As well as read Coca-Cola’s Letter to Share Holders about the future of the company and their responses to the current cities enacting the tax. I spent more time looking through Coca-Cola’s financial reports, understanding how the current 8 cities who passed a “soda tax” have affected both their tax growth, the decline in soda sales and future growth of the tax. I revised my article once more and was accepted! I started going finance ninja and pulling stats. My article should cover how exactly is A is affecting B and how it relates to C. So they wanted to get in the weeds with how exactly is the Soda Tax directly affecting Coca-Cola and how is the company responding to the growing health concerns.Īll illusions that publishing to Seeking Alpha was easy, were now shattered. However, they wanted more on how it specifically affects Coca-Cola. SERIOUSLY! Was this the editor for Berkshire Hathaway? I had over ten sources and a well-written piece covering an interesting topic. I sourced every thought with hyperlinks and fleshed out opinions replacing them with facts. I narrowed down my focus to the health movement and how the Soda Tax is affecting the soda industry. So I narrowed my focus more and concentrated on one of the reasons why I wanted to abandon Coca-Cola. I’m pretty sure if I ever went back to school to get my MBA, I’d submit all my articles to Seeking Alpha before my professor. I have to admit, they at least read the article close enough to give me valuable feedback. They gave me some great feedback though, so I revised my article and tried again.
I only tried again because I made it a goal to get paid for an article in Income Reports.
I only tried again I made it a goal to get paid for an article in my May Income Report. I honestly wasn’t expecting a rejection and it kind of hurt. HOLY CRAP, that is not easy, they flat out rejected the article. Well, it was published to the mini-blog no problem, that was easy! However, I discovered it’s MUCH harder to get published in their exclusive journal where they pay-per-article. I submitted it to the “mini-blog” AND their exclusive article submission platform that actually paid per article. I spewed out some opinions, ran up about 600 words and hit submit.
My first article was titled “3 Reasons Why Coke is Basically Just Backwash Now”. After recently selling off a majority of my portfolio to pay off my car, I sold my position in Coca-Cola first. I went into this thinking it was easy (like the other bloggers said) so I spent a little time on my first every article.

One is like a blog where you sign up and they’ll publish any article you write to your own “mini-blog” and the other is for exclusive articles that Seeking Alpha will pay you for. Seeking Alpha has TWO different publishing platforms. So I decided to start small (FYI, it’s not that small). I even heard it was easy to get published on Seeking Alpha. I heard other bloggers talk about writing for Seeking Alpha so I looked into it. You shouldn’t expect to be published in the New York Times with your first article. Why Write for Seeking Alpha?Īnyone who is first starting out as a freelance writer should start with a small publication, getting their feet wet and then lead into larger publications. Seeking Alpha is an online financial journal for investment research covering stocks, bonds, assets classes, ETFs, and investment strategies. Here are the blueprints to How I published my first article on Seeking Alpha and got paid. I started out on the financial website Seeking Alpha since it’s commonplace now for me to write/talk about finance. I wanted to branch out, stretch my creative muscle and financial know-how writing for a larger publication that pays per article ( here’s a list I made of 20+ websites that pay you for writing). Over the last 2 years, I’ve done SO much writing for this blog.
