ASSIGNMENTS
At any time, you can browse our Assignment Desk and claim opportunities to create content for one or more Yahoo! sites, or one of our partner sites. Many assignments offer Up-front Payments, typically ranging from $2 to $25 (although some partner opportunities may pay up to $100), Sometimes, assignments will be targeted specifically to you or a group of contributors; in these cases, you'll receive an email alert if you have enabled that option in your email preferences. Be sure to check the Assignment Desk often and keep your profile information up-to-date to maximize your opportunities!
UP-FRONT OFFERS
If you don't find a topic that interests you in our Assignment Desk, you can always submit content on a topic of your choice. Some of what you submit will be eligible for Up-front Payments. When you select this option, we'll review your submitted content and may send you an offer before we publish it. Offers typically range from $2 to $15. Be sure to read our Up-front Payment guidelines before choosing this option, and please note that the review process could take up to 10 business days to complete.
PERFORMANCE PAYMENTS BETA
In addition to any up-front payment, your published content is also eligible for unlimited monthly Performance Payments based on the amount of traffic it receives! Performance Payments were initially created for Associated Content from Yahoo!, but we're gradually rolling them out to other sites across the Yahoo! network. If you have content on more than one of the Yahoo! sites that offer Performance Payments, you'll earn a separate payment for each!
Performance rates vary by website, and are based on a wide variety of factors unique to each individual site. Click here to find out which Yahoo! sites are currently offering Performance Payments, and what the current rates are.
A note on republication: All content submitted into the Yahoo! Contributor Network may be published on more than one Yahoo! website. When content published on one Yahoo! site is "republished" to one or more additional Yahoo! site(s) for which Performance Payments are enabled, you'll earn revenue for each version of your content at the pay rate tied to each respective site!
Our top contributors earn hundreds (in some cases, thousands!) of dollars per month in Performance Payments. With practice and dedication, so can you!
Who is eligible to be paid?
You must be at least 18 years old and a citizen or legal resident of the United States to be eligible for payment. (If you are not a citizen or legal resident of the U.S., you are not eligible for payment due to U.S. tax regulations. However, you may become eligible for payments if you are accepted into the Featured Contributor Program, or if you are recruited for a specific project.)
Occasionally special promotions and bonuses are offered to contributors. In order to participate, you must be a citizen or legal resident of the United States, and your account must be in good standing (meaning you have not violated our Master License Agreement or our Terms of Service, including opening multiple accounts or submitting copyright-infringing content).
Once you reach $500 in earnings, you must provide the Yahoo! Contributor Network with a completed U.S. W-9 form before receiving further payments. You will receive an email from us with detailed instructions on submitting this form once you have passed the threshold. You can also learn how to submit the form here.
