  Step 3: Use the Editor to create your article. Please make sure the following fields are completed:

    • Image size: 820x420 px (max 1MB)
    • Save image as .jpg
    • Add Image Attribution (please provide us with the image credits AND the copyright license if you are not the copyright owner. If you are the copyright owner of the image, please send an email to the Product Manager of Sponsored Articles, confirming this fact.)

Note: If you choose NOT to include an image and leave this field empty, we will choose an image for you. If you choose to submit an image, please check out our multimedia guidelines to have an idea about the general style of images we publish.

  • Write Your Article: Either write your article directly in the text-editor or copy and paste your article into the respective field. (The ideal length is between 1000-1500 words.)

Note: If you choose to add in-text images, you must either be the copyright owner of the images or be able to provide us with the image credits and copyright license. To do this, please send an email confirming you are the copyright owner or provide the copyright license and image credits to the PM of Sponsored Articles.

  • Tick the checkbox to confirm that you are the copyright owner of the article and the included images.
