At Makersnow.com, we believe in transparency, credibility, and proper author attribution. Every article published on our platform is tied to a verified author profile to ensure trust and authenticity for our readers. To maintain consistency across our website, all contributors must meet the following author profile requirements before publication.
1. Gravatar-Registered Email (Mandatory)
Makersnow.com uses Gravatar to automatically fetch and display author profile images across the website.
All contributors must provide an email address registered with https://gravatar.com/. This email is used exclusively to pull the author’s profile image and does not need to be publicly displayed.
Important notes:
- If the email is not registered with Gravatar, the author profile image will appear blank or as a default avatar.
- Authors are responsible for creating and managing their Gravatar profile, including profile image updates.
- We recommend using a professional headshot or company-approved image on Gravatar.
2. Author Identity & Professional Details
Each author profile on Makersnow.com includes:
- Full name (as it should appear publicly)
- Professional title or role
- Company or organization (if applicable)
- Short author bio highlighting relevant industry experience
The information provided should accurately reflect the author’s real-world professional identity. Pseudonyms or generic author names are not accepted.
3. One Author, One Profile
Each contributor is assigned a single author profile on Makersnow.com. Multiple profiles for the same individual are not permitted. Authors contributing on behalf of a company should still use their individual name, with company affiliation mentioned in the bio.
4. Profile Accuracy & Maintenance
Authors are responsible for keeping their profile information up to date. If there are changes to your role, company, or profile image, please notify our editorial team so we can update your author account accordingly.
5. Editorial Approval & Compliance
Meeting the author profile requirements does not guarantee publication. All articles are subject to editorial review and must comply with Makersnow.com’s publishing guidelines and content standards.
