Writing On Newsvine

After setting up your column, you can write as much or as little as you want. No deadlines. No editors. No pressure. When and what you write is entirely up to you.

If you'd like your own column, we'd like to publish it for you! Start writing here, and we'll promote your articles throughout the site based on what keywords ("tags") you provide for each article.

For instance, if you wrote an article about Bill Clinton and tagged your article "clinton" it would immediately show up both in your own column (yourname.newsvine.com) and at "newsvine.com/clinton". As more readers view and endorse your articles, your reach, influence, and placement on the site will grow. We call this democratic system of classifying and promoting content a newsonomy.

Writing on Newsvine is a cooperatively rewarding experience. Users share news and information with each other from their columns and Newsvine distributes the resulting ad revenue among users based on traffic to those pages. You'll collect 90% of the earnings from your own domain (yourname.newsvine.com). The other 10% goes to the person who referred you to start writing here. Wondering why you don't keep all 100%? The answer is: we want you to keep over 100%. By writing, saving links, and referring your friends, you'll be able to benefit more than you would by writing your own column alone. For example, if you refer 5 friends who sign up and have about as much readership as you do, then you'll be receiving:

90% + 10% + 10% + 10% + 10% + 10% = 140%.

And some people have more than five friends. :)

Don't be bashful about giving credit to the person who referred you, as that extra 10% will be redirected to a good cause by Newsvine if you don't designate someone to give it to. If you're feeling generous, you can also elect to give your own earnings and/or your referral earnings to a charity of your choice.
