IMPORTANT
:
We require shop owners to submit their
full name, shop name and shop URL with each submission. If
you would like to include your shop logo with your articles you must submit
the logo with the article as a JPG attachments to your email submission. Photos
cannot be embedded in the actual article. We do not archive logo photos. For this reason, you must include your logo with each article submission.
Links: We
do not
permit
links to your shop or your shop name
within the body
of the article.
Only shop owners we have selected to write
regular monthly columns for the blog are permitted to include links and shop names. We do permit reference links to sites within the body of your article
as long as they are not a self/shop promoting site or a competitor.
Previously Published Articles
Articles previously published to an online site are not acceptable for submission to the Get Paid to Blog program. Google does not allow duplicate content to be listed in a search. Publication of duplicate content on any site may result in Google no longer accepting information for indexing into a Google search. Submissions must be new, original content.
Photos:
- We ask shops to limit the number of photos they include in an article to no more than two. Photos should be no larger than
350 pixels in either dimension (width
and height). Submitting larger photos requires us to resize the photo and this may delay the publication of your article.
- Additional photos may be included if they illustrate an important
point in the article, such as, examples of marks, makers signatures,
and photos of that nature. You may create a
photo collage,
which is one large photo with many individual photos within the one
photo. Collage photos should be no larger than 350 pixels high by 400
pixels wide.
Length of Article: Articles must be a
minimum of 300 words and a
maximum of 2000 words, plus or minus a few.
# of Articles: Shops may submit up to two articles per month for publication and payment. Not all articles are published in the month they
are received. We strongly suggest you submit your article(s) by the 15th of the month.
Fee Payment: Articles that are accepted and published in the blog
will
receive a $35 fee payment per article as a credit to their Ruby Lane account. Shop Owners are notified once the article is published. Please allow up to 2 business
days for your fee payment to process and post to your Ruby Lane account. Fee payments are made
after the article is published.
Good Standing: To be considered for publication in Notes from the Lane shops must be in good standing with Ruby Lane. Good standing includes payment history, complaints, and a history of professional conduct.
