We provide our authors with much more than added exposure and access to a premium audience.  Seeking Alpha contributors are eligible for a wide array of free benefits and professional tools.  We believe that to truly be market moving, our authors should have access to the best tools and opportunities available.  To that end, we empower our authors with a number of value-added and traffic-driving benefits such as:
 
 

• Free Conference Tickets: Seeking Alpha authors receive complimentary tickets to hundreds of conferences and seminars across the globe, covering a wide range of topics.  Visit our conference calendar for a list of upcoming events.
• Access to Journalists/Media: Seeking Alpha coordinates interviews for our authors with major media outlets.  Our authors have been featured on TV, radio, print media; at conferences; and in documentaries.
• Free Subscriptions to Research Tools: We want to empower our contributors to write to their fullest potential which is why we partner with companies like Zacks Premium, Gridstone Research and InfoNgen (a $5,000 annual value).  When you are a contributor to Seeking Alpha, you know you will be armed with the best tools and data available.
• Introductions to Top Management Teams: Have you been itching to interview an executive but haven’t been able to get your foot in the door?  Seeking Alpha has access to thousands of company executive teams and can help facilitate an introduction.
• Free Ads on Seeking Alpha: Why pay thousands of dollars to advertise your business on various financial websites?  Our authors may advertise directly on Seeking Alpha for free.
• Tools for Self-Promotion & Monetization: Everyone deserves to be recognized once in a while, especially when there is something specific to promote:  your business, blog, or book.  We offer a number of opportunities for our authors to bring more attention to these achievements and to monetize their businesses.
• Free Financial Books: Seeking Alpha has partnered with a number of publishing houses to provide all interested authors with complimentary review copies of financial books.  Books are shipped directly to our authors worldwide, free of charge.
• Press Credentials: Many bloggers wish they could cover exclusive events but do not have a large enough audience to be considered for entry.  All Seeking Alpha authors qualify for press credentials and we regularly arrange entry for our authors to such events.
• Seeking Alpha Certification:  All authors are eligible to apply for Seeking Alpha Certification.  When approved, authors are provided with a Seeking Alpha gold certified badge that may be posted on their individual websites assuring readers of their quality and credibility.  A Seeking Alpha badge on a stock market website is a mark of excellence and voluntary adherence to objective compliance standards and differentiates it from the majority of unreliable sites in the blogsphere.
• Many More: These are just a sampling of what we offer to our authors and are constantly finding new and innovative ways to reward, empower and promote them.
