Author & Blog Policy

Last Updated: March 2025

Welcome to Sentient Blogs! Our platform aims to empower authors by providing a space for creative freedom, expanding your reach, and supporting your professional growth. By posting on our site, authors gain the opportunity to enhance visibility, share original ideas, increase social media engagement, and improve SEO through valuable backlinks. It’s our ambition to build a successful, revenue-generating community and ultimately share that success with our dedicated authors as the site grows.

To ensure quality, originality, and a seamless experience for both authors and readers, please adhere to the following policy when submitting posts:

Author Requirements and Submission Process

1. Registered Author Requirement: To publish on Sentient Blogs, you must be a registered author. Registering helps us maintain a consistent standard of quality and verify each contributor.
2. Original Content: Posts must be entirely original, created by you, and not copied, even partially, from existing content. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
3. Human-Generated Content: All posts must be written by a human. AI-generated content is not permitted, as Sentient Blogs emphasizes human creativity and perspective.
4. Moderation Review: Once your post is ready, submit it for review. Our moderators will check your post for compliance with this policy and may enhance it slightly to optimize for SEO. We aim to retain your original tone, intent, and structure, making only minimal changes when necessary.
5. Editing and Deleting Posts: You have the freedom to edit or delete your post at any time. Please note that any edited posts will be subject to moderation approval before they are republished to ensure they continue to meet our standards. If deleted, you revoke our license to continue using and displaying the post, although any previous display or use remains valid. Sentient Blogs is not responsible for third-party handling of deleted posts.
6. Site Discretion Over Content: Sentient Blogs reserves the right to edit or delete any post at any time, for any reason, at its total discretion. This allows us to maintain the quality and integrity of our content.

Content and Media Guidelines

7. Media Uploads: Images or media uploaded directly to the site should be under 2MB. If larger files are necessary, please contact us to discuss your needs. For videos, embedding URLs from platforms like YouTube is preferred over direct uploads.
8. Copyright Compliance: Authors are responsible for ensuring all content, including text, images, and logos, does not breach copyright or intellectual property laws.
9. Affiliate Links and Self-Promotion: You’re encouraged to include links to your own website and social media channels for promotion. Affiliate links are permitted but must be relevant to the content of the post. Excessive or unreasonable use of affiliate links is not allowed and will be moderated for appropriate usage.
10. Responsibility for Third-Party Links: Authors are responsible for any third-party links they insert. Be mindful and aware of the content you are linking to, ensuring it aligns with the standards and values of Sentient Blogs.
11. Prohibited Content: Inserting third-party advertisements (e.g., Google AdSense), personal donation links (such as Patreon or Buy Me a Coffee), or newsletter subscription forms within posts is not allowed. Sentient Blogs provides this platform for informational and promotional purposes and reserves exclusive advertising rights on the site.
12. Freedom of Speech and High-Risk Topics: While we support freedom of speech and creativity, illegal content is strictly prohibited. Posts addressing “high-risk” or “adults only” topics—such as gambling, pornography, or illicit drugs—are allowed but will undergo more rigorous review by our moderators to ensure compliance with platform standards.

Content Ownership and Rights

13. License to Use and Share: By posting on Sentient Blogs, you grant us an unlimited license to display, use, and share your content as part of our site. This includes, but is not limited to, any format, such as blog posts or social media features, for the purpose of promoting Sentient Blogs and its authors.
14. Revenue Disclaimer: Except where specifically indicated, Sentient Blogs does not currently offer any commission or revenue share to authors. We retain the right to generate revenue from posts through various channels, although our aim is to provide revenue-sharing opportunities in the future as the platform grows.
