Before you share any personal information with us, we’d like to tell you a little bit about ourselves:
Everyone, like onions, has layers. If you’d like to peel back more of ours, feel free to email staff@onlinewritingjobs.com and one of our in-office staff members will help you.
Now that you’ve gotten to know us better, we’d love to know more about you!
OK, now we need a sample. Oh, but wait… You don’t work for free? How about for “exposure dollars”? For hugs? No? Just cold, hard cash? (Well, not literally; that would be an accounting nightmare.) Deal.
Here’s one more little tidbit about OWJ: We don’t want to work with writers who work for free. We understand the effort, or lack thereof, that goes into free work. So we’re willing to pony up $10 for all accepted writing samples.
Get accepted. Get a job. And get $10. Not a bad gig so far! So here’s what you need to do:
Note: Accepted applicants receiving payment for their original writing sample relinquish ownership of the content to Online Writing Jobs and are not permitted to use, sell, or publish the writing sample elsewhere. A payment of $10 will be made available for invoicing through the Online Writing Jobs Writer Panel.
Would you like to show us more? Well, OK. If you’ve written and published content elsewhere on the Web, we’d love to take a peek. Please, no personal references or thesis papers: We’re sure they are well-written and glowing, but we’re most interested in niche and commercial content. Paste in the URLs of your original work below.
All jokes aside, this is important. Please bear with us as we collect the necessary documents needed to comply with internal processes and best practices.
In order to comply with IRS regulations, all applicants must provide a copy of their valid government-issued ID (such as a driver’s license, state identification card, passport, etc.) as proof of identity and residency. We also require a completed and signed W-9 income tax form. We do not need your first-born (though we might be interested in your second if you’re not too attached — can s/he write yet?).
How do you submit these required documents and wrap up this application with a nice, neat little bow? A few different ways:

Once your application with that great writing sample, copy of your government-issued ID, and completed and signed W-9 income tax form have been received, our in-office team will review your application and follow up within 1-3 business days regarding your application status. If you don’t hear from us within that time frame, something has gone horribly wrong. Please email us!
