Set acceptance standards

Define topics, quality requirements, prohibited categories, editing rights and disclosure rules before taking orders.

Price with the work involved

Consider editing, publishing, administration and audience value rather than copying another site's rate.

Protect the publication

Reject irrelevant, thin or misleading content even when it pays.

Marketplace route

Platforms such as iCopify, Adsy, Collaborator and WhitePress also support publisher-side monetization models, subject to current terms.
