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.
