A Bunch of Paid Writing Opportunities, Week #5

Including my best pitching tips!

Hi again!

I realized I’ve been sharing all these writing opps when some people may have not learned how to pitch yet! Here are my best tips:

• Keep it around 250 words or less

• Aim for ideas that are interesting but also searchable / SEO-friendly

• Read the site to make sure it's the best fit for your idea

• Make sure the idea isn't already on the website

• Start with a brief introduction to who you are as a writer

• Write a suggested headline in bold

• Share details such as sources you'll speak to, why you're the best fit to write the article, why it's relevant now, any research/stats with hyperlinks, what kind of content you'll include/ask sources about, and an expected word count

• Check-in with the editor after a week 

Good luck!

And real quick, wanted to share this post from a friend + encourage y’all to donate/share if you can!

If you know me at all, you know that I have waited YEARS to go to grad school, due to financial concerns. NYU’s journalism program has offered me a partial scholarship which almost makes it possible. I am fundraising for the rest of the tuition here: ko-fi.com/nayanikawrites

Now onto the writing jobs and pitch calls :)
