I applied to the Simply Good Media job. Does anyone know if they pay anything? The posting didn’t say and I know their last offer didn’t either. Wondering if anyone is blogging for their network.
Thanks!
Yes, I was wondering the same thing…
I believe it was a % of revenue if I remember right.
I don’t blog for them, but if I understand right their ads say they pay in a percentage off of merchandise. Like one pays in 50% off Ikea merchandise and another pays in 50% off recycled paper products or something like that. So that’s not the same as paying in revenue share. You’re paid with discounted products. At least that’s how I read it.
They pay in a % off of merchandise? Well, that stinks. I can’t very well buy merchandise, be it discounted or not, without an actual paycheck.
Argh.
I replied to this company a couple of weeks ago. If I had understood the pay structure, I wouldn’t have bothered.
Wow, that’s good to know. I was considering trying to pick up one of their gigs, but now I think I might REconsider. Thanks to everyone who provided info about this.
sorry everyone – I went back and rechecked the email I received from them. They pay $6 per post ($5 per post during 90 day probation). They do also give bonuses for great bloggers.
The 50% off in their ad is NOT referring to the pay. The blogs are based on a low budget lifestyle. So if you LOVE shopping sales and 50% off sales get you excited, that is what they are looking for.
Thanks for the clarification, Amy.
It’s funny there is a writing job posted in Grand Junction, CO (my hometown) considering I left there to find jobs! Small world…
Hi Jodee,
I just wanted to mention that the leads presented each business day have been a huge part of my career rebuilding efforts. I don’t know if I’d have the time to scour for these jobs, so thank you VERY much!
*hugs*
I agree with Jodee. I don’t think I would find half the jobs scouring the web for them each day. If I did I think I would spend so much time searching that I wouldn’t have time writing.
A big thank you from me as well.
sorry I meant Jenn, typed it wrong. LOL
Well, thank you very much – you’ve made my day!
Doesn’t anyone need a Classical Music writer? That’s the dream gig I keep looking for.
Ah, well, we have the dream gig for a Rugby fanatic, at least.
Erik,
That’s how I felt when it came to writing about art (particularly the art I like to create). It was my “dream gig” and I *never* thought I’d see it happen. Now that I’ve been searching (A LOT) in the *right* places, I’ve been finding more and more opportunities. It’s not high-paying, but it’s quick work (that “write what you know” slant) and worth it to me.
You’ll get there.
Sirenavs,
Hee hee, I didn’t even notice the typo until I read the next comment.
Amy,
Thanks for clarifying that they do pay in something other than merchandise. One of their gigs did interest me, but I couldn’t justify doing it just for a discount on recycled paper (or whatever it was). Next time they post a gig, I might apply.
Thx for the leads!
