Windows 7 Blogger Wanted

ACP Magazines is looking for a Windows 7 news/tips blogger:

We’re looking for an energetic blogger to cover developments in Windows 7 and cool new software for Windows.

Our site is a mainstream tech news site based in Australia, published by one of the country’s largest publishers. We have a worldwide audience, and applicants are welcome to apply from anywhere in the world.

We focus on news for regular PC users, not IT/business news. We aim for news that would have appeal to both new users and experienced users where possible. (For example, we’d be interested in stories as diverse as the small improvements in Windows 7 compared to Vista/XP to tips on tweaking your Windows installation for better performance on different systems.)

Applicants should have the following:

* Extensive knowledge of, and objective view of Windows (e.g. you can see both sides of the argument about Windows and Microsoft).
* Strong involvement in the operating system enthusiast community online (community sites, discussion boards, etc).
* Heaps of ideas about things that should be written about in relation to Windows 7
* Passion for the topic, with strong opinions (and the reasoning to back them up solidly with facts)
* Excellent writing skills — good grammar and spelling, and an understanding of writing punchily and concisely for web audiences.
* Enough time to write posts daily.
* Understanding of social media (ie Digg, Stumbleupon, Facebook, Twitter etc.)
* Knowledge of basic image optimisation — cropping, resizing, saving in web file formats, etc.

What we offer:

* Get paid to write about something you love.
* Exposure on a very high traffic tech news site
* Payment per post (no variable traffic-based payments from $0 upwards…! A flat rate of $US10 for posts of minimum length 300 words and at least one picture/screenshot).
* Payment monthly direct to your bank account by EFT/wire transfer. We cover wire transfer and currency conversion charges.
