How to Publish Your
Articles on Property Investor Network
This document is the editorial rules to submitting and
publishing articles to Property Investor Network. Submission of materials
indicates acceptance of these rules and constitutes the entire agreement
between the “author” and Property Investor Network in regards with articles
submissions. These rules are in addition to the site Terms and Conditions.
Submission of any articles also indicates acceptance of this agreement.
Property Investor Network accepts article submissions from
third parties. The articles must be related to property investing and of help

royalties of any type for articles submitted.
Property Investor Network has preference to the following
subjects as a guide line:
-Property
Market Updates – Articles about market updates must carry proof of what is
being written in the article. For example an estate agency can write an update
of what they are experiencing in the rental market in a certain area. All
statements must be substantiated (e.g. we found that X % of our tenants are
extending their contracts, we found that the vacancy in A area is increasing in
the last 6 months by X%). Otherwise the article can be written to fall under an
Opinion Article (see below).
-Informational
Articles – Informational articles are articles that educate property
investors about subjects related to property investing. This can be anything from
how to get a Certificate of Compliance, Conveyancing and any other subjects
relate to property that can help a property investor.
-Opinion
Articles – Such articles are the opinion of property investors or industry
specialists about matters related to property investing. This can be anything
from an opinion about a change in a law, or rule, to opinion about the market,
systems of investing, etc.
The main thing to remember when submitting articles to Property
Investor Network is our preference to QUALITY,
not quantity. Though you can submit as many articles as you wish, we will only
