Job description:

We give you the power to take the wheel, write and publish articles free from editorial pressure on an international platform.

·         You get complete freedom - publish what you want and when you want.

·         You can write news and informational content. While of course we welcome specialists on particular topics, you are not confined to only write on one subject matter.

·         You will produce stories that are compelling, factually correct, creative, and written in a clear manner.

Compensation:

We are committed to a fair compensation system based on the performance of each article which, in most cases, ends up paying more than most freelancers would earn for a fix-priced piece.

·         All articles can earn up to $150 based on a number of views.

·         Senior editors earn a fixed rate per article they edit.

·         Certified Contributors earn a fixed rate per article on top of performance earnings.

Qualifications:

·         Subject matter expertise and ability to write interesting, informed articles.

·         Social network and SEO knowledge to attract an audience and increase the visibility of articles.

·         Enthusiasm for the platform and desire to change the world of journalism.

Career development:

We are growing rapidly so it is an exciting time to join our company. This is reflected in the great opportunities for career development in this role:

·         You will join Blasting News as a Junior Contributor. Your articles will be reviewed by our senior editors.

·         Once you have gained experience on the platform, you can be promoted to Mid Contributor and can publish in total editorial freedom, whenever you want without waiting for editorial approval.

·         You can be made a Senior Contributor based on the results you reach and the level of interaction with the community. As a Senior, you may publish your own articles without approval, be paid more to edit articles and take a greater role in community management.

·         If you perform exceptionally well, you can become a Certified Contributor, one of our Blasting News elite journalists, and report breaking news first-hand.
