The Global Geek News Blog is looking for writers!
May 6th
Greetings Readers!
Since I rarely have the time to make the quality blog posts that I write, I have decided that it is time to open the Global Geek News Blog up to other writers. If you have a passion for all things technology and some free time, you can shoot me an email at pcnerd37@globalgeeknews.com to apply to be a writer on the blog. I don’t really care much about what you write about as long as it is tech related. If you want to do product reviews, that is fine with me. If you want to post about tech news the second it comes out, that sounds great to me too! I am looking to give potential writers a lot of rope so that they can either improve the blog or hang themselves quickly so somebody else can replace them and hopefully do a better job. This is NOT a paid position. I have never made any money from blogging or podcasting and due it purely for the love of technology and the desire to express my opinions and I hope to have the same from anybody that writes on the blog. If the blog starts to actually make money and you are part of the reason why, I would be willing to give you a slice of the pie.
My goal in finding new writers is to have quality content on a regular basis. You are welcome to write posts as often as you would like although I would prefer at least one post a week. If you want to post daily or multiple times each day, that is fine with me too. I am not looking for a specific number of writers but I am hoping to get several but I don’t want too many cooks in the kitchen all trying to write about the same story.
Are you still interested? If so, here is what I would like from you before I let you start writing for the blog. Shoot me an email at pcnerd37@globalgeeknews.com and tell me why you would be a good writer for the blog. Describe any writing experience that you have as well as link me to some samples to your writing (no attachments please). Also, tell me how often you will be planning to write posts and if there is anything specific you would like to write about (gadgets, phones, social media, start-ups, etc). From there, I will determine if you are a good fit for the blog and bring you in on a trial basis and assuming you do well, you will officially become a part of the Global Geek News Blog. Its that simple, so if you are interested, shoot me an email!
