EXPERT AUTHORS SOUGHT
Know More Media invites you to become a contributing author to our blog
network specializing in business information and news. If you have a
passion, knowledge, or expertise in a certain business topic or industry,
you may be an ideal candidate to become a Know More Media Author. Get paid
to write from anywhere you can find an Internet connection.
1. Paid Contract Authors - We sign on authors as independent contractors
(or freelance writers, if you will) and pay them per blog post they write. We typically pay most new authors per published post (each post needs to be
100 words), along with additional compensation per comment made on external
blogs, and the author needs to post at least one article a day 5 days a
week (M-F).
2. Accelerator Program - Partner Authors - We partner with consultants/
business professionals/established writers who write on our blog in
exchange for prime advertising real estate on the blog to promote their
company/website/product, which will generate new business leads and website
traffic for them. Other benefits: they retain ownership of the content they
write, they become part of our business blog network, benefiting from the
linking power from us, they can increase their reputation as thought
leaders and experts in their area, and the posting frequency expectations
are slightly lower.
Topics Available:
* Call center customer service – HelpDeskNotes.com
* Sales lead generating – TopLeadGenerators.com
* Investing fundamentals – GrowYourFunds.com
* Construction industry news – AlicensetoBuild.com
* Mortgage industry news – MortgageVox.com
* Real estate industry news – PropertyMaven.com
* China as an emerging economic super power – ZhongHuaRising.com
What we look for in an author:
*Passion. You must love the topic - possess a passion for it. You’ll be
writing on it extensively; if you don’t have a love for it, you will never
endure. Plus, this passion will shine through in your writing; it will be
infectious.
*Business Expertise. You must be a personal expert in your topic or field.
Know More Media is a place where information seekers come to find new
information, new advice, and original opinions. If you can only re-hash
what everyone else is saying on the topic, sorry, but you’re not a fit for
us. We want expertise from its source - you.
*Writing Ability. Superior blogging is both what you say and how you say
it. Great writing is the ability to transform your thoughts, feelings, and
knowledge into the written word in a lucid, concise, and entertaining
manner. Can you edit out your own typos? Do you use proper grammar? Can you
express yourself clearly? We don’t edit your content for you - you must be
able to do it yourself.
*A Voice. As we like to say, “It’s all about the voice.” Plain, boring, dry
toast, just-tell-the-facts writing is not what we want. We want
personality; we want uniqueness; we want you to have a singular,
identifiable voice that people want to listen to.
How to Apply
Email us with the following information: 1. Your name and desired blog URL.
2. Three (3) sample blog posts addressing your desired topic. 3. A
paragraph explaining why you are specifically qualified in the topic. Additional information available upon request.
Compensation: TBD
