MacTips Writer Wanted

MacTips is still growing and to keep pace with the growth, we’re looking for 1 more writer.

Do the following attributes describe you?

  • Self motivated, able to take instructions and run with them
  • Able to meet deadlines on time
  • Interested in helping other Mac users
  • Consider yourself an Intermediate to Advanced Mac user
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest Apple news
  • Have lots of ideas and want to express them

What’s are the requirements for writers?

  • Writers will be required to write 1 intermediate to advanced tip per day
  • Tips are not just links to other sites. If it is a link to another site, a summary and more information should be provided
  • Tips include but are not limited to increasing productivity, hacking visual effects, removing annoyances, speed tips, useful keyboard shortcuts, unique OS X apps, etc…
  • Writer should have Leopard 10.5 installed
  • Bonus: Own items like iPhone, iPod Touch, Apple TV, etc… (This is not required, please apply if your Mac is all you have)

What are writers paid?

Currently writers are paid $150/month. This will be increased over time as you are with MacTips longer.

Tips take from 10 to 15 minutes to write. This is about 7.5 hours per month. This comes out to around $20/hour. Minus a few extra hours for research and responding to comments brings the hourly wage down to about $13/hour.

We’re looking for quality, not quantity.

How do I apply?

If you want to apply to write for MacTips, please send a short reason why you think you’re qualified to .

No need to send example tips yet–I’ll get back to you and request those.

I’m looking forward to hearing from everyone.


 
 

One Response to “MacTips Writer Wanted”

  1. I teach multimedia for journalists at a private university in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I am a retired editor from the Associated Press. My specialty is on search engines. I scour the Web everyday for new ideas and techniques on how to do web-based research. I think I can contribute to Mac Tips with some of the info I find. My website will be published in a few weeks. It is really a workshop for multimedia stories my students produce. Thanks.
