akowally: Ok. So what tips can you give if I want to start applying for writing jobs in papers now?

mukiha: Study the publication and find out their style, subject preferences, article lengths [daily newspapers in Kenya generally have 300, 500, 750 1,000 and 1,500 word articles], paragraph lengths etc.

Think of a topical subject.

Think of a “refreshingly new” angle to the topic.

Write an article and send it to the editor.

If it is good enough, it will be published... and you will get paid...

Wont they do it on the 'Letters to the Editor' section like for R.A. Massie-Bloemfield? How do they separate those who want to be columnists from the rest of the guys?

BTW, I never miss your articles @mukihaApplause Applause

Due to our great work, pay has increased from 50 bob to $1 per article. You choose the method of payment either:
1. Via Paypal and you withdraw using a KCB prepaid debit card
2. Via M-Pesa. I tell you the rate I have gotten the cash and any fees that may have been charged on it.

Paypal of course is better since you will see the dollar rate for yourself and there will be no trust issues. For M-Pesa you'll have to trust my rates.

I need many writers so if you can write please follow the instructions earlier on this thread.

@aemathenge
Please send the sample to akowally at gmail dot com. If it is good I’ll give you more work and you’ll be paid every two weeks. The payment methods are as above. I’ll tell you if your article has made the cut. If not I’ll tell you why and you can correct it then I submit.
Plagiarized articles will not be paid for.
If you delay with deadlines you’ll be paid a percentage of your work depending on how long. Delay for over 24 hours and the articles will be reassigned and you are not paid.
In short don’t plagiarize, follow instructions and send in time.
@Mukiha
Thanks for sharing. I’ll keep in touch

I must admit i came across this information today, after several on-line offers that according to me do not sound very credible. I would like to give my presentation for your perusal and action, could you kindly guide me on how i can send it over to you, i have done it in word and i must admit i am a novice in this area.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THIS GUY. I did several articles for him but after 10 days, he sent me 500 to my MPESA, then started sending me work at weird hours, like 11pm or giving very short deadlines ( Like 2-4 hrs, like I didn't have a life)

So upon complaining, he decided to claim clients are not paying him and so he cannot pay. For better deals, just create your own profile at<< >

You can get as much as $5 for 500 words and get paid immediately on completion. Plus there is the option of milestone, where the employer places money in escrow for you. Then he cannot refuse to pay you after you write.

Hi. It is easy to create your own profile at freelancer.comwhre you can see more of what client need and nedotiate your rates. Some BMR articles (150) words pay upto $1 and they are easier to generate. I can send you samples if you are interested.

Otherwise this guy will give you a hell of time with your money
