Mahalo.com is rapidly expanding and looking for enthusiastic freelance writers to join the team as writers. We strive to create quality content for a site where you can "Learn Anything." Mahalo hires professional writers who write informative and entertaining articles on a wide variety of topics.

Mahalo is a top 200 Internet company in the United States with hundreds of thousands of articles that are read by millions of people each month. We're focused on building services to help people find, share, and create trustworthy content. We do this through our informative topic pages, how to articles, videos, and our Q&A platform.

Each page will need at least 300 words of original content that is clear and concise. Write in third or second person person, non-biased, encyclopedic style without using flowery language such as "great, unique, special, fun, delicious, popular, or well known." We ask that you submit one sample writing piece from the list of Mahalo Youtube videos. This sample will give us an idea of what your writing skills are, and if you can adhere to the tone and specifications of the encyclopedic style of the site. Write an article around the following video: How to Cut Cilantro

Go to this form to include out at least 300 words of informative content about the Youtube video. Content should be based on the video, but does not need to solely be information from the video if you are lacking for words. Any information from outside sources must be cited at the bottom of the page. If you have a very similar "how to" sample you have created previously, feel free to send that as well, but please remember the guidelines or you will not be considered.
Once this test piece is reviewed and accepted, we can get you writing on the system for $10 per article. Please email me at howto@mahalo.com if you have any further questions.
