    Hi,

    I am looking for a few good writers that would like to join our writing team at News For Shoppers.

    ======= Benefits ===========

    - Why should you do all the writing and not share in the profit? At NFS, you receive a 50% share of ad revenue. We do this through Google AdSense, 50% of the time your Google AdSense ID will be on the ads in your stories. Google keeps track of traffic, click thrus, payments.
    - You will be writing for an approved Google News and Bing News source. That means your stories appear in Google, Google News, Bing, and Bing News, within minutes of being published. Your writing will be read by thousands.
    - You will have your own byline and a bio, in which you can include a link to your own (family friendly) site.
    - Your articles will link to your Google Plus account.
    - You'll get an author listing from Google, and often your image and a link to your Google Plus account will appear with your story in Google's listings.

    ======= Bonus ======

    As an added incentive, you will receive a $30 bonus (via paypal) after your first 30 articles are published.

    ====== Topics =======

    Your writing may include the latest news, commentary and analysis of:

    - product launches
    - sales, discounts, price changes
    - movies, music & TV
    - availability, sell outs
    - product comparisons, this vs that
    - hands on reviews
    - leaks/rumors related to changes, updates, products
    - new laws, lawsuits, that affect products/consumers
    - and more!

    We write our articles for an audience of shoppers/consumers. Our goal is to provide them with the current news and information they need to be savvy shoppers.

    We do not assign stories, you can write about the products you love and know about - as long as it is in the consumer/shopping/entertainment niche.

    All writing must be original. You can research and learn things from other sites/articles, and provide attribution, but the article you write for our site must be original.

    Your stories should be engaging and fun, but remain professional and be written with authority - KNOW what you are writing about.

    ======= Important ===========

    You should be familiar with writing news. We don't do 'tips, advice, how-to' stories in news. We don't tell people what to do. We provide information, commentary and analysis. You must understand the difference to qualify as a writer.

    ===== An AdSense account is required ========

    At this time, we are seeking writers that have working AdSense accounts so they can jump in to the profit sharing program immediately.

    ======= Requirements ===========

    - Live in the US, we write on US shopping.
    - Be a very good, fun, engaging, writer, with excellent English grammar and the ability to proof read your own work very well.- Be able to write news stories, with authority, but without tips/advice - we inform, then let the reader decide what to do with the information
    - Have a working Google AdSense account.
    - Be self motivated, have an entrepreneurial spirit, and be interested in helping shoppers.
    - Be able to submit between 3 to 21 stories per week.

    - Just so you know, writers are not allowed to include affiliate links or their own commercial sites in their articles.

    ======= To Apply ===========

    Just contact me through NFS. Please included some links to examples of your writing - it can be your own site or articles you have written in the past, and confirm that you have a working adsense account.

    You are also welcome to leave a note below, I check in here at DP regularly :)

    I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
