After submitting your article to the requester. The requester has 3 days to either approve or reject your article. If your article is well written as per instruction it will likely to be approved by the requester. If your article is very poorly written (i.e. not original content, not following the "special instructions" listed by the requester, or containing extremely poor English, it may fall into those that get rejected). When your article is approved, the funds will automatically credit into your account. After 3 days, if the requester has not approved or rejected your article, WriterPay automatically approves the article, placing the funds into your account. The maximum you will ever have to wait to receive the funds in your account is 3 days. Typically, it's only a few hours.
