Seeks Tech Journalists (Freelance)

Description:
We are seeking part-time writer-experts to serve as Guides for About.com, a subsidiary of the New York Times Company. As a Guide, you'll build and maintain a GuideSite, a topical section of About.com that contains:
  • Original content (articles, reviews, FAQs, tutorials) written by you
  • A blog featuring your unique voice and personality
  • A directory of the best content in your topic, whether it be your own work or links to other sites
  • A discussion forum where you serve as community leader
  • A bio page with your contact info
All About.com Guides are considered freelancers who work online and set their own schedules, giving them the flexibility to log on from anywhere in the world whenever they have the time. With no timesheets to fill out and no timecards to punch, working for About.com gives you the flexibility to write when you want, even if you have a full-time day job.

We base compensation on page views – the more traffic you generate, the more money you earn. But all Guides, no matter what, make a minimum of $725 a month. Want to know more? Visit http://beaguide.about.com.

Guide Openings on the Computing and Gadgets Channels
We're currently expanding our computing and gadgets & electronics channels and are seeking writers for a number of topics, including Focus on Windows, BlackBerry, Nintendo DS, PDAs, and podcasting.

Many of our Guides are professional tech journalists with years of reporting experience in their topic, and we encourage people with tech journalism and/or professional tech writing experience to apply. To submit an application, learn more about About.com or see our full list of available topics, please visit http://beaguide.about.com.
