Writers Wanted
Due to the ongoing economic downturn stemming from COVID-19, we have had to reduce payment for new content. Advertising has taken a major hit and seriously affected our revenue. Keep an eye on this page as rates could change a lot over the next few weeks.
ISKMogul Adventures is looking to expand, and we need writers to help us cover all of the interesting gaming news out there. If you’re passionate about gaming and want to make some easy money from home, here’s your chance.
Are you a casual gaming fan, journalism student, intern or just someone looking to get their foot in the door of games journalism? If so, then ISKMogul Adventures wants to hear from you. And even if you don’t have experience with writing, say you’re a Twitch streamer looking to write about a game you enjoyed streaming, we’d love to work with you too.
We’re seeking motivated and talented writers to write reviews, previews and general news for a variety of gaming platforms. Whether it’s writing about PC games, console gaming or writing about a particular MMO, whatever. If you’re interested in games journalism, we would be happy to have you on-board.
We’re looking to take on anyone who wishes to write for us, as long as they maintain good quality content.
Let’s Talk Money
We aren’t the biggest gaming website in the world, so we’ll pay you what we realistically can.
Payment is based on both the type of content and the volume of traffic it receives. A basic preview article like this Mortal Kombat piece, focusing on a daily news item will pay a certain amount. While a much more thorough game guide like this Path of Exile guide will pay a bit more.
$0.75 per 300-500 word news article, op-ed, or other item submitted. $0.10 per 200 pageviews on each item of this type.
$1.50 per 500+ word niche piece, review or game guide submitted. $0.15 per 200 pageviews on each item of this type.
We pay based on how many pageviews your content gets in the first two weeks after publication. The typical lifespan of written content for hitting high impression counts is normally within those two weeks from going live.
All positions are paid based on CPM (share of revenue per 1,000 page impressions on your content). Payment is made on a Net 7 schedule. For example, payment owed for a previous week running from August 6th to August 12th would be paid on the following Monday, August 20th. All payments are made via PayPal.
Authors get indefinite hosting of their content so they may use the content they write to gain exposure for other professional efforts. You can also ask to remove your content at any time.
Interested parties can find our current offerings below.
General Writers for Articles and Previews
Qualifications
- Experience in Journalism, Communications and Creative Writing is preferred but not required
- Familiarity with blogging platforms (WordPress) and social media
- A strong sense of self-motivation
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Requirements
We have very few requirements in order to be considered an active writer on our site. If you decide to move on from writing for us at any time, rest assured that your bylines and content will remain intact and unaltered for the lifetime of the site. Unless of course you request to be removed from the site. We don’t own your content either, it’s yours. The only thing we ask is that you do not publish the exact same content elsewhere while it still resides on our site. You can post a similar story on another site. Please edit it sufficiently so as to not negatively impact our own SEO efforts.
Above all else, we want to maintain content quality, so certain types of content may receive harsher scrutiny than others. We’ll be much more lenient towards a simple post about a new launch trailer than we will about a full written review for a $60 AAA game. That’s not to discourage anyone from putting the time and effort into lengthy and thorough posts, rather an expression that we’ll be less lenient on mistakes or omissions in those kinds of works.
- Each article must be 300 words in length minimum, with longer reviews and game guides having a minimum of 500 words
- No copied content, if you want to post similar content you wrote from another site here, it’s going to need significant changes
- Excellent English grammar and spelling
- A thorough and in-depth knowledge of the topics being written about
- Reliable points of contact
Niche Content Writers for Certain Games
Requirements
- 500+ word articles are preferred for more focused content, with a good mix of outbound links to related content, related keywords and a good focus on SEO.
- Excellent English grammar and spelling
- A thorough and in-depth knowledge of the topics being written about
- Reliable points of contact
