I get money for writing about drums for Drumdojo?

Yes you get money; but it's not from Drumdojo.

Huh?

Drumdojo provides the drumming context, article hosting, bandwidth and crucially, the visitors to your article. It's Google who pays you money.

Why would google pay me to write about drums?

Google Adsense can be applied to any website that meets its terms. Your article's webpage will have Google Adsense text adverts on it (see right for example). These text ads generate revenue and we split the ad positioning on the page between us. As an Adsense Publisher, the income goes directly to you from Google. Drumdojo is simply the bodbus that brings the visitors to see your work.

Can I just blag any old stuff or copy it from a website?

• NO. All material you submit must be either your own words or submitted with the consent of the owner.
• You will be asked to acknowledge this when you submit work
• Plagiarists and work found to be plagiarised will be removed from the dojo and all other associated sites.

What Drumdojo needs in an article

• This is a bodhran encyclopaedia.
• It needs to be clear if your piece is fact or opinion.
• You must add to the store of knowledge, not pitch your product
• Facts should be verifiable and actions repeatable.
• Subject duplication is not acceptable. Either:
  • pick a new subject; or
  • go into greater detail
• Drumdojo has high quality standards for content but also for spelling, grammar, punctuation and presentation.
• Poorly structured, researched, presented or inappropriate pieces cannot be used. On occasion we may return the work to the writer for amendment
• The editor's decision is final

Visual

• All work is presented on site in the prevailing house style of Drumdojo
• Images should be full-frame - lots of detail.
• Images should not be heavily adjusted.
• images in articles are positioned by Drumdojo

You can also be paid by people watching your videos if you upload them at Revver

All videos uploaded have a small advertisement added to the end.

When it is watched to its conclusion an advertisement appears and payment is triggered.

Payment to you is 50% of the advertising revenue received for that ad, so use video as much as you like and embed it in your page.

As with the Google adverts, I am unable to predict the exact amounts earned but it won't buy you a yacht in Caymans.
