Bye-Bye Byline, Hello Cash

Are you frustrated that you didn’t get a byline on an article you wrote for a client? What a bummer, I know.  You want to show your hard work to your mom, post links to it on your blog, and get some credit for your hard work. But think of it this way: no byline = more work and more $$ for you.

Your byline does not appear with your tip or article because when you signed up to work for LifeTips, you agreed to our terms and conditions: “Any tips or content I submit to LifeTips, in any form, for purposes of web publishing or book publishing, shall instantly become the property of LifeTips.” The client subsequently purchases the copyright from LifeTips. One of the reasons LifeTips appeals to our big-name, deep-pocketed clients is content ownership. The more prominent clientele we attract means more work and cash for you.

Forfeiting your byline is no fun, but we nevertheless offer other opportunities for you to get your name out there. You can become a Site Guru and manage the content, online community, and blog on a specific niche of our website. And it’s not unheard of for some of our clients to like their writer so much that they include the writer’s byline. High-fives to Bill Pirraglia for his work on eWisdom.com.
