This person’s email will end in @buzzfeed.com — please do not provide any information to an address that does not end in @buzzfeed.com. Please also be sure to check your spam just in case our message gets caught. You will have 10 business days after our initial email to you to return the signed affidavit form confirming your eligibility and provide us with banking information for ACH payment, your W9, and an executed document to be signed confirming your earnings and the amount so that we can get your payment to you.

Earnings are subject to taxation. BuzzFeed will disburse a 1099 tax form to all participants who receive a payout, which will be sent postmarked by Jan. 31, 2023. If you do not receive a message by May 26, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. EDT, this means you will not receive a payment, sorry! In the case that you have traffic data on your dashboard for posts that were not removed or disqualified published between April 1, 2022, and April 30, 2022, that qualifies you as a recipient of earnings and you have not heard from us by May 26, 2022, please reach out to us at communityhelp@buzzfeed.com no later than June 1, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. EDT. ANZEIGE Canva / BuzzFeed * Facebook * Pinterest * Mail * Link The #1 way that a post goes viral is by getting noticed by one of our Community editors and being promoted within our network. A post is only promoted on our network if a Community editor selects and edits the post for promotion. Promotion entails any combination of the following levers: ➡️ Running on the BuzzFeed.com homepage, vertical feed pages, and site units ➡️ Getting posted to one of BuzzFeed’s social channels ➡️ Posts with high SEO potential will rank on Google However, you can use your own accounts to promote your Community post as well, like making TikToks about your post, putting your list or quiz in your bios, in Facebook groups, or whatever else you can think of! Any post that elicits invalid and inorganic traffic activity that artificially increases the number of pageviews to your post will be disqualified. This includes spam, invalid queries, duplicate posts, invalid impressions generated by any person, bot, automated program, or similar device, impressions generated by payment of money or other inducements to third parties, false representation, or any offer to trade views to posts. Canva/BuzzFeed * Facebook * Pinterest * Mail * Link We’re excited that you’re joining our challenge. Before you submit your post, you should know that any Community post chosen by our editors for promotion will likely be edited to fit BuzzFeed's editorial standards. Our editors choose what content can be promoted across the site and social networks. They typically select posts that check at least one of the following criteria: ✅ Fits in with current trends of what’s performing well on the site ✅ Fits with BuzzFeed’s editorial voice and standards ✅ Relevant to a topic that our users are searching for on the site ✅ Fills a content gap that our editorial staff is not currently writing about ✅ Originality and exceptional cleverness in voice, frame, or topic ✅ Does not violate our Community Rules or User Agreement ✅ Is in English We’re thrilled to have so many fantastic submissions, but not every post will get promoted. Check out our most recently promoted Community posts for inspiration and keep trying! Canva/BuzzFeed * Facebook * Pinterest * Mail * Link ➡️ Make sure your headline, thumbnail, and post description are enticing and would make someone want to click into the post. ➡️ Consistent capitalization and punctuation, as well as correct grammar and spelling usage, are all huge pluses. ➡️ Make sure any quiz you make has at least five questions and that each result includes at least a couple of sentences. ➡️ A list can be anywhere between 8 and 100 items, but unless each list item is very in depth, we suggest at least 15 items in a list. ➡️ We get LOTS of personality quizzes on Community, so it can help to branch out by making other types of quizzes. ➡️ Ensure that your quiz results are accurate and don’t feel completely random — readers are more likely to share and engage with quizzes that resonate personally with them. ➡️ You can check out tips to make your best quiz ever here, and tips to make your best list here! We’re thrilled to have so many fantastic submissions, but not every post will get promoted. Check out our most recently promoted Community posts for inspiration and keep trying!
