    Site is one of the oldest Video Game sites on the net, all of your posts will be posted on Google News.

    Example video game review:

    Sample Article

    Can be shorter (Not too much) or longer.

    1-2 articles per day. Articles are Reviews, Previews or Features (NOT NEWS).

    Just want to clear things. You said you pay $15 to $30 per week. Do you mean
    $15 to $30 per article or $15 to $30 for the seven articles?

    $30 per 700-1000 article? Really? Is there this much of a confusion?

    Oh God, $30 for a 1,000 word article... You and your webmaster friends may have a pulmonary embolism...

    http://www.writersmarket.com/assets/pdf/How_Much_Should_I_Charge.pdf

    These are REAL rates for writers. If you get anything cheaper, there's a 99% chance that you're hiring some dip**** from another country that's going to butcher your work (or you'll get screwed on rights, communication throughout the project or some other way).

    If you actually ARE is shock regarding a hot 3 CENTS per word fee for quality writing, I leave you with this.

    Sure, the Government can ban 30 round mags for rifles.

    All you really need is a single shot pistol.

    Take that HOWEVER you want.

    I know that since I'm now your FAVORITE for pointing out that you're a SLAVE LABORER, if you actually want DECENT writing, this chick writes quality articles ALWAYS. It's what she does.

    https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/niches-on-sale-this-week-legal-travel-social-media.2641072/

    She also charges REASONABLE fees for the caliber writing she does.

    I'd offer you my service but I'd be insulted to receive any less than 5 cents a word from someone who's clearly going to be difficult to work with, (if you are familiar with the game ET for Atari, you are automatically THAT much closer to knowing the game 'Cosmic Race' - a long standing '0' rating from Game Players Mag... So yeah, I know my games and I bet you do, too. So write about 'em yourself if you can't pony up the going rates)
