I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about an excellent service we offer, which has already been used by a few members, our
ATS Premium content initiative, and expand on the idea a bit more.
While we have a phenomenal amount of impressive content authored by our excellent members, the majority of our discussion threads are inspired either by current events, or material found elsewhere online. The ATS Premium initiative is designed to inspire our members to create original, hard-hitting material that draws broad attention to important issues. For example, the ATS Premium article on the missing nuclear warhead achieved phenomenal international attention, gained more than a million views in 30 days, and is our most-linked thread ever.
We've Had Some Great Submissions
Over the past few weeks, we've had some phenomenal submissions come our way with fantastic ideas and great writing. Unfortunately, it breaks our heart to report that they're not exactly what we're looking for. Hence, this new announcement.
Now It's Time To Turn Up The Heat!
Send us your best originally authored hit-pieces on current events, politics, and historical conspiracies that relate to contemporary issues. Let the world know the calibre of people who write here on a daily basis.
Every day there is something new, interesting, or important in the world of "alternative topics" that deserves more intense scrutiny than is provided by mainstream media. No other site can match the size of the crowd that contributes to "alternative topics" here at ATS. No other online source is better prepared to take on these issues in a way that surpasses mainstream media.
Premiums For Real-World Interviews
If your published article contains relevant interviews with people who are involved with your story, and support the premise of your article, we will pay an additional 50% of the offered "bounty" for your piece. But be prepared to provide the same level of backup required of freelance journalists.
Opportunities For Multi-Author Collaborations
If your published article is the result of a collaboration between two or more ATS members, we see this as an excellent, impressive, and important evolution of creating new content within our subject areas. Content "bounties" for multi-member-authored submissions begin at $100, and we will split the payment equally between collaborators (unless you tell us differently).
Publishing Accepted Articles
As you know by now, your accepted articles will be published to our email newsletter list now boasting over 65,000 subscribers with an open-rate in excess of 55%. Also, your piece will receive a featured "ATS Premium" thread for members to provide commentary. If your piece is truly great and deserves broad attention, we'll direct our PR agency to jump into action and promote your article to a long list of influential sources. For those who desire to use their real name and pursue a journalism career, this may be an excellent opportunity.
How To Submit
Just use our submission form.
Payment
We pay by check, mailed to you. Currently there are no options for PayPal payments. And keep in mind that it takes from 3-6 weeks to receive payment for your accepted articles.

That's a great point, we will going forward notify those who submitted pieces that didn't make the premium so they can be used as OPs in a new thread.
It may require a reminder U2U once in a while, we are running a fairly large and growing list of projects and a business, pretty much by ourselves (4 of us) and we get extremely busy and we do get behind once in a while.

I think if you combine all those ideas into one article and just write up the whole thing and submit it to ATS you have a good chance. And if not, you can get it published anyway...ever heard of the Internet? It makes everyone a publisher.
In any case, I´d be interested in hearing your ideas. What are they?

Hi Springer,
I'm glad to hear that you liked Skyfloating's idea.
If you don't mind, I'll throw in a couple of my own:
(1) When a submission is made using the relevant form on ATS, it would be nice to have a record of the submission actually made. Could a copy of the relevant submission be send as a U2U or email to the person that submitted it? I have no idea if this would be very easy, or very difficult, to arrange...
(2) Could a rough indication be given as to the length of time to allow before a decision can be expected? A week? A month?
All the best,
Isaac

the only two people who would know your name would be SO and myself. SO gets the info and passes it to me so I can cut the check. I'm not averse to having the info sent directly to me to cut out the middle man.
you would, however, need to have a piece accepted first. not sure if you can submit it anonymously.
