Freelance Writer Jobs - Upfront Pay at World Start!

Monday, January 5, 2009

WorldStart.com has freelance writer jobs available for anyone who can write computer tips. These don't have to be extremely technical but they do have to be detailed. The articles are published in their email newsletter, Computer Tips & Techniques.

The pay is really fantastic - from $35 to $65 per article. Minimum word count is 400 words and pay is increased by $10 if you include screenshots. They have back issues available if you want to check out the general format of previously published work.

From the website:

"We are looking for general windows, internet, and e-mail tips. Tips that relate to one specific program or hardware device usually are not appropriate for this publication.

The newsletter has two primary sections - Computers 101 & Tip of the Day. The Computers 101 section is presented in a Q&A style and generally covers a topic beginners would be interested in."


If you're interested, check out the WorldStart website for more information. Good luck!

Great job on the article. I have looked through many sites promising to provide resources for freelance writers. Most of them were scams.

You're article delivers.

Thanks for the tip, Willow. I got paid with World Start recently. I followed your link to the site, and there's a box where you can submit an idea you want to write about related to their site's theme.

A couple of days later I received an email from the editor giving me the go ahead to write the tip, and he asked for my PayPal email. I wrote the tip, added some screen shots and sent it in.

Three days later I got an email from the editor asking if the tip was good to go? I replied, yes. A couple days later he sent me $55 to my PayPal.

Because they have so many freelance writers, the site will not accept more than 1 or 2 tips per week, maybe less than that. But they usually post payment within a couple of days of publishing.

So if anyone is interested in making at least $35, you may want to try this out.
