    Looking for Tech & Gadget Blog Writers (2)

    Description:
    Need tech writers for a mens tech magazine.

    About the site
    MensTech.com is a professionally designed blog developed to be an article and reviews site for anything tech or geek related. Read more "About" the site here: http://www.menstech.com/about/

    What I'm looking for
    Smart, funny, witty writers who love gadgets. I wrote a very good description of what we need here: http://www.menstech.com/jobs

    But to really get a good feel for the style of writing we're looking for just read the posts.

    http://www.menstech.com/2007/03/23/tip-calculator-for-your-ipod/
    http://www.menstech.com/2007/03/21/dockitjet-inflatable-jetski-boat-addon/

    If you're interested just follow the instructions you see listed on the employment page here.

    This is not some fly-ny-night operation. I've put a huge amount of time, money, and effort into this project. The site already has a good amount of traffic (1,000 uniques per day) and RSS subscribers (40 in 1 week) so you will not only gain monetary compensation but also exposure as a tech writer.

    I will also need a photo of you as I plan to build an author page similar to this: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/ilounge/aboutus/

    Reviews
    I prefer writers who already own or "occassionally" buy their own gadgets, accessories, or software. Software being the easiest because you can always review free demos and take screenshots. Accessories being second easiest because they're cheap. Cases, adapters, etc. I am working with vendors already to get demo gear so free schwag is DEFINTIELY a perk of this job. My ONLY requirement (beyond writing good reviews) is that you have a camera to photo the product.

    Payment
    I am willing to pay either $10 per post (up to 4 per week) -OR- $2 per post for short product blurbs like you see on uncrate.com. (I USE COPYSCAPE AND OTHER METHODS SO COPY/PASTING WILL GET YOU FIRED.)

    We can also discuss revenue sharing if you like.

    Feel free to post questions here but if you are applying please use the instructions on the employment page. ALL writers will be given my list of RSS feeds I subscribe to for the latest gadget and tech news so research should be a easy!

    Thanks and I look forward to working with you!

    - George

    Position: Blog Author

    Salary or Project Budget: $2 (short product blurbs) to $10 per normal post (example) or Revenue Sharing.

    The fact that both of you seem to no be able to read and comprehend the clear instructions I wrote above in bold large letters tells me you're probably not right for this position.

    Thanks,

    I have to leave for now, but will send a sample as described on the employment page soon if the position is not already filled.

    Might be up to 24 hours, let me know if you close the offer before then.
