Do I Need to Be Invited to Become a Seeking Alpha Author? Are There Additional Requirements?

No. The Contributor Partnership Program is open to everyone; the only requirement is that your article must be exclusive to Seeking Alpha. We apply the same editorial standards to exclusive content as we do to all of our content. Of course, we continuously strive to raise the bar, and we hope enabling smart contributors to earn real income will mean an increase in both quality and quantity of our articles.
