Write Articles for Money Questions

Can I really write articles for TF to make money?
Absoletly and we highly encourage that you do! We love for talented writers to join in our community of journalists to publish great, interesting, and hot news related to technology. In return for money we also allow your website URL to be displayed in the article that you write when someone clicks on your username for that article. This gives you traffic and also SEO because its a "Do Follow" link!

How much do you pay for written articles?
The payout rate varies greatly depending on a number of factors including; hotness of the news, originality, spelling and grammar, and how much publicity the article receives. If you were to write an article that is available from a press release at a major company than you would get paid much less than if you wrote an article on some hot new gadget or company insider information that nobody has written news about yet. We also pay out a bonus if the article you write gets major publicity on sites such as Digg, Slashdot, and other large traffic sites.

How do I receive a 'Bonus'?
A bonus is paid out when one of your articles receives larger than normal amounts of traffic from popular media outlets such as Slashdot, Digg, Fark, and other sites. No, you can't just refresh your article a bunch of times and expect a payout :) We thoroughly track our referrals and we know when you try to cheat the system, so don't even try. However, we handsomely reward those journalist who seek out to get their news article on high traffic sites. Please do not SPAM as doing so will cause all of your earnings to be wiped out and your account disabled.

We do not currently hold your money like some companies who pay NET 30, 60, or 90 days. If you start posting articles today, you can get paid this month!
