Collis Ta'eedHave something to say about freelancing? After three months of being closed, Skellie has asked me to open up contributions for FreelanceSwitch once more to bring in some new blood!

I have a couple questions, please: 1) Do you accept reprints that are over two years old? 2) What rights do you buy?
Thanks in advance.

Would you consider texts about freelance translators?
I mean, I’ve been working for a while on the internationalization business as a freelancer. I could write something about it.

Sorry, again me.
I’ve noticed that you changed a bit the contribution requirements. In the past articles couldn’t be publish anywhere else for six months.
Is now the author authorized to publish the same article in their own blog? Or could you submit an article already published?

Hey Pablo! Just to clarify we do need posts to be exclusive here, at least for some time. I’ll update that page!
In terms of what sort of content, I’ll leave that to Skellie to decide

Thanks Collins. It is clear.
I have a couple of ideas. I’ll try to write them ASAP.

I’m glad to hear you’re accepting writers. Already sent in a submission. However, I wasn’t aware about the requirement for exclusive articles. I’m happy to do that as well. Is it alright if I send in another submission with a unique article?
P.S. I coach over 100 marketers to be better consultants and freelancers - when I told them about this site they went bonkers. They love it! You’ve got a great thing here.

Just an update to say that 90% of contributions and ideas have been really outstanding so far and I’ve already seen some ideas I never would have thought of.
We have received quite a few submissions from people asking for us to republish things they’ve written elsewhere which, as Collis said above, we can’t do due to Google penalties for duplicate content and so on.

@Skellie, is there a specific time when the contributed articles will start flowing on the site? or a cut-off point for those who submitted to know if their article made the cut or not?
