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 Style Channel
We're currently expanding our style channel and are seeking style and fashion writers for a number of topics, including 15-minute fashion, accessories, budget style, business casual, DIY fashion, hair removal, men's big & tall, men's hair, skin care, and vintage clothing.
Many of our Guides are professional fashion journalists with years of reporting experience in their topic, and we encourage people with style journalism and/or professional fashion 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.
