[Ipg-smz] Payment Schemes and Incentives

[Liam Kelly]

I'm working with the CEO of *BTCManager* at the moment and we're discussing
payment schemes for writers. Thought this group would have some sage advice
on the matter.

So, we are thinking of three different models:

- A flat rate per article, not word count. Writers can write however much
or as little they like.
- A flat rate per month, but writers must write x number of articles per
month.
- Combination of the two. Writers are paid a flat rate per month for x
number of articles, but once this threshold is crossed move over to a flat
rate per article.

Personally, I think the third scheme is likely the best. It guarantees a
steady flow of articles each month, and writers are incentivized to go out
and catch more stories.

Any comments (even disapproving ones) are highly welcome.

Cheers,

Liam
