Articles may be requested to be ghost written. For example, we may request that a writer create an article based on our opinions and experience with a particular product and publish it under another name however at our discretion, we can allow writers to have their bio appear on some of their articles so you can mention a social media profile in that bio if you choose to build up an audience over time.
