Congratulations!
I am very happy to inform you that based on your email, you were selected to submit articles that may be posted on my blog. I am very excited to receive and review your articles!
Before we begin, here are some suggestions to improve the probability that your article will be posted on the blog:
Try to keep your articles between 400 - 700 words. You can submit as many articles as you would like. There is no deadline for submitting your work. Please make sure you send your articles to annabashedly1@gmail.com and make the subject of the email the name of your article. The review and approval of potential articles to be posted might take up to 3-4 weeks. During this time I ask that you please do not inquire with me about the status of your proposed. If you did not hear from me after 4 weeks, it means that your article was not chosen to be posted. But don't be discouraged - just keep writing and submitting your articles - because you never know :)
My blog is designed to feature articles that provide inspiration to special groups of people who are dealing with the challenges that life brings, and to provide different insights to those facing such challenges.

'Key Terms and Conditions' for Use of Articles Chosen to be Posted
I will not post anything without your consent. If I do decide to post your article, I will contact you and work out the details of our commercial agreement. I will edit and post the articles on the blog myself, but I will be certain to state your name as the author of the article. If I decide to post your article, I will offer 20 percent of the net ad revenue (after costs and expenses) that is generated from the specific ads that I will put on your specific article. The ads will be assigned to each article so the revenue generated can be tracked specifically to that article. The ad revenue will depend on the number of people who view your specific article. After the end of each month during which your article is posted on the blog, I will analyze the total ad revenue generated from visits to your specific article and deduct all costs associated with promoting your article (which I discuss below). I will email you the details regarding your article views, the total revenues generated from ads on your specific article, the expenses and costs for promoting your specific article and the 20% share of the net revenues for your specific article that you will receive.
I will remit payment to you for your percentage of the net ad revenues generated by your specific article in a particular month in which the article was posted, via PayPal or quickchase account. Payment will be sent on the 25th day of the second month after the month the article was posted. For example, if the article was posted on the blog for the month of January, you would receive your percentage of the net revenues generated for your specific article on the following March 25. However, I will not remit payment if your percentage of the net ad revenues for your article does not reach $50 in a month. In such a case, I will wait to send you payment until your percentage of the net ad revenues generated by your specific article reaches $50. At that point payment will be sent out in the next month. You will continue receive your percentage of the net ad revenues generated by your specific article for every month that article is posted on the blog.
I may choose to promote your article with my Facebook fan page account, Twitter and Instagram accounts, the Annabashedly newsletter (720 subscribers as of today) or other means and I reserve the right to do so as I deem necessary. You can of course promote your articles through your own social media channels to help generate views. Any promotion expenses or costs I incur will be subtracted from your monthly percentage of the net ad revenues generated by your specific article.
Here is an example of how the ad revenue percentage will be calculated.
Let's assume that your article generated $300 in total ad revenue in the month of March and I spent 15 dollars in March promoting your article. That would then be $300 in total ad revenue, minus $15 for promotion costs, which equals $285. Your 20% share of $285 dollars would be $57 for which you would receive payment two months later, on May 25th.
If I choose to post your article, I will contact you to get your written consent and to memorialize the commercial terms.
