Compensation for Writing Articles

Many article submission site do not offer a separate resource box for you to fill out. I am not sure why they do this, but a number of sites use this format. Unfortunately, many writers will just shrug their shoulders and submit their article. I'm sure this is the case because a large number of articles that I see from those sites do not include any links from the authors.

That is a shame because the article is written to benefit the site and it's readers, while the resource box is written to benefit the author. The links in the resource box represent the author's compensation. When a writer submits an article without the resource information, he is working for free. The site still benefits, but the author does not. Personally, I would not submit many articles if there was no potential compensation for me.

I don't mind it when I am making a submission to a site that omits the author resource box. I skip a space at the bottom of the article and add in my resource box information. I've been doing that as long as I've been writing articles. When I first tried it, I went to the site a few days later and checked my article to see if my resource info was included. Sure enough, there it was.

Since then, I always add my resource information to the bottom of the article if no box is provided and I have never had an article refused (or delayed) by those sites.

This type of site actually turns out to be a benefit to the author. When submitting to a site with a standard resource box, it is obvious to the reader where the resource information begins. However, when there is no resource box, you can design your links right into the bottom of the article. If you craft it well, it gives your links a little more credibility and can increase the clicks that you get from that article.

So the next time you are in the midst of your submissions and you run across a site without a resource box, don't just shrug your shoulders and submit the article including only your name. Thank them and weave your links into the bottom of the article. You should be compensated for the work you do!
