Read Elephant, Pay good Writers.

Every read, heart, share & comment gets writers one step closer to being paid.

Elephant was one of the first major sites to pay our best, consistent writers. But it was always hard to measure “best.” Now, we are introducing weekly payouts for the top 7 articles on Elephant based on their Ecosystem Score—80% determined by our readers’ actions: reads, hearts, comments, shares, and 20% determined by our select editor’s picks (so that mission/question can balance reader favorites/popularity).

See a story you like or a writer you love? Show ’em some love by boosting their score—and they just might become our highest paid writer this week. Our next set of winners will be chosen at 12:01 a.m. tonight.
