Every day, LifeTips receives dozens of applications from writers wanting to become Gurus.  We get so many it’s hard to keep all you talented professionals straight. My advice for those eager to get started on paid projects is to apply to become a writer at WriterAccess.com. We will review and approve your application within 48 hours, and then you can check the job board and start applying to projects ASAP.

A few of the jobs available right now include:

·         200 tips on early childhood learning

·         70 tips on pain relief

·         Dermatology and facial care tips and articles

·         Clinical job placement tips

·         IT jobs and career advice tips

·         Sunglasses tips

Make sure that when you apply for a job you make a good argument for why we should pick you. “My mother has a cat and therefore I can write really good cat-care tips” is not good enough. We need to see that you have professional experience in a particular field or industry, that you have freelance writing experience and that you have published material online in related subjects. Send us links to your work. And please, please, please be sure to proofread your job pitch because any typo here is a red flag that your copy is not consistently clean. Typos, grammatical mistakes and awkward phrasing make our job as editors harder. Show us some love and we’ll show it right back with fat paychecks.

Are you the parent of a young child, tween or teenager? Do you know how to throw raging birthday parties that become playground lore and elevate your kid to mythical legend? I’m talking clowns, ponies, magicians, trapeze artists, blow-up castles, cotton candy, Ferris wheels, Hannah Montana performing live…

Okay, you may not be able to get Miley to cameo your kid’s birthday fete, but you sure know where to get the Hannah Montana swag and how to stylize your house into a birthday concert worthy of the stars. If you think you could be the Jeopardy champ of all things Disney princesses, fairies, wizards, Spiderman, Transformers, GI Joe … and you can interpret this knowledge into ideas for birthday parties in a well-written and articulate manner … I have a great opportunity for you.

I’ll be assigning seventy-eight 500-word articles in the next week—all on the subject of birthday party themes—for one of the biggest retail websites in the WWW. Shoot me an email if you’re interested, and don’t forget to recap the most bodacious bash you’ve ever bestowed on your little prince or princess.

Do you know anything about staffing? That’s kind of a vague question, so let me be more specific: Do you know anything about staffing in the IT, Engineering, Accounting & Finance, International HR, Nursing, Physician, Clinical or Legal fields? We just landed a big client and will be churning out 2,250 tips in the next four weeks. That’s 337,500 words!

We can’t do this without writers, of course. So log onto your job board and apply to these projects ASAP … or just contact me at Carolyn@LifeTips.com.

Ever have trouble thinking of a name for a pet? Or a baby? Then I’m sorry, this might not be the project for you. We need a writer full of ideas on what to name pets and babies. From the traditional to the absurd, we want it all. We also have projects available related to gourmet teas, crock pot cooking, home & family, and staffing. I also need a web-marketing SEO writer to write some punchy tips for a demanding yet rewarding project. Email me for details if you’re interested.

LifeTips had record sales in July, and the sales team is gearing up for three trade shows in the month of August. The production department, thanks to a few new great hires, is ready for the challenge!

Many, many thanks to Bobby Pellegrino and Abbie Ruzicka, our two summer interns from BU. They were two enthusiastic, hard workers who brightened the office with their youth, personality and sense of humor. Best of luck as you start what I’m sure will be positively successful careers.

This week’s Job Pitch Board is meatier than usual. Our sales team just got back from a whopping SEO trade show, and with them they bring prospects galore. The editorial team is excited to get started on these projects, as the subject matter really is exciting. Who doesn’t love books and jewelry? Mona will be downward-dogging for yoga, and the wholesale purchasing project just screams “Mandy!” And while I’m a vegetarian and love all animals, I will have to pass the deer hunting project off to another colleague, but baseball will certainly broaden my horizons! 

So here they are, new projects for our writers to watch out for:

·         Books

·         Jewelry

·         Hunting (deer)

·         Interior Decorating (Asian and Danish styles)

·         Baseball

·         Wholesale purchasing

·         Teaching Degree, Business Degree sponsorship

·         Yoga Sponsorship Renewal

It’s Friday, and that means the weekend is here! Before you rush off for that sunny weekend getaway, writers, here are a few upcoming projects to look out for:

·         Pet nutrition

·         Household cleaning

·         Traveling and health in retirement
