Short answer: A typical article of 3000 words, 10 photos, and a short video clip will net a payment of about $180, or about $30 per page. We expect payment of $150 - $400 per feature article to be typical, although for some longer feature articles we've paid out as much as $1000.
Long answer: If we can use your article, we'll pay you for it upon acceptance. Our standard rates are:
- $10 per page of text (about 400 words)
- $10 per photo
- $20 per virtual reality image (3D click-n-spin)
- $20 per minute of video or audio (5 min max - contact us if more because we have size limits)
A typical submission of 3000 words and 30 photos (bracketed) plus a short 1 minute video clip will result in an article that runs about 6 pages, has 10 photos and includes a short video clip. This article will net a payment of about $180 (an average of about $30 per page).
If the actual published article has more pages, more images, or more of your rich media content than we originally estimated, you will get a payment for the extra material used upon publication. If we use less of your article than originally estimated, then so be it. You got a higher rate for your article!
If one of your photos makes our cover, we pay $100 for cover photos. If one of your photos gets used in the table of contents, we pay $50 for it.
Since our electronic format doesn't limit us to a specific page count, we're interested in more meaty feature articles. Some of our longer feature articles running 20 pages or more, with 50+ photos have netted the author well over $1000 in payment.
Since we're just getting started and depend totally on advertisers for income, we can't pay a lot for articles (yet). In time, we hope to raise our rates to make them more competitive. Our main benefit right now is that we pay upon acceptance, so you won't have to wait until publication for your money!
