Writing Guidelines
- Credit : We respect individual work and if your idea is derivative of some one else work, feel free to give credit. Same goes to images which you use on your post.
- Screenshot + Video : Images speaks thousand words. Do add relevant images to make your post more visually appealing.
- Self promotion : Your bio will be displayed at the end of the post, so don’t add any promotional text in the post. If you already wrote a post on the topic you are writing now, you are allowed to link to your post.
- Copyright : We respect everyone work. In case we found out that you have been copying post from somewhere. This will lead to instant ban of your account.
- Comment : Comments are the conversation and when your article is published. Try to answer any query related to your article via comments. This will give you more exposure and also help people.
- Post Images – Include images to make your point clearer or show a screenshot of what you’re talking about, make sure your post is not just a wall of text.
- Code – Code should be wrapped in [language name] [/language name] tags.Replace the language name with whatever language it is.
- Headlines – The headline should get to the point, explaining exactly what the article is about and draw readers in. Don’t go over the top with your claims in it.
- Explain The Pros and Cons – If you’re teaching readers to do something new, it’s normally worth explaining they would actually want to do it. And if you’re listing the plus sides of anything, listing the downsides as well makes your opinion much more trustworthy.
- Be short and Sweet – Try to get to the point quickly. Short paragraphs are better than long ones. If you can say something in 10 words, then do, don’t waste any extra.
- Stay formal – Avoid using slang language or smileys in the article. The post definitely shouldn’t read like an encyclopaedia, but some level of formality will help.
- Use formatting – Use bold to highlight the most important parts of your paragraphs, but only use it on a few words in a paragraph. And bulleted lists are a great way to list a set of points or resources so use them whenever you can.
- If you are using some images in posts, make sure you optimize them, and never upload bitmap (BMP) images.
- Fill up the tags field with appropriate tags.
- Choose appropriate category.
- Fill in the “SEO plugin fields”
- Make sure there are no spelling mistakes and grammatical errors and submit it for review.
Here are some other points that will reduce the probability of your post getting accepted
- your post looks like a sales pitch for your product or website
- your post covers a topic that we have already covered in the past
- your post covers a topic that has been covered extensively by other bloggers in the past
- your post contains many grammatical or spelling mistakes

I wrote my first blog post today, and hope it was up to the mark.
Wanted to know, that how can I know, that how much did I earn for every blog post I write
Thanks
We are working on developing a interface where you can check your earnings.
Until then, we are publishing a round up of posts with the amount paid for each post every 15days.
Ok great that you are developing something in interest of writers, just wanted to know, that every post of mine that is published, is eligible for a minimum of $3, correct?
Am i right? I wanted to know this in order to continue writing more informative articles, so please reply soon!
Hi Satish,
I have joined TechBU….It is really wonderful to get payed in two ways – short term and long term (By Adsense). I am looking forward to write my first post. One question though: can I add my blog link at the end of the post as my bio?
You can include it in your bio, not in the post.
Hello! I joined your site yesterday and already submitted one Article. Hope you like it…
Hello admin,
i just wanted to know more about that extra $3 that you were giving that is it awarded to every article or we have to qualify some quality check to get it.
moreover what are those points in our profiles that keep growing with every post (sitewidepoints)
and are tutorials kind of things like that of photoshop or review of a photoshop plugin allowed.
Each post is reviewed manually, and the amount is decided based on the quality of the post. Every published article gets at least 3$ in most cases.
Those points mean nothing at the moment, we are testing a plugin.
Yes, photoshop tutorials and plugin reviews are allowed.
what is the minimum payout?? and how can we get that money….i mean payment methods??
Minimum payout is 15$, we pay through paypal and if you are in India, you can request a transfer to your bank account.
wher can i get the payment button?? because i have accumulated 15$ inmy account and i want a payment in my paypal account
All your posts are copy pastes from other sites, none of them are accepted. If you continue writing such posts, you will be permanently banned from the site.

Hello Satish,
Duplicate content is not good, so posts written on TechBU can not be published else where.
