Bitcoin Experts On Steemit: Would You Like To Get Paid For Writing About Bitcoin For A Prominent Financial Website?

So I know there are quite a few bitcoin experts here on Steemit, and this post is definitely for them!

I am a contributor to the investment site seekingalpha.com. The site is basically crowd-sourced stock market research and it fairly prominent in the US. Anyone can submit fresh research to the site and they will pay if they accept it, and your articles earn residual income for every view they get. Traditionally most of the articles focus on stocks and funds that trade on US exchanges. Well some big news was just announced, and they will officially accept investment articles on bitcion, treating at they would any other currency.

Here is a quote from one of the site's editors explaining the recent decision:

We would like to formally invite authors to contribute articles on Bitcoin to Seeking Alpha. In the past we had asked that these pieces focus on how publicly traded companies would harness this new technology and how it would effect investors in those. We were seeing reader demand grow over the last few months and have published some submissions as a trial to confirm interest. We believe this is an area where readers will appreciate further discussion and explanation. Going forward, we will treat Bitcoin as we would any other currency article.

A quick recap for our currency article expectations:

We are looking for articles that offer a fundamental outlook for a currency and its future as a long-term investment. This discussion can be furthered by technical analysis of the short-term outlook as well. However, the core of each thesis should offer a long-term and fundamental outlook. Ideally, the discussion will also incorporate a currency position's role in a total portfolio's risk and return profile.

For Bitcoin in particular, discussion will often cover the underlying supply and demand activity and occasionally the psychology that drives buyer and seller behavior. As we have in the past, we will continue to publish well sourced articles that cover Bitcoin as an emerging technology.

The majority of contributors on seekingalpha already work in the financial sector, but ANYONE can write for them as long as they find the work acceptable. I think this a great opportunity for all of the very intelligent crypto fans on here who have anaylis to share in the area of bitcoin. The more you write for the site, the more residual views you will get as you build a following. Currently the rate for articles is $35 USD once they accept it, and then one penny per view of the article after that(desktop views only however, mobile views don't count).

I urge anyone who has bitcoin expertise to give this a try. There's nothing to lose, if the editors don't accept your first article, they will provide feedback and tell you what changes would need to be made before it can be accepted, so this gives you a chance to work on it. They won't just reject it and not tell you why, they want to work with contributors. I can sum of the basics of what they look for in each article, and that is analysis, depth, opinion, and a very well articulated thesis(this is important). The fact that this site now wants coverage of bitcoin just proves how popular bitcoin is becoming. Good luck to you all! Let me know if any of you end up giving this a try.
