Submission Guidelines

  1. Inspirational in nature- Please check out the Our Inner Source home page and our mission statement. Read what we are about, and write an article that fits in.

  2. The articles that you submit must be your own work - You may not submit articles written by other authors and the content must be unique. No rebranded articles allowed, you must be the sole copyright holder for each article you submit. Articles written by a ghost writer are perfectly acceptable as long as they are being used only by yourself.

  3. By submitting your articles to Our Inner Source, you grant us the right to publish your articles - We may publish your article anywhere on our website, blog, or syndicate through RSS. We may also change where it appears, including the category, at any time.

  4. No affiliate links! - The articles that you submit to Our Inner Source should not contain affiliate links. It is acceptable, however, to mention the URL's of helpful sites or your own website which redirects to the recommended affiliate product.

  5. Submitting your articles to Our Inner Source does not entitle you to financial compensation of any kind - You will not receive compensation from Our Inner Source.

  6. Submitting an article in no ways guarantees inclusion on Our Inner Source- We reserve the right to reject an article submission for any reason.

  7. Articles must be spellchecked and proof read for grammatical errors prior to submitting - Do not submit articles filled with spelling errors and bad grammar. We do monitor article submissions and we will reject content that doesn't meet this requirement.

  8. If you choose to use Images, graphics and video - Be Careful!

    An image is any graphic, video footage, photograph, cartoon, drawing, or artwork. By international copyright law, it belongs to the artist who created the artwork. Only they can give permission to reprint the work, and by law, it can only be used with permission.

    Yet, many think that if it is on the web, it can be used, freely and whenever and wherever anyone wants. Not true.

    With flickr, however, there is a loophole. You can use the image, with credit, as long as the link is to the image on flickr and not copied onto your site, and only with images that have such permissions.

    Editorial cartoons and photographs, especially nature images, are among the more popular images reposted across the web without permission. These can be hard to track down and prosecute, but it has been done.

    If you choose to use an image with your article, get permission. Look through their website or blog for their copyright policy and reprint permission policy. It is usually found on a specific copyright or policies page, or in the About or Contact Pages. A simple email or posting through a comment on their website or blog will usually get you a response fairly quickly. Many will say yes, many will say no, and some will ask for compensation. All will ask for a link back to their site or blog.

    To find out if your images have been stolen and used without permission, search Google Images to see if your image is listed and who is linking to it. Also check your server report to find out if someone is hotlinking, linking to an image on your site using your bandwidth.

  9. For clarity, you retain all of your ownership rights in your User Submissions. However, by submitting graphics/videos you hereby grantOur Inner Source a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Submissions in connection with the Our Inner Source You also hereby grant each user of the Our Inner Source Website a non-exclusive license to access your User Submissions through the Website, and to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform such User Submissions as permitted through the functionality of the Website and under these Terms of Service.
