How earning works

The full picture before you spend anything: what a plan gives you, how work is judged, and when money reaches your account.

  1. Commission claimed

    You reserve a brief. A timer starts based on the hours listed on it.

  2. Work submitted

    Automatic checks run and the piece joins the editor's queue.

  3. Approved

    The reward is credited as pending. The article is published or updated with your contribution.

  4. Available after 3 days

    This short hold lets editors catch plagiarism or serious errors found after publication.

  5. Withdrawn

    Request a payout from ₦5,000. We send it to the bank account on your profile and show the transfer reference.

Questions contributors ask

What am I paying for when I subscribe?

Access and capacity. Your plan decides how many commissions you can claim in a 30-day window, how many you can work on at the same time, and which higher-value briefs you can see. It does not pay you anything by itself and it is not an investment.

How much can I earn?

Each commission shows its reward before you claim it. What you earn depends on how many commissions are open, how many you complete, and how many are approved. We do not promise or estimate monthly income, and nobody at LDCP should.

What happens after I submit?

Automatic checks look at word count, sources, keywords and overlap with existing content. Then an editor reads it and either approves it, asks for specific changes, or declines it with a reason. Sensitive topics such as health, law, money and politics always get a human editor.

When do I get paid?

The reward is added to your pending balance the moment your work is approved. After 3 days it moves to your available balance. Once your available balance is at least ₦5,000, you can request a withdrawal.

What if my deadline passes?

If the time on a claimed commission runs out before you submit, it goes back to the marketplace for someone else. You can also release a commission yourself if you cannot finish it.

Who owns what I write?

Approved and published work becomes part of the LDCP content library under our terms, in exchange for the reward. You are credited as a contributor on the article where appropriate.

What gets work declined?

Copied or spun content, unedited AI output, invented quotes or sources, missing the brief, or factual errors. Repeated problems lower your reputation score, which limits access to higher-value commissions. Plagiarism can lead to suspension and loss of pending rewards.

Does a higher plan mean my work is approved more easily?

No. Editors judge the work, not the plan. Your reputation score comes from your approval history, not from what you pay.

What a plan does and does not do

A plan sets how many commissions you can claim and how many you can work on at once. It is not an investment and it does not guarantee income. You earn only when you complete a commission and an editor approves it. Rewards are shown on every task before you claim it, sit as pending for 3 days after approval, and can be withdrawn once your available balance reaches ₦5,000.
