Why do my formatting changes not work when I update my post?
If you've copied and pasted text directly from Word your email package or another Word Processor - some of the formatting information may be embedded in your code.
The best way to avoid this happening is to always paste "plain text" into the WYSIWYG editor and then format it from there.
To ensure you're pasting plain text...
1. Select and Copy (CTRL+C) the original text from Word etc.
2. Paste (CTRL+V) this text into a plain text editor such as NotePad or NoteTab Light
3. Select and Copy (CTRL+C) the text from the text editor
4. Paste (CTRL+V) this unformatted text into the WYSIWYG editor -

2. Paste (CTRL+V) this text into a plain text editor such as NotePad or NoteTab Light

How can I promote my own products to members?
Be sure to include all the links to your main business and products on your own profile page.
You'll be tagged as the author of all content you create so visitors can find you easily.
If you have a product to launch a new book out or an event you want to us to promote to the members then get in touch with us and we'll plan a proper sendout to our lists. If you can offer a special Publishing Academy Exclusive (ie discount) too then that will improve responsiveness. By allowing us to promote you to the members we your offer will benefit from our endorsement and increase response rates.

Why do you insist that new content I provide for Publishing Academy remains Exclusive to Publishing Academy for 3 months?
Publishing Academy is a paid for members site and so new content cannot be available anywhere else for free. If we didn't apply this exclusivity rule then members would have difficulty understanding why they should pay for content and your recurring income would stop.
However we expect you to create really fantastic content as part of your work with Publishing Academy and we know how valuable it is to be able to promote your expertise far and wide. That's why we release full rights for you to resell or give away for free the content you've produced after 90 days.
-
How often will I get paid?
To ensure we account for any cancellations or errors and to ensure we're as efficient as possible we pay our experts - with a breakdown of new members cancellations and sales every 90 days.
-
Can I use other members articles on my own website?
Yes - but with some conditions...
1. If a member's content is still under its 90 day exclusivity period (check the date) then it cannot be used.
2. After this 90 day exclusivity period please use the "Share" links or "Tell A Friend" tool to share the article.
3. If you'd like to copy and paste the article then be sure to credit the original author and include a live link to www.publishingacademy.com in the article. -
What is the minimum I need to do each month again?
Publishing Academy Experts are asked to provide a minimum of two (2) new (and exclusive to PublishingAcademy.com for 3 months) content contributions each month.
Ideally these should include 1 video/audio (min 3 minutes) and 1 text (min 600 words) item.We highly recommend adding more content than this each month (and beyond the 2 mandatory pieces it doesn't have to be exclusive) so include any blog posts you think are particularly good and keep recording and videoing yourself and adding to the site to raise your profile and increase visibility.
