No Deadlines: Write Whenever you Want
As a wiseGEEK writer, you'll be able to login to our system whenever you want; set your own hours and work whenever it fits into your schedule.
Write from Anywhere
wiseGEEK writers can work from anywhere they have an internet connection. You'll be able to work at a cafe, in the yard, at a library, or from your kitchen table.
Choose your Topics
Our writers get to choose their favorite topics from an open pool of at least 500 topics. These topics, always in the form of a question, span a broad range of categories, including finance, technology, legal, beauty, diets, nutrition, fitness, medicine, fashion, gardening and more! You'll be free to focus on the one or many categories that you are comfortable writing about.
Work Directly with your Own Editor
Each wiseGEEK writer is assigned to a dedicated, experienced and receptive editor. You'll get to work directly with your editor to hone your skills and build your writing portfolio, all while getting paid!
Educate Millions of People
wiseGEEK is read by over 15.5 Million people each month (well over 100 million visitors per year). Your articles will help lots of real people, sometimes in very significant ways. To put our traffic in perspective, the following chart illustrates the reach of wiseGEEK compared to other well-known websites (in millions of visitors per month, October 2010).
Get Paid Quickly
Some jobs only pay once or twice a month. In this job, after you submit a batch of five or more articles, your work will be edited and paid — usually within 2 days.
Focus on Writing: We Handle the Rest
In many other online writing jobs, writers are required to promote their own submissions. At wiseGEEK, we handle all the promotion so our writers can focus on what they enjoy most — writing!
How much do you pay writers?
We pay writers per article. Current rates range from $10 to $14 depending on the article topic. Writers know exactly how much they will receive for writing an article before locking it.
How quickly do you pay writers?
To streamline the editing and payment processes, submitted articles are edited in batches of at least five articles. We typically edit and pay batches within two days of when they are submitted for editing.
How are payments made?
We pay by PayPal so that you receive the funds shortly after we send them. If you don't already have a PayPal account it is very easy to set up. Many of our writers choose to sign up for a free PayPal debit card, which gives them instant access to their cash.
Are there any fees to receive payments?
We cover the PayPal fees so you get the full amount.
Do I get to choose the topics I write on?
Writers (including those who are testing to become full wiseGEEK writers) get to choose which articles they write on. The pool of available topics typically hovers around 500 topics. Additional topics are added throughout the day.
What are the deadlines for submitting articles?
wiseGEEK writers don't have deadlines. As a team member, you'll be able to write as much as you want as long as you meet our minimum contribution requirements.
Will I have to write articles on a variety of subjects?
No. You should lock articles that you feel comfortable writing about. If that means you focus on a particular category or categories, that is completely fine.
How much do wiseGEEK writers have to contribute?
wiseGEEK writers are asked to write at least five articles per week, or 20 articles a month, on average.
What is your writing style guide like?
Our writing style guide is rather short and straightforward. You'll get access if you are invited to test with us.
Where is wiseGEEK physically located?
As a completely virtual company, wiseGEEK team members are located across the world. Most of our team, however, is located in the US.
