. For the Guest Author program, we only work with individuals.
We currently only accept contributions in English.
Yes, but must include our post as the canonical source for the content.
You own your content, but you grant us an unlimited license to post and promote your content.
You must be aged 18 over to be a Directus Guest Author.
