We want people to know how Novu can work with different platforms and systems worldwide. That can be any other open-source library, a SaaS API, or your own startup. ANYTHING WITH A USE-CASE OR INTEGRATION WITH AN EXISTING PLATFORM WILL BE GREAT! 🤩
3. Write an Outline:
After you pick a topic to work on, you will write a short outline of your article and send it to us. This helps us eliminate any misunderstandings from the beginning and agree on the article structure.
If the article outlines a gap between your knowledge and the topic, we will provide advice and guidelines for writing. If the gap is significant, we might ask you to choose a different topic as per our needs and your expertise.
4. Work on the Blog Post:
After you’ve been assigned a topic, you can start working on it but before you do, read our Style Guide For Blogs.
You’ll be sent a Notion document to write the article in. This is important for our writing process as we can later give you comments on your article and ensure that it is managed better.
If you prefer writing with another tool and then pasting it into Notion, that’s fine too! What’s important is that the final draft is pasted into the Notion document.
5. Review Blog Post:
Once you’re done, please email sumit@novu.co to inform him that you’re done with the post. Our team will then review it. If any changes are required from your side, we’ll leave comments on the Notion document or contact you if further actions are needed.
Your article will probably undergo an editing process where we make changes either to polish the writing or for SEO purposes.
6. Publish Blog Post:
Approved Posts:
Once the blog post has been reviewed, all changes necessary have been made, and the post has been approved for posting, we’ll assign a publish date for your blog post. You’ll be asked to provide details about yourself to feature on our website if you’re a new writer.
If this blog post is cross-posted to other platforms like DEV.to or Medium, we’ll ask you to publish it under the Novu organization on the agreed date.
Other Posts:
Some posts might undergo the entire writing and review process, but if our team finds that they do not fit our blog or posting schedule, we’ll ask you to post it on your accounts on DEV.to. You’ll still get paid for it as you would for approved posts.
7. Get Paid!
Once the blog post is published, you can submit an invoice to get paid. Please refer to the FAQ section to learn how to submit an invoice.
❓FAQ
Please read our Style Guide before you write, to learn about the guidelines your post needs to follow.
A tutorial guides the reader in a step-by-step fashion to learn ‘how’ to do something.For example - How to create your newsletter using MailChimp.
An article on the other hand, is usually a blog post that promotes or explains a certain idea to the reader. It can be a low-level idea or a high-level one. For example, an article that explains the differences between MailChimp and Novu.
Our blog posts are generally about Novu, its integration with different platforms and its use cases for notifications. However, if you have an idea that you think is good and doesn’t fall under these topics, then please let us know by sending an email to sumit@novu.co.
No, blog posts should be unique. If we detect any plagiarism, your blog post will be rejected or you’ll be asked to rewrite it.
If you face any issues or, for personal reasons, are unable to deliver an article by its deadline, then please contact sumit@novu.co to discuss and get an alternative deadline.
We are generally lenient with this as we contact you and try to figure out why you missed the deadline. However, if we find no communication from your side or if you fail to make any progress before the deadline, we’ll remove your assignment from the topic. This will also result in no payment.
If your article is approved after the review process, it will be posted on our blog and our accounts across different platforms. You’ll have to raise and submit an invoice post which, you'll get paid.
If your article is not approved after the review process, it means that we’ll ask you to post it on your own accounts across platforms or your own blog.
If your article is declined, there are typically two reasons:
- The article doesn’t fit our requirements at the moment. In this case, we’ll ask you to post it from your account on DEV.to for example. You’ll still get paid in this case.
- There is another problem with the article (plagiarism for example). In this case, we decline it completely and no payment will be issued for the same.
There’s no limit! If you have ideas of your own or think you’re a good fit for one of the ideas we’re looking to cover, please email sumit@novu.co.
Through bank transfer after submitting an invoice.
Once your article is published, you can send an invoice to get paid. You can use any invoice generator to create an invoice, but make sure that the invoice includes the following information:
- Our company details: NOTI-FIRE APPS LTD 516509775
- Your payment info:
- Full name and address
- Bank account name and address
- SWIFT code or Routing
- Account number
- The name of the article you’re invoicing: for every invoice to ensure it has the mutually agreed upon amount.
