Writing a Tutorial

Your tutorial must follow these guidelines:

• Your tutorial must be your original work and not published anywhere else.
• Your tutorial will appear only on tutzor.com once you submit it.
• We may edit your tutorial prior to publishing.
• You will provide a PSD file of a tutorial, along with named and organized layers.
• You must have a PayPal account in order for us to pay you.
• Your tutorial must be formatted according to our guidelines described below.

Image Sources and Photos

If you’re going to submit a tutorial that will use photos, here are the things that you need to know:

1. DO NOT use images from Google Image, or images taken from another web site.
2. DO NOT use images from Flickr UNLESS they have a Creative Commons License for Commercial Use. In this case you must provide an attribution link back to the Flickr page you found the image on. Note you can find CC Commercial images on Flickr using their Advanced Search feature.
3. DO use images you photographed yourself
4. DO use images from free stock sites like SXC.hu and StockVault.net, BUT make sure you check the agreement for use in files for distribution. Sometimes you need to ask permission from the photographer. We need this because if the image is included in the sample PSD file, we can’t distribute it unless you have permission.
5. IF YOU USE images from a stock site like iStockPhoto, Dreamstime, or other THEN you are free to use the images in your screenshots, but in the PSD file you need to use a watermark over the image as they do in the previews on their sites. In other words you can purchase a stock image to use, but in the sample PSD file you can’t be distributing the whole image (because the photographer isn’t receiving a royalty from the sale of the sample PSD file)

Please include links to the source of any images you have used in your tutorial wherever it has been used. If you do not include your image sources your tutorial will not be accepted, because we need to verify that the file is OK.
Thank you for taking the time to make sure the photos are OK, it helps protect the site, the photographer and yourself!

Tutorial Acceptance and Payment

Please note, not all tutorials will be accepted. We only accept tutorials that match the site’s standards of both writing and tutorial content.
If your tutorial is accepted, payment of US$50 will be made within 2 weeks after your tutorial has been posted on Tutzor. Please note that if we gain evidence in this time that the tutorial or source images used in the tutorial have been plagiarized we will take the tutorial off the site and payment will not be made.

How to Format Your Tutorial for Submission

Your tutorial must come with:

1. A Sample PSD file for people to download
2. A 200×200px preview image of the finished effect
3. An HTML file with the tutorial written out. The HTML file should be written in the same way that tutorials on the site are, that is in a set of “Steps” with an image before each one. Additionally you should have a paragraph at the beginning giving an introduction. You can download the HTML template here.
4. Images in the tutorial should be no more than 600px wide. The only exception is for when the tutorial has a final product that needs to be large (e.g. a wallpaper)
