How many articles can
I submit?
You can submit as many
articles as you can write. However, we buy ten to twenty articles

articles. If you submit an article that we want to buy, but have already reached our daily quota, we will place your article in the submission queue and purchase it in the order it was received. You will then receive
an e-mail confirming your article's status and the date we expect to purchase it.

No, we buy all rights

publish as we see fit. Once we transfer payment to you it belongs to us.
