Welcome to Independent Financial Articles - Author's area

If you are an existing member and are returning to edit and submit more articles, please use the login form on the top right of your screen. We cannot wait for more great articles to edit and publish.

If you have yet to join us, then please do so (for free) by clicking here and providing some very simple details. You will then be able to gain full access to our system and see for yourself what is on offer.

We think that we are quite unique in that we provide an online publication system focussed entirely on the UK Financial Services sector that is written by contributors from the Independent Financial Services Industry. This is not online advertising but a system of quality, edited, independent financial articles designed to showcase the individual knowledge and talents of its author.

Membership is open to anyone with the ability to write such articles but the focus is on individuals working as independent advisers or brokers. We know that there is a wealth of talent out there that the public is missing out on when researching financial matters. Have you ever noticed that whenever the media require expert input on financial matters, the same 'experts' are called upon time and time again. The reason for this is that they have created a media profile for themselves, either from the work they do or by positive manipulation of the media.

We hope that this system will go some way to giving the Independent advice sector a greater impact on the Internet and lead to a greater awareness of the benefits of independent advice.

To make this work we need contributors and hope that you will sign up today and start submitting Financial Articles. They will be subject to rigorous edit to ensure that no Financial Promotion or recommendation is made. The focus of the website is the provision of high quality, independent and informative articles for public consumption.

Your part is to write the articles and pay the modest subscription. Our part is the provision of the website to facilitate this and the editing staff to ensure editing guidelines are adhered to.

You gain by having a simple, cost effective way to raise your profile on the Internet.
