Why is Author free but Analyst costs $999?
Authors don't pay anything to apply or publish — TECHi pays per published piece + revenue share, since Authors arrive with their own audience and bring it to the site. Analysts run a research desk with extra monetization tooling (Stripe Connect, featured-domain placement, premium templates, performance bonuses) — the $999/yr funds the editorial review + monetization infrastructure they get to use on top of the revenue share.
When does the $999 charge happen?
Only after editor approval. The application form itself is free. If approved you'll receive a one-click checkout link via email; only then does Stripe charge $999. If rejected, no charge ever happens.
What counts as eligible social following for the Author tier?
Combined followers across X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and Substack — single platform OR combined. Editors verify the numbers against your linked profiles before approving. The bar is 1M.
What's the bar for Analyst applications?
50K+ combined social followers AND a verifiable track record (past calls with dates and outcomes, sample reports, finance-authority bylines). Audience is one signal; accuracy + originality of analysis weigh heavier.
Can I cancel my Analyst Membership?
Yes, anytime. Pro-rated refunds aren't standard but we honor them in good faith for the first 14 days.
