Join the BGR Editorial Team
For those who dedicate their free time to staying updated on the rapidly evolving tech landscape, a new professional opportunity has emerged. BGR is actively recruiting freelance writers to help report on a broad spectrum of technology topics, ranging from the latest smartphone releases and computing advancements to critical industry trends like the evolution of artificial intelligence.
The publication is seeking individuals who possess curiosity, enthusiasm, and a high level of proficiency in the English language. Ideal candidates will have the ability to distill complex industry developments into engaging content that is accessible to a broad readership.
Compensation and Workflow
BGR offers flexible compensation models to suit different working styles, providing the choice between an hourly rate or pay per word:
- Hourly rate: $21 – $25 per hour.
- Per-word rate: $0.08 – $0.10 per word.
These rates are determined based on the applicant's level of experience. Successful candidates will receive payment for their initial trial article, as well as for the time spent during the onboarding and training process. A notable benefit of this role is that writers are not required to pitch story ideas; instead, a dedicated internal team provides a daily list of assignments, allowing writers to select the topics that best fit their expertise.
Remote Flexibility and Editorial Support
As part of Static Media, this position is fully remote. Freelancers have the liberty to work from any location they find most productive, whether at home or in a professional workspace. The schedule is equally adaptable, accommodating those who prefer a part-time commitment of 10 to 20 hours per week as well as those looking for full-time involvement. Additionally, published work reaches a massive audience, as content is frequently syndicated across various external platforms.
A core component of the BGR experience is their editorial philosophy. As the company emphasizes, «Our team of considerate and collaborative editors works with our writers day in and day out to ensure everything is up to our standard.» Editors strive to maintain the unique voice of each writer, offering guidance only when necessary to enhance the quality of the final piece.
Consistency and Growth
Finding steady freelance work can be a challenge in the current media climate, but BGR prides itself on providing a consistent flow of assignments. Many contributors have maintained long-term relationships with the platform, remaining for over a year and beyond. While daily assignments are provided, the editorial team remains open to considering unique story pitches from writers as well.
