Freelance writing, technology/ geek website, pays $10-$15 per article

So, here's the deal. We run a small number of niche websites (mostly based in Australia's .com.au TLD), and they need to be updated weekly with new content.



We're looking for a proficient Australia, US or UK-based writer who can type up a tech storm.



The reason we need someone who is a little 'geeky' is due to our niches. They are (in no particular order)

  • iPhone
  • MP3 Players
  • Game Consoles
  • LCD TV's
  • LED TV's
  • Android Phones


The types of content that works well on our sites are:



1. Latest News Updates (ie. searching google news for the latest happenings, researching stories on other sites, finding the best, latest, killer news and writing an article covering it)



2. 'How To' tips and tricks articles, showing how to achieve something new, how to solve a problem, etc...



3. Top 10 Lists. ie: Top 10 Ways To Cut Down Your iPhone Obsession.



We require around 600 words (500-600) for each article. We usually pay around $10-$15 per article, which generally gives us a decent quality, informative article that we are happy to publish on our site.



The job load will be around (approx) 10 articles per week, or around 50 per month. Ongoing on a month to month basis if everyone is happy. May increase in time...



We want these articles to 'help and inform people'. So quality is important, as is research and accuracy. We're not looking for articles that just take one point and go over it time and time again. We want articles that people go 'wow, that was helpful'



Of key note is that these sites are based in Australia. We need either an Australian writer or someone who can write for an Australian Audience (everything is different here, with product release dates, prices and details... )



Do you think you could help us with your magical writing powers? We're in need of a article writing superhero and await your presence.



Please MAKE SURE to supply articles in your proposal that show us you're up for the job, in this area of tech related articles.



Any questions on this assignment, please ask.

Freelance writing, Catskill County Magazine, pays $0.10 per word

If you are interested in submitting editorial, you must read this entire page then complete the writer’s agreement. Please note that you must follow these guidelines for every piece of editorial that is submitted to our office. Failure to do so may prevent us from using your editorial.



DECKER ADVERTISING, INC. ARTICLE SUBMISSION PROCESS



By purchasing articles from freelance writers we feel this will give us a wide range of choices and writing styles. Because we want you, the writer, to understand the process of our editorial structure we would like to give you some insight on how our process works. First your article is organized by article type and for the specific issue it will be considered. Next, our staff will review the list of editorial that has come in for a particular issue and determine what articles are to run and what will be assigned. Once these decisions have been made, you will be notified if we

decide to use your piece. The final process is that the article will be edited by our Copy Editor and then placed in our Catskill Country magazine and on our Web site (CatskillCountry.com). Finally, you will be mailed payment for your article.



ARTICLE FOCUS



We are interested in articles on living and traveling throughout the Catskill Region. Our definition of the Catskill Region consists of the area east of the Hudson River in the New York State Counties that are Delaware, Otsego, Greene, Schoharie, Sullivan, and Ulster. Our readers want practical information on places to go and things to do in the Catskill Region. They enjoy articles on events, attractions, unique businesses, landmarks, outdoor life, shopping, antiquing,

dining and more.



LENGTH



Submitted articles should contain body copy from 800 to 2,000 words. Article title, byline and captions are not counted toward the total word count of the article.



FORMAT



Only electronic submissions are accepted. Fancy word-processing layouts only bog down our layout department, as your formatting has to be removed before we can place your work into our page formats, so we ask that you use simple Microsoft Word documents in Times New Roman, only. When you type for publication, there should only be ONE SPACE after the period at the end of a sentence. All quotation marks are to be put on the OUTSIDE of periods and commas. Also, we omit the last comma in a string of characters. (EG: Shoes, socks, shirt and shorts rather than a comma before the and). We know this seems trivial but this saves us a great deal of time.



EDITING



We reserve the right to edit your work if it does not comply with company policies and for the following reasons: typographical, grammatical, and factual errors; clarity, style, length and format.



EXCLUSIVITY



All submitted articles must be the original work of the author. We will not run articles that have run in other local competing publications. Feature articles that we are purchasing first time rights for may not be submitted to other local competitors.



