[ If you are looking for a fun writing project to do in your spare time that can drive traffic back to your site or blog, please read on… If you are a professional writer looking for the next big gig, you will probably want to skip to another job posting ]
[Good to see you still here!]
You’re an activity enthusiast who loves to write. The activity enthusiast side of you is into many different activities and always looking for more time to try new ones. Perhaps you have just completed your first triathlon, can bake Parisian style pastries from scratch, know how to hit a killer kick serve, regularly climb 5.12b walls without breaking a sweat, or have just taken the perfect black and white photo at your ski competition. The aspiring writer side of you loves writing and has led you to start a blog or two and keeps you updating your various blogs and social networking pages. You write because you have insight and you love sharing what you know. Plus, you seem to have a knack for getting people excited about the things you love to do and that’s a fun feeling.
Who we are:
Rollick Guides has just launched as the first comprehensive interactive website dedicated to making life more fun by focusing only on participatory recreational activities. Participatory recreational activities are active pursuits, not just spectator events. Think playing the guitar, not just going to a concert. The website is a cross between a magazine, a directory and an online community for such activities. Imagine Yahoo! Groups meets Tennis Magazine or Cook’s Illustrated. Except it’s for over 30 different activities all in one place, and conversations across activities are all inter-related.
What you’ll do:
A focus of community interaction on Rollick Guides is the sharing of tips around people’s recreational interests. We have created a fun format for displaying tips. We are looking for people to write tips about activities in which they are an enthusiast. This opportunity is for you if you enjoy writing about what you already know and love. No research required!
# NOTE: Tips are very short-form content, not the feature stories atop our activity specific home pages
# Activity enthusiasts should be able to write each tip in under 15 minutes
# Your tips and profile give you visibility on the site and you can add a link back to your blog or website
How it works:
# Get approved by Rollick Guides
# Once approved, you’ll earn $5 for each tip that is accepted on the site
# We will also provide a matching donation of $0.50 to the American Heart Association for each tip
# You must commit to writing at least 4 tips
# Payment will be made by PayPal every two weeks, by the 8th and the 23rd of the month
# Program runs from Nov 10, 2008 to Dec 31, 2008
Get started:
Send us a reply with “Freelance Tip Writer” in the subject line and a cover memo a) convincing us that you would be a great tip writer, b) indicating how many tips you would like to write, and c) listing the activities from the site about which you feel qualified to write.
Thanks for your interest and Rollick ON!
