General 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.

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.

Submitting Articles / Blog Posts
Open "My Content" to create a blog post or submit an article. Members may write and save private blog drafts; blog publishing is available to approved contributors.

If your submitted article was not published, please contact our editorial team at [email protected] for details. Article submissions are reviewed separately from private blog drafts.
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.
