Application Criteria

Please apply to this position if you are:

  • Available to write at least one post per week.
  • A native or fluent English speaker.
  • Technically inclined and have a deep knowledge about Windows.
  • Creative and can write interesting articles with original, quality content.

Compensation Offered

RSVR85—a writer for the site—and I have experimented over the last week with the following, which provides good compensation for high-quality articles:
To receive compensation for your articles, you will need a Google Adsense account—that’s all. After that, your ads will appear at the top of every article, you write, 50% of the time. Any genuine clicks on these ads will generate direct revenue to you. Ads at the top of posts have a CPM (earnings per 1000 impressions) of around $2. With the most popular articles seeing close to (and over for a couple of posts) 1,000,000 page views, you can see the earning potential. The key to being successful as a Windows Guides writer is writing high-quality content that attracts many visitors.

How To Apply

To apply for the position email me with:

  1. An explanation of how you meet the application criteria above.
  2. Your name and location.
  3. Where your skills with Windows are (i.e. Customization, Software, Networking etc.)
  4. A sample article for the site (this article won’t be used unless you’re hired as a writer.)

Please be sure to include all of the above.

Apply now

* Your Google Adsense ad will appear 50% of the time, on all posts you publish. Higher quality posts will attract traffic and increase revenues. You will need to sign up for a free Google Adsense account if you don’t already have one.

Here's what I do:

I created an Excel spreadsheet that is broken down by each type of account (IRA, 401k, etc.), and each of those is further broken down to the individual stock or mutual fund, showing the units, current price, and total. I have a portfolio saved on Yahoo! Finance with each of these individual stocks and mutual funds. At any point during the day, I can click on this portfolio's name, choose "Download Spreadsheet", and that will list the current prices in Excel format. I copy the prices to the spreadsheet that has all my accounts. The numbers are linked automatically to update all my accounts to reflect the new prices (so I don't have to cut and paste each new price). Further, I've set up the spreadsheet to include charts that show what percentage of my money is in each account (IRA, 401k, etc.) and also how my money breaks down by type (large cap, small cap, international, bonds, etc.).

As long as you have Excel on both your PC and your Mac, this should work for you. Further, you can save the file in Yahoo! Briefcase (briefcase.yahoo.com) so it is accessible to you whether you are at work or home.

If you don't need something that thorough, I would suggest just setting up multiple portfolios in Yahoo! Finance (i.e., one for your Roth IRA, one for your 401k, etc.).
