Snark not intended... but do you receive any cash money in exchange for sharing your "passion"?

 

[yardbarkerjobs]

This is indeed a paid role. Like many outlets within the industry, we use a compensation system based primarily on the traffic your content drives but we do offer some flexibility on rates, seek to provide our writers with support and feedback, and have a team of editors who help review work before it publishes.

It might not equate to a PT/FT income for most but it's not designed to. No freelance role is.

Thanks. I wasn't trying to be a jerk, was genuinely curious.

How far is it from Tahoe, again? This is vital info...

We understand the hesitation, wicked. No worries.

These are 100% remote freelance roles, Rockbottom.

Compensation based on traffic (let me guess, there are people in the Yardbarker network making six figures) is the absolute worst. Pay people a base rate. It's not that hard.

 

[yardbarkerjobs]

There are contributors who have moved into a flat rate per post, once we get to know them and they know our system. That option certainly exists here.

You aren't going to find many freelancers making six figures at any outlet, Electric Boogaloo.

 

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

I didn't ask for six figures. I asked for a basic livable wage.

Five figures? Are these handsomely compensated folks actually "staff?" Per dictionary.com: a group of persons, as employees, charged with carrying out the work of an establishment or executing some undertaking.
