Payment details

[Admin]

The payment ranges from 200 kes- 350 kes for a 400- 500 word article. This is how our system works;
   1. First starter get 200 kes per 400 word article ( provided you have experience in article writing, your rating at this point is 2 stars)

   2. After writing 30 articles, editors will rate your work. ( During this time you will not be given any work, the reviewing of your article may take between 2-4 days).

   3. If your rating increases (to 3 stars) the pay per article will increase to 250 kes

   4. After writing 5 articles, your articles are then reviewed and if successful the pay increases to 300kes ( at this point your rating is 4 stars)

   5. Step 2 is repeated and if successful the payment will increase to 350kes ( your rating increases to 5 stars, the maximum)
Writers rated with 5 stars are entitled to receive monthly bonuses (sometimes). In addition, they can ask for  an advance of their salary.
Writers rated with two stars are paid two times per month, that is, after every two weeks.

Writers rated with a rating of more than 2 stars are paid every 15th and 30th of every month.

Payment is made through mobile money transfer systems, Orange, Yu, Airtel and Safaricom. Additionally, writers with a 5 star rating can get their salary deposited to their bank accounts (currently supporting Equity bank) upon their request.

Generally, here are the summarized rates;
2 star rating= 0.5 cents/word
3 star rating=0.625 cents/word
4 star rating=0.75 cents/word
5 star rating=0.875 cents/word

Remember: a 200 word article should range between 200 - 300 words. Thus, payment for a 2 star rating is 0.5*200=100kes, 3 star rating is 0.625 *200=125kes etc etc
              a 300 word article should range between 300 - 400 words. Thus, payment for a 2 star rating is 0.5*300=150kes, 3 star rating is 0.625 *300=187kes etc etc
              a 400 word article should range between 400 - 500 words. Thus, payment for a 2 star rating is 0.5*400=200kes, 3 star rating is 0.625 *400=250kes etc etc
              a 500 word article should range between 500 - 600 words. Thus, payment for a 2 star rating is 0.5*500=250kes, 3 star rating is 0.625 *500= 313kes---approx. 320 kes etc etc
