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.
When accepting your post, we will set a deadline for a first draft. Once the draft is submitted, we seek to have a round of reviews completed and answered in a few days. We will publish it as part of the agreed month's content schedule.
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.