DEADLINES



Articles must be submitted by the 20th of March for the Spring/Summer issue and by the 15th of August for the Fall/Winter issue, unless otherwise specified. If we do not receive your article by the specified deadline it will not be considered. This same deadline applies for reprints. Writers MUST adhere to our guidelines in order to keep our process as structured as possible. We apologize if this creates any inconveniences but, organization is our number one focus.



FEES & PAYMENT



Decker Advertising, Inc. pays 10 cents per word for first publication rights to an article. Article title, byline and captions are not counted toward the total word count of the article. Reprint articles of at least 800 words are paid $40 per article unless otherwise agreed upon. This fee includes the rights to use your article in Catskill Country magazine and for use on our website CatskillCountry.com. Photo submissions used with writer’s article are paid $15 per photograph published in color and $10 per photograph published in black and white. Payment will be made within 30 days of publication.



SUBMITTING ARTICLES



Submit your article in person or by mail to: Editorial c/o Decker Advertising, Inc., 97 Main Street, Suite 5, Delhi, NY 13753, or by e-mail to editorial@dckr.com and include the following:



1. Author name, address, phone number, and social security number (for tax purposes).

2. Photos for the article, if they apply. While most publications require photos to be submitted with the article we do not require them but do encourage them. Photos should be attached to the e-mail in a JPEG or TIF format.

Freelance writing, DWorrell.com, pays $50 per guest post

I welcome guest bloggers, and will pay you $50 if I publish your original post. I do not accept promotional posts that sell or link to a single company for PR purposes.



Why will I pay you? Because great content drives more traffic. I do things the old fashion way — I work hard to bring my readers value, wherever it comes from. Blogging takes time. Great blogging takes a great deal of time. If you can help me drive quality traffic and add value to my site, then you should benefit. It’s just the right thing to do. (And I’m not the only one who thinks so — check out my friend Carol Tice.)



To qualify, the post must meet my editorial guidelines for both content and style. I will not post sloppy or poorly written content. Blog posts must address the following minimum requirements:

  • Be about small business issues — corporate finance, fundraising, and growth strategies are best. Send me just the idea if you are unsure.
  • Teach people specific ways to “Make, Measure and Monitor” the money in their business
  • Have 3 to 7 links to other relevant sources inside or outside of my blog. This is for SEO purposes — not to promote your other sites.
  • Have a brief “Out-ro” about you or your work. You may include 2 links in this outro paragraph, which will follow the post.
  • Be unique, original work with full rights to publish online (non-exclusive is fine)
  • Minimum 400 words. Maximum 1200. Somewhere in the middle is best.
  • Suggest or provide at least one photo or graphic
  • Be easy to read, concise, grammatically correct, and simply presented. Long paragraphs are out. Use a reading level score if you are unsure. (Reading score at 7th grade level is best.)


Please submit as a Word or Text file by email, or copy into the Contact Me form. I’ll reply within 48 hours, letting you know if changes are needed. I reserve the right to reject any post for any reason. If I do not publish it, I will let you know.

We prefer a mix of experts and parents from different regions in our four-county market.

Freelance job, write about technology, payment: $15 p

Do your friends come to you for advice on their next big tech purchases? Do you make tech blogs a regular part of your daily news consumption? Can you explain what a smartphone is. . . in terms your grandmother would understand?



If so, you might have the chops to work as a staff writer at our consumer technology website. We're an online tech and lifestyle magazine covering everything electronic -- from the latest Apple iPad developments to innovations in the world of hybrid-electric vehicles. Our content spans from news, expert analysis and guides to in-depth reviews.



Right now, we're looking to expand our news bureau with a staff writer in the Bay Area who can work from home. Writers will typically work from press releases and other official announcements to strip out the PR fluff and drill down to the facts, injecting commentary, references to other relevant news, and occasionally contacting experts and other sources for commentary and clarification. You'll be writing multiple short, to-the-point news briefs, typically about 300 words in length. Compensation will be $15 per short post.



