Why Do I have to Pay a Fee to Publish a Guest Post?
We get about 10 emails a day that read like this:
Dear Editor,
With all due respect, I don’t understand why I need to make a payment, especially when I’m writing the article for free. If you’ll look at the article, you’ll notice is purely educational and it adds quite some value to the readers. I spend a lot of time writing the article, so that time investment is quite high already. Hope you understand.”

Our Response:
Dear Free Guest Poster,
Like all businesses, there are costs for doing work. Publishing and editing your article takes time. Emailing you back takes time. Time costs money. Your article itself may or may not be valuable. If your backlink is to have any value, you’ll want to write a good article. If you want to publish an article on our website, here are your costs. We charge everyone the same price. If publishing an article on our website is important to you, then you’ll need to pay the fee. Otherwise, just publish the article on your own website.
