Note that you’ll see if we are hiring or not at the bottom of the page. Feel free to apply at anytime regardless as situations may change.
Payment
This is a growing website with big ambitions for the future. With that said, we offer what we can with expanding opportunities.
We start all authors out at $.01 per word on their articles. All articles must be at least 300 words length or more. We also offer a bonus incentive called our royalties program. What is this?
Well, every article you write will receive $.03 a view and this stacks. If you write 10 articles and you get 2K views in a month, you’ll receive $60. This only continues to increase as you keep writing. It is also worth mentioning that you will receive a pay increase at the 3 month mark, 6 month mark and the year mark after. This is open to change as the site grows.
Taxes
This is a job like any other. So you must be aware that you’ll need to file this on your taxes at some point. You are technically qualified as a freelancer and will need to file as self-employed. This will be made aware to you prior to agreement on work.
Writing Examples
To give you an idea of our different writing styles at this website, I’ll leave links to three different articles. Each of these will be from a different author of the site.
Ready Up: The Social Gaming Experience
What We Expect
- Articles must be 300 words minimum.
- All article ideas must be approved by Andrew, editor-in-chief and turned into him.
- Must be able to post at least twice a month, if not more. Also must be open to working on collaboration projects with other authors if necessary.
How to Apply
I’ve already mentioned that reaching out to us through one of our social media pages is the most efficient way, and that still stands. However, it isn’t as simple as just messaging us and getting hired. There are a few rules to know prior.
- Must be 18 or older.
- Must be able to speak and write in English.
- Must be able to provide an example of your writing.
- Be prepared to tell us what type of games you like and what type of content you would be best for.
- Must have a PayPal or Cashapp to receive payment.