QUALIFICATIONS: Writers will need a basic familiarity with consumer electronics and tech. You don't need a working understanding of TKIP encryption and Perl, but if you don't know who Steve Jobs is, this job is not for you. Besides allowing you to write informed articles, a familiarity with tech will help you weed out boring and irrelevant news from the vital content that tech readers crave.



Keeping a conversational, informed and engaging tone is essential. Many competing tech sites have access to the same sources you will have -- like press releases -- so we're counting on your voice to make our news exceptional.



Because the world of tech moves quickly, many of your stories will hit the Web prior to making it through an editor. You'll need a proficiency in AP Style and an eye for detail and mistakes to produce publishable content without anyone holding your hand. Writers should also be open to the opportunity to perform additional assignments -- visiting tech companies, performing interviews, testing products, etc. -- on a per-article basis.



A sense of autonomy and responsibility are essential. After we show you the ropes, you'll be expected to smoothly produce content with minimal direction, and accountability for a certain number of posts daily.



We currently have openings for weekday writers who can commit to at least three posts per day. Hours are negotiable based on other commitments, but after writers will be expected to post within a daily time frame after establishing what works.



HOW TO APPLY: Please send us a resume, cover letter and three published clips of your choosing. Make note of whether you're interested in the weekend position, weekday position, or both.

Freelance writing, Get-Tuned.com, pays $20 minimum for well-written articles

We here at Get-Tuned.com want to make the best informative site possible. For us to reach that goal we need your help, you will be fairly compensated of course. We need your help writing articles at Get-tuned. There are so many instruments out there and so many different methods and tips to tune them, that we truly are in over our heads. So we are giving our users the opportunity to help us with the content on our site.



Here are some topics that you may choose to write on.



How to restring a

How to tune a

Maintenance and Upkeep for

Tuning Tips for



You may write about essentially anything about getting instruments ready to be played, tuning, cleaning, storing, upkeep, maintenance, humidifiers. We do not want articles on how to play the instruments, Get-Tuned.com is strictly about tuning, prepping, and the upkeep of instruments. There are a plethora of other websites that will teach you the scales and how to play, we are not one of them.



You also may choose to create better article than existing one. For example if you see an article on "How to string a Violin" but you think you could do much better, do it. Just make sure it is better than the exisiting one or we will not use it and you will not get paid.



Pricing



The pricing will be based on 2 things. 1. How useful your article is, and 2. how much time it looked like you spent on it.



If it looks like you spent the last year of your life writing an article on something that isn't useful at all like,... "How to a guitar using the tone that glass bottles produced when blown in, filled with varying amounts of water". If we decide to even use it, you won't get much money, despite all those long nights you spent trying to figure out the correct proportions of water in the bottles. We want useful articles. It doesn't need to be something complicated. For example a useful but fairly simple article could be made on "How to string a ukulele." Also, let's say that you decide to write on a useful topic such as "how to string a ukulele", but you do such a quick and bad job that really no one would be able to string a ukulele using the article you wrote. If that is the case, you will not get paid much if we decide to use it, despite the usefulness of the chosen topic.



So choose a useful topic, and do a good job on it.



Pay Scale



$0-$9: If you send us a blank page, or if it is blatantly obvious you have never touched the instrument you are talking about. If it looks like you didn't spend much time on it, or it isn't really useful. If we can salvage and use anything from your article or if we post it, we will pay you. If we don't use anything, we will not pay you.



$10-$19: If it is a somewhat useful article but looks like you did it really fast, or maybe you didn't use any pictures, etc.



$20-$29: If it is a solid, well written article.



$30-$50: If you do an excellent job, use pictures, it is clear and consice, simple to understand, we will not hesitate to pay you in this range. Idealy, we want every article that is submitted to be in this range. We would be happy if we have to pay $50 each article that comes in, because that means good quality information is being added to the site. Shoot to be in this range.



$50+: If we pay you more than $50, you will need to have surprised us and surpassed our expectations. Also you are going to need to put a lot of work into it. Pictures, Visual Aids, Video, just excellent useful content.

