Frequently Asked Questions

Articles under the "Editor's Choice" section on our homepage are articles that our editors consider to be very informational, well written and definitely worth reading. The articles under our "TalkMarkets Exclusives" section on our homepage are articles that are exclusive content to TalkMarkets. At TalkMarkets, being exclusive means that they either appear only on TalkMarkets or appeared on our site at least 48 hours prior to it being released on any other site, and if it is released on other sites, then it must mention that the article first appeared on TalkMarkets.

No, you do not! Your personal blog is where you can post any personal ideas, market commentary or information. Anything you post on your personal blog is visible to all other contributors and users and they are able to comment; however, you are able to disable comments on your blog posts by visiting the "My Personal Blog" section of the drop-down that appears from clicking your name and clicking on the middle icon (a red slash through a comment bubble) for the corresponding post. From here you can also delete or edit a post. You are also shown how many people have viewed your post. Members may not use your personal blog for any commercial purposes.

One of the main differences are the benefits that being a contributor entails; contributors are offered exposure to many sites such as Bloomberg and Reuters and they also receive equity in return for writing, recruiting other readers and writers, and generating more pageviews (whether that's on an article you wrote or someone else did). Publishing to your personal blog does not provide these same benefits. We urge all of our readers to apply to be contributors.

You can actually apply to become a contributor. In order to do so, click on the "Apply To Be A Contributor" link at the very bottom of the webpage in the footer. This will redirect you to another page where you can enter in your specifications and an article you would like to publish, along with a few other details. Once satisfied with your work, click "Save and Submit for Editorial Review" and this will send your article to our editorial team to review and subsequently post if they feel the quality of the article is appropriate. You may be asked for samples of previously published work, and/or to publish to your personal page in order to demonstrate some expertise and readability.

Nothing! There is no cost to participate and in fact, contributors receive compensation in equity every time they submit an article, refer other users and writers, and generate traffic by increasing our page views. Contributors also receive additional exposure as our headlines appear on sites such as Bloomberg, Reuters and CNN.

TalkMarkets only issues equity to contributors, so if you are interested in earning equity, consider applying to become a contributor.

TalkMarkets offers equity through multiple activities; for example, contributors receive equity for sending us page views regardless if it's on their content or another contributor's. Simply posting the link to an article on any social media or referring other contributors to TalkMarkets will help the contributor accrue equity. If you submit an exclusive article, we allocate a 50% equity premium. Another great benefit of contributing to TalkMarkets is exposure; our headlines appear on many major sites such as Yahoo Finance, Investopedia and Reuters.

If you submitted your article but it wasn't published, check your personal blog. If our editorial team thinks that your submission doesn't align with TalkMarkets' range of topics, they will redirect your submission to become a post on your personal blog instead. If your article is neither published nor moved to your personal blog, please contact our editorial team ([email protected]) for further details.

Yes, however, for TalkMarkets we require that exclusive articles appear on TalkMarkets at least 48 hours prior to the article appearing anywhere else; any publication delay on our end does not impact the length of this embargo period. After the 48 hours are up, you are allowed to publish your article anywhere else; however, somewhere in your post, it must say that the article initially appeared on TalkMarkets.

Yes, it can! If you currently have a personal blog that features your content but is behind a paywall (i.e. only available to paying subscribers) and you choose to submit those articles to TalkMarkets, we will consider those to be exclusive as well.

Our definition of exclusive is quite different from the traditional definition. An exclusive at TalkMarkets is either only released on our site or released to us at least 48 hours before it is featured elsewhere; any publication delay on our end does not affect this embargo period. After the 48 hours is up, the article is free to appear anywhere; however, the post must mention that the article appeared first on TalkMarkets.

We consider this required for submissions. By hyperlinking symbols in an article, users will be able to click and get all the extra financial data associated with that symbol.

1. Select the symbol (Ticker) in the article
2. Navigate to the "Stock auto-link" option and click on it
3. The symbol (Ticker) should now be hyperlinked

If the symbol is missing from our database, send us an email at [email protected] to let us know. We'll get it added quickly.

To embed a podcast, visit the page where you post your article and click on the "Content" box. In the top left corner of this box is a button that reads "Source". Clicking on this button will change the content box to HTML mode. You can then paste the appropriate audio embed code with your podcast URL. Click on the source button again to see the embedded podcast.
