Exclusive articles are articles that are published exclusively on Seeking Alpha and are not available anywhere else online or offline. Analysts earn cash for publishing exclusive articles. Details here.

Exclusive means that Seeking Alpha is the only publisher of your content, online and offline.

You can post headlines and excerpts of up to 250 words to your blog or website, with a link back to the full article on Seeking Alpha. The brief summary or snippet may not include charts or images and longer excerpts will disqualify the article from being exclusive and receiving article payments.

Before submitting your article, you will choose whether you want it to be exclusive or not exclusive. Here's a look at the differences between the two:

Exclusive: Eligible for payment and articles are optimized for high placement on search engines.

Not Exclusive: Not eligible for payment. Allows you to post on Seeking Alpha, as well as your website and other platforms.

No. All articles are subject to editorial review and selection. Our editors review each submission to determine whether it’s relevant for our audience (and yes, they can be quite picky!). If your submission is declined, you will receive notifications in your Contributor Center, and by email, and if relevant, feedback from our editors as well. You will also receive Contributor Center and email notifications if your article has been accepted and published. You have the option to opt out of email notifications.

No. The Analyst Partnership Program is open to everyone. To date, over 17,000 people have contributed articles over the years. These include individual and institutional investors, fund managers, analysts, college students, retirees, and all those who enjoy sharing investment insights and ideas with our community.

The Contributor Center gives you the ability to track everything in one place. From managing your articles and analyst profile, to tracking payments and tracking pageviews, the contributor center is your one-stop shop for all of your analyst activity.

You hereby agree to the terms and conditions of our payment scheme for the Analyst Partnership Program ("Analyst Payment Terms") which can be found in our Analyst Payment Terms.

Please see here.

Payment can be received through ACH (Automatic Clearing House), eCheck, Wire Transfer, Check or PayPal. You must have a U.S. bank account to receive payments via ACH. Or if you’re feeling magnanimous, or for any other reason would prefer not to receive payment, we can also donate all proceeds to your favorite charity.

Fees are associated to some of the payment methods. Those fees are clearly displayed in the "Payment method" tab in the Contributor Center allowing you to chose the most cost efficient method to fit your needs. Additional fees may be incurred for payments made in currencies other than US dollar.

Your banking information will be submitted over an encrypted SSL connection. Your payment information is secured and payment processing is powered by Tipalti, a secured payment solution that we have chosen to handle our payments and store sensitive information. Tipalti is secured and verified by Geo Trust and PCI compliant, so your information is stored on an isolated, secure server.

In the Contributor Center there is a box titled 'Earnings' which tracks and calculates your earnings.

The Contributor Center allows you to track pageviews on all your SA articles (exclusive and not-exclusive), giving you an idea of what your audience engagement has been like until now. Top articles garner 10s of thousands of pageviews, so if you’re writing compelling articles, the potential to earn substantial income is very attainable.

Payments are made at the end of each month. The minimum payment amount is $100, which will be paid within 30 business days of month end. Payments of less than $100 will be delayed until earnings of $100 or more have accrued in your account. Unclaimed earnings lapse and are reclaimed after 12 months. Your payment and tax information must be completed prior to the end of the month to ensure payment for that month.

Our aspiration is to increase rewards over time and allow analysts to earn even more money as our partnership with contributors succeeds and bears fruits. And yes, we reserve the right to change our incentive plans at any time.

You can donate your earnings to charity. Email us at donations@seekingalpha.com for details.

Charitable donations are processed through the site https://www.tisbest.org. When we process your payment, we will submit your earnings as a voucher, which you will receive via email. You can then enter the tisbest website and choose the charity you wish to donate to. The only requirement we have is that we'll need you to complete a W9 form prior to processing.

Alternatively, we can donate the funds in Seeking Alpha's name to a charity of our choice (and your tax forms are not required). At present, we are donating funds to an organization called Pencils of Promise (pencilsofpromise.org).