Freelance writing, Wow-WomenOnWriting.com, pays $50-$150 per article

Deadline: 26 August 2011



Call for Queries/Submissions: Niche Writing



Have you found your niche in the writing world? Or do you know someone who has? We want to hear about it! Our October issue will focus on niche writing. This theme is open to interpretation. As always, our mission is to help and educate other writers, so keep that in mind when you query. We are open to both how-tos and interviews.



Please review our submission guidelines for guidelines and how to submit or query. Pay is $50 - $150 per article, on publication.



We'll also be reviewing past queries/subs to see if they are a fit with the theme.



Deadline for queries: August 26



We depend on talented freelancers to write for us. Please send your query and/or submission in the body of your email. For more details on submissions, see our writer’s guidelines and details below:



WOW! Writer's Guidelines



WOW! welcomes queries and submissions from its readers. Remember each issue focuses on Women, Writing and the monthly Theme.



Columns, Word Counts and Pay Rates:



Twenty Questions: $50

How 2 (1,500 - 2,000 Words): $75

Inspiration (1,500 - 2,000 Words): $75

Feature Interviews (up to 3,000 Words): $75

Feature Articles (up to 3,000 Words): $150



Rights:



We do not accept reprints. If you would like to repurpose a previously published article, please notify us at the time of your query and include the proposed changes that will make it specifically suited to WOW!. Acceptance is not guaranteed and is up to the discretion of the editorial board.



We require First Electronic Rights and the right to archive the article indefinitely. After one month from the date of publication, rights revert back to the author. Although we support you in republishing your article in other online and print publications, we request that you not syndicate your article on sites that provide free content. This practice lowers the value of the piece we have published, and using those sites strips you of your rights to your own article.



By submitting your work to WOW!, you are agreeing to these rights and terms.



Compensation:



WOW! pays on publication by PayPal or check. When your submission is published, you will receive a “live link” email notification. When you receive the notice, please reply to the email with an invoice that includes your social security number and payment preferences.



*Note: if you opt for payment by check, please understand that it may take up to one month after publication for you to receive your payment. If you opt for PayPal payment, you will be paid within two weeks of publication.



How to Submit:



You may either query or send the completed article in the body of an email. WE DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS. In the subject line you MUST include the words "Submission” or “Query.” Because of the high volume of spam we receive daily, emails that are not clearly addressed with the appropriate subject line may be deleted without being read.



Editorial Response:



WOW! has grown exponentially since its launch September 2006. While we are excited by the incredible interest and wonderful submissions from so many talented freelancers, we have found the need to amend our editorial response procedures.



We receive hundreds of queries every month and can no longer respond to every single query we receive. We will respond to freelancers whose queries show WOW! spirit, knowledge and understanding of our audience, a solid, fleshed-out article or interview idea, and which fit into our editorial calendar.



We have set up an auto-responder to let you know your submission has been received. However, if you do not hear from us, please understand that it is not a disparagement against your writing, it is most likely that your submission does not suit our needs at this time.



Helpful Hints:



Study previous issues and take note of our tone and style. Consider the contents and structure of our various sections: Feature Articles, Feature Interviews, How2, Inspiration, etc. Once you have a feel for what we publish, consider your own expertise and interest.



We are looking for queries that have a fully fleshed-out idea, a rough breakdown of the content of the piece you are proposing, and any sources if applicable. Please also include your bio, writing samples, and any other information or links you feel are appropriate for our consideration.



Do not send an email containing nothing but links. We will not follow them across the web to seek your writing samples. Choose your best and most appropriate sample to include in the body of your email. (Yes, we know it will be a long email.)



If you aren't sure your piece will fit WOW!, query and let us look at it.



Send email to:



submissions[at]wow-womenonwriting[dot]com



Please format your submission in “web friendly” 14pt Verdana font, single-spaced lines, block paragraphs, with one space after periods and other ending punctuation.



Response times vary but we try to get back with you within 2 months. If you haven't heard anything after that time, please query and mention your submission.
