I stumbled upon the wiseGEEK website and decided it looked like a great a place to apply to be a freelance writer. I saw that most of their articles pay between $10 and $14 dollars, which I think is excellent!
So, I applied online a their website here. Within a couple days I received an email that they liked my samples and invited me to test with them. The email was in a very friendly tone and included links to more information about wiseGEEK and their writing style. They asked me to reply to the email with additional information if I wanted to continue to pursue writing for them.
So, I sent in the additional information and the next day I was provided with a login name, password and instructions for claiming my first 3 articles. That was Saturday. The email stated I had 4 business days to claim and complete 3 articles. After I write and submit the articles, they will be reviewed and an editor will provide me with feedback. I wrote my three articles today, Monday. I’m so excited about writing for this company and I really hope to be hired. The article topics were really interesting and fun! I had a hard time picking just three.
So, now I wait. Freelance writers sure do have to wait a lot! I am excited to see if I passed this round of testing, and I understand I’ll have to do another batch of 3. The great thing is that wiseGEEK pays you for these articles, even if you end up not being hired.
I will keep you all posted!
If you currently work with wiseGEEK, I’d love to hear from you.
