Hi there,

We’re looking for writers who would like to write about the following topics:

– Software reviews

– App reviews

– General tech topics

Applicants must:

– Be a native English writer or possess excellent written English

– have a LinkedIn profile with the relevant job history

– Be detail-oriented

– Be willing to conduct research on the topic

– Have excellent written communication skills

Knowledge of how to work with Surfer SEO is a plus.

Strict requirements for this position:

– You must have access to BOTH iPhone and Android phones

– You must have access to BOTH PC and Mac and know how to work on them

– You must be able to write step-by-step guides

– You must know how to take screenshots and high-quality photos and annotate them

– You must have a LinkedIn profile with relevant job history showing your experience in writing about tech topics

– You must write under your name (NOT ghostwriting)

 

About the position

– The position will start with 4-6 blog posts per month, with more room to grow beyond this if you can deliver consistent quality work.

– Each blog post will have a variable number of words on average between 800-2000 and occasionally 2500-4000 words per post.

– When needed, each post will require taking screenshots/photos of the apps/software you are reviewing.

– When needed, you might be asked to shoot a screen video on a phone or computer for a separate payment.

We have very high editorial standards compared to most other blogs. Every post that we publish goes through our strict editorial process where we check all claims and ideas for accuracy. Our readers trust us and we absolutely must ensure the highest quality content.

You’ll be assigned topics by us and given a submission deadline.

It’s quite likely that in the first few weeks, there will be a lot of feedback and editing required, but generally, once a writer gets into the swing of things, that part should be minimal.

All content must be original, actionable, informative, and to the point. No fluff or filler!

Note that we only require our writers to write the content with screenshots and some text formatting in the article.

Articles have to be submitted as a link to a Google Doc shared for editing (no web design required).

Our budget is around $500-700 for 10,000 words in total. So please bid based on this number.

 

Here’s an example of the brief:

If you cannot follow the brief, please do NOT apply. Save your and my time.

 

Payment details

– Articles must be written, edited, and gone through a round (or a few) of fixes before payment is made.

– Payment will be made through PayPal after the article is finalized (went through a round of edits). Please note that the payment won’t cover the PayPal fees.

How to apply

– Please apply through this form:  https://forms.gle/WuUFM3AZqwwNxVPA6

Only the applications submitted through the form will be reviewed.

 

After applying

– If we like the samples you provided, we will contact you to write a paid test article.

– The test article will represent a typical task we assign to our writers.

– The test article rate will have a smaller rate of 60% of your desired rate per 100 words.

After passing the test

– If you wrote a test article and we liked it, we will offer you a trial period of 6 (six) articles.

– The trial articles will be paid based on the rate of 70% of your desired rate per 100 words.

After the trial period ends

If you pass the trial period, we will hire you permanently at the rate we agreed on in this job posting.

 

We apologize in advance if you don’t hear back from us. Due to the high volume of applicants, we’ll only be able to get back to writers whom we feel may be a good fit.
