Here's how it Works:
- Write your article and submit it to our billing department
- We will get back to you within 48 hours how much we are willing to credit your account
- Depending on the content, complexity, and if the General Guidelines were followed, we credit $5 to $50 (or more!) per article depending on quality
- You accept, we credit your account, your article is posted in our knowledge base
General Guidelines:
- Article or tutorial must be unique and original work
- Best articles include screenshots but this is not required
- Article/tutorial should be written so a beginner can understand
- Article/tutorial should cover a subject not yet covered in our knowledge base
- Technical in nature with a clear objective
- Easy to follow, no grammatical or spelling mistakes
- Should be related to the type of technology we offer (do not send us baking recipes!)
- Think of task you had difficulties with and write the tutorial how to accomplish the task
- Clear requirements (what are the minimum requirements to accomplish the tutorial?)
What to Avoid:
- Copying articles from other websites, whether in full or partial
- Reusing previously created work
- Screenshots with user identifiable information (public IP addresses, names, passwords, etc.)
- Articles that are divided into parts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)
- Non-clear objectives
- Excessive commentary
- Articles that have nothing to do with web hosting, virtual private servers, DNS, or internet technologies
Requirements:
- Must be a Mean Servers client with an active service
- Account must be in good standing (no outstanding invoices beyond due date)
- Willing to relinquish ownership of submitted work to Mean Servers Limited
Note that once Mean Servers pays you for the article/tutorial, you grant Mean Servers exclusive royalty-free ownership of said article/tutorial. The article/tutorial may not be used or reproduced anywhere else without express written consent from Mean Servers Limited. You relinquish all rights and claims to said submitted work as the work becomes intellectual property of Mean Servers Limited. Work that is later found to be reproduced anywhere or copied from (non-original) will result in the credit being removed from your account.
