If I write an article,can I get paid??

No...There are a few of us on the list first I think..Jim

If by paid you mean admiration, respect and feedback from modellers all over the world - sure :-)

Now, that I like...Jim

well said guys of course you cant get payed for posting on here whatever next !!!!
surely you should be glad to have such skills and talent to be in a posistion to share with others not as good as yourself
just my opinion

Why do I have a strange feeling?????

why do you have a funny feeling grumpy??

i like your entrapaneuring (sp) spirit, but it just doesnt work like that here, look at it this way, all the advice,tips,fun and camaraderie you get from everyone else on site is priceless anyway.
and a belated welcome to the site!

Hmm, Grumpy keeps a tally now... I wonder.. is he (are they) getting more sophisticated?

Cheers

Like AndyD said - you'll receive payment - just not the kind you can 'cash in' for a new kit....

Sometimes I've written contents for the site, I never thought to ask for any kind of compensation but the comments of the Armorama's fellas that in my view pay much more than money. Sites like Armorama, are extremely costly to keep alive (servers, bandwidth, etc.) and quite likely the money coming in from sponsorships and User's subscriptions are never enough to pay the bills at the end of the month.
On top of that the spirit of this kind of sites is to build up a real community, where Users will to contribute their own contentets to help the site's growth...

As already been mentioned, you dont get paid in monetary sense, just pure hard satisfaction that you had contributed to the community in one way.

The last 2 articles i submitted were mainly to promote the LHS in my area so if anyone from this community ever came to Auckland, they have a ready resource and hopefully with full pockets.

Do it for the love mate.

Don't get me wrong I love money as much as the next guy but over here at Armorama the receiving comes from the giving. Writing articles for me is putting back in a very small way all the enormous knowledge I got for free. Its a unique concept but then again Armorama is a unique community. That you can't equate to money.

If by paid you mean admiration, respect and feedback from modellers all over the world - sure

!@#$%^& I didn't even get that much for my last article on Modeling Madness.

Yes, in beer and pretzels...virtual that is :-)

We have pretzels now??

It's a very small bit to give back to what I have received here......a wealth of knowledge!!! None better than ArmoramA. Period!

Well said Mike.

I believe the going rate for articles is $0.00. There is an extra $0.00 if you submit color pics.

Like that one! :-)

ROFLMAO! No Mate! I gladly pay them to let me humbly use this site! :-) :-) :-) :-)

Ooh, you're funny! You should be on TV! :-) :-) :-)

Oh boy. Here we go.......another flame war

Let me pull up a nice comfy chair........get an ice-cold beer out of the fridge, and watch this thread unravel all night :-)

You have entered a NO SPIN ZONE

To be honest, you eventually do get some sort of compensation as a reward for doing reviews. When we started the site, we bought our own kits and reviewed it ourselves.

As the site grew, we got noticed by manufacturers and distributors. They started providing the site administrators with samples for review. The samples have become sort of an incentive for folks to do reviews.

Of course, the folks getting the review samples are ones who previously spent hundreds of dollars on kits they have purchased and reviewed for the site out of their own pockets. Eight of the 25 review items I have done for the site were review samples.

Personally, I find some of the flippant remarks here not to be the type to inspire members to want to submit articles or reviews.

Not a flame war... more a light toasting.

Reichsfox has asked a perfectly good question. And to be honest it may not be that far off when we do pay a small amount for high-quality feature submissions. But definately not right now (or up till now anyways).

Cheers,
Jim
