I Need Good Writers for Original Content for Real Pay

Hello my fellow Steemians!

If you have been following me for any amount of time, you will have noticed that one of my strategies for success on Steemit is leveraging your posts into income outside of Steemit. Well, this has happened for me personally and now I need to find some others that are willing to consistently put out good content for a consistent income.

Background Story

About a month ago, I made my normal posts on FaceBook and V Kontakte about my annual BBQ that I do at Lake Ladoga near St. Petersburg. This was the 6th annual event and I promoted it pretty well with people in the St. Petersburg area - especially Ex-pats living here.

So, a British guy that owns a publishing company with some very successful websites is living here as a result of his wife's job and he noticed the post on the FB St. Petersburg expats forum. He's a curious guy and went and checked out my FB page and saw links to my Steemit articles. After reading my Steemit articles (many of which are history related), he sent me a message asking to meet up.

After a couple of beers and a cigar and one more meeting with his chief editor, they offered me a job of my dreams. I am now the editor of the Warhistoryonline.com site and in charge of putting out new content daily for a readership that is in the millions.

That was 4 weeks ago.

Since then we have identified what needs to happen in order to make the site even more profitable. One of those things is to bring on new writers that can produce quality, original content consistently. Therefore, I have a real opportunity to offer anyone interested in writing and getting paid.

The Offer

I need writers for the military history site to produce articles of 800 to 2000 words. No pictures necessary as we have licenses to obtain all necessary photos. However, personal photos of high quality are always welcome and credit is given. The topics can vary, but they need to be military history related.

In addition, the company owns several other websites including the very popular The Vintage News and Abandoned Spaces, which also need writers under the same circumstances with the exception that Abandoned Spaces requires some photo work to accompany articles.

Here is the breakdown -

You write and/or produce photos - 800 words or more (max 2000) of original content.
We pay you in USD or in Steem monthly for your articles.
Authors get $50 USD for each article.

There are no catches or additional fine print. Simple. Produce good, original articles and get paid. Payments are made monthly and will be transferred to your bank account or another method like Steem.

This offer is for native English speakers only because the main audience is in the U.S. with secondary audiences in the U.K., Australia, Canada, and South Africa. There is some viewership in Europe as well, but again, it is all in English.

If you are interested, you can leave a comment below with your Discord info or you can contact me directly in Discord - EnergyAddict #9726. Once you contact me and I answer any questions you have, you will need to send me a sample article for review. If we like it, we will publish it as your first story. If not, I will let you know why.

Bonus

Maybe you're making so much money on Steemit or whatever you do IRL and don't have the time or inclination to write more. That's all good. If you refer someone to me, I will give you 1 SBD for every referral you send that gets an article published. No limit.

Conclusion

I have faith that the Steemit community can provide me with the necessary talent to make this work because I've been reading such good authors for the last 6 months. Many of you are out there finding good writers daily through initiatives like the #payitforward contest, @newbieresteem, @qurator, @asapers, etc.

Help me connect with these writers and everyone wins.

Here is the site that I am the editor of - warhistoryonline.com

I look forward to hearing from you all.

Best wishes.

Hi @energyaddict22. I'm interested in this and will have more than 30min late at night available soon.

I'm trying to find you on Discord but have been unsuccessful. Clearly, Discord is not set up for my vast intellect...

Could you please look me up there: Reon#5215

You have two different version of your discord handle in the post above. One with 22, one without. Neither works.

EnergyAddict#9726 - Make sure to capitalize. :) Sorry for the confusion.

The only piece with a bit of history I have done on Steemit is this one.

https://steemit.com/teamsouthafrica/@reonlouw/mandela-day

Anything I would be able to do would be South African. Would that be of any interest to you?

lol! I cannot get into that place at all!!!! I'm with you @reonlouw! I tell people I get a swirly thing when I try and they think I am a nut.

Hey, I have the best comedy/satire blog on steemit. I can write about war , but only in a humorous/satirical way. Check out my blog: some articles are more cutting, some are sillier. Here is a war related one I did recently (it's silly)

Hello. I certainly appreciate your humor. However, it doesn't quite fit our wheelhouse. :)

This is pretty much awesome; now I'm getting to see more benefits of being on steemit and it's totally credible.
Of course i wouldn't forget to say congratulations on your new job

Do the articles need to be exclusively 'military history site' related? I'm all up for writing, but that's not really my specialised area.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Yes, I understand. However, the site name kind of says it all - warhistoryonline.com

We have several other sites that we own and we will be looking for some writers with at least 2 of them in the near future. I will post about here when it happens.

Well, I wrote an article about Bruneval raid 3 months ago. You can check it out. My discord is Tygrysek#0369. I am not a native English speaker, but I don't think that being a native should be a criteria - sometimes even natives make worse mistakes than non-natives. Anyway, you can my article and let me know if you can recognize that it was written by a Polish guy. https://busy.org/@thomaslucania/bruneval-raid-the-most-audacious-theft-in-the-history-of-ww-ii

Поздравляю вас с новой должностью! Прекрасная возможность для многих людей научиться писать серьезные тексты! Жаль, я не владею английским на хорошем уровне, я бы обязательно согласилась на ваше предложение. Удачи вам на новой работе!!!

I'll hit you up on Discord later--I have some old college history research papers on hand that could give you an idea of whether my style would work or not :) This would be like my dream job...!!!

Hi! Thanks for reaching out, @energyaddict26 . One question though, must one's sample article be about history? I have a lot of sample articles from previous works but none of the are history-related.

Interested as I love history. Send me a message on discord. Basicstoliving#9741

I tried to add you but it didn't recognize the name. Are there additional capital letters?

Congratulations on landing that job!! It is a perfect fit for you, isn't it?!! :) I'll keep my eye out during my travels here for any good historical writing I see! Good for you :)
