Secondly is there a way we know you know what the count till day is, what payments have been dispatched etc. Basically stats is all i am asking, a kinda Tally.

Could you Load a small Tutorial / screenshots demonstrating the whole process including Payment. I guess most of the Enthusiast writers aren't aware of the way this is done. On the second hand i might learn a think or two. What do u say admin?

Dont you worry about accounts being messed up... I will maintain an excell sheet for this purpose.

Just some minor queries
1. the email address to send the articles is given and the number of words for the post.
i wanted to know just that if i write on some topic and its a possibility that the other person also can write on similar lines too may be the same topic in that case what method are you going to use.

2. and also that can i submit the new technologies that are coming up and some new trends and gadgets which have yet to come in the indian market but are damn sexy with the top notch features.

Do reply my 2 queries and then i will be able to add on to the resources better. u can count me in for the entries for articles after the questions are answered.


Mayur

If two or three people write on the same topic its not an issue as I am sure they will be a lot different then each other.. so thats not an issue.

Yes you can write about new technologies.

The examples :

Why is broadband not catching up in India as it should be.

Review of your mobile phone

You can review your fridge as well

You can write about the music system you use..

You can write about the camera you use..

The list is endless..

What do you say?

The main reason I would not like you to do that is that your own site will suffer from Google penalties if you do that. It would hurt the rankings of your own blog.

You can use images but those images should not be copyrighted and should be owned by you.




PS: If I have left out your query ... that was not intentional so please ping me if I have left somethign out.

---------------------

I have added the 6th condition which says the : Articles need to be in English language.

This coz one gentleman sent me an article in some other language which I am not able to understand still scratching my head over it...

so every rule is cleared now..........and the contest is started ???

Extract from RULES:

[5) Articles need to be sent to this e-mail address : ibfarticles@gmail.com

OK.

and also send a link to your forum id

NOT CLEAR.
Confirm whether the article is to be posted ALSO in
the IBF forum/subforum by the contributor , at the SAME time.

Para two ;
All articles submitted are accepted or only selected ones ??!!!!
( as per conditions mentioned )
Thanks.

No the articles dont need to be posted by the contributer.

Any articles if not selected will sent back to the contributor as a reply to the same e-mail which the article was sent along with the reason as why it was not selected ie too short or doesnt make sense or any xyz reason... for example a member sent two articles which were only 30-40 words... and so on.

This is a very good initiative that will enable the youth to sharpen their writing skills in this sms generation. I hope you will have a very good response. Good luck.

Admin jee, this is a gr8 thing u have strted.

Also, can we write some guides too, would they also be counted ??
and if the article is of premium quality(which would be juged by u), would it get any kind of extra payment ??
also, if a review is multiple pages(10-12), would it still be accepted ?It would not be full of txt only, but Graphs and pic(totally owned by us).

Also, i do not have my own account, can the payment be done on my mother's account ?

Is this your attitude when a genuine question was being asked ?

the rules have got me confused?

Great Initiative by Admin.....

can we write and post health related articles

> The article once submitted should not be used anywhere else
> including your own site or blog.

Reminds of blog service of Sulekha.com .. where once you submitted a blog then Sulekha.com owns the copyright of it and you can't even say they you wrote it.

Sulehka.com pays you?

Ok Adminji, But who will do the select(judge) the articles?

- You only?
- or You, smoothie and j4k?
- or all mods + you?

Plz mention this.

Also, i felt that Rs40/50/60 are a bit too little. Some reviews might take days/lots of Hrs to compile. Try to make this small token based on quality plz.
Meaning, Rs40(base) for the article, and +Rs20 if its gold quality and +Rs30 if its platinum quality, n so on. I mean this is not a money making thing, but another way of making the quality better.

Should be all mods + admin, else, it would be too much for 1 person i think.

For the articles rejected, can u plz reply by mail for the reason it has been rejected.

and a thread in which only admin n mods can post the links of all accepted articles, so it would be easy to find what ur looking for.

I think 100 per article is enough!

Well you cant have it both ways... you get paid for something and you dont wanna part with it either... it doesnt work that way.

And how does this remind you of Sulekha? Sulekha never paid for articles as far as I know... Please correct me if I am wrong..

Good start but it is just the beginning. rep+ to admin.

I think when a publisher publishes your work you have copyright but you also are legally binded to not published & use that article anywhere without permission of publisher. I think similar thing is also here.

We do not allow links to other websites and the main reason is that they do not allow our links either... Try posting a link to this site from the site you mentioned...

Thats cool - but you could've simply removed my post instead of deleting the username itself.
