--- WRITING FOR NEWS FOR SHOPPERS ----
Our primary goal is to provide the latest news and analysis to consumers who are in the process of deciding how they are going to spend their money and time
We also provide updates, reviews, and the latest information about products that have fan bases (tech, games, tv shows, etc).
We do not assign specific stories to writers. You will be responsible for following your topics of interest and writing about breaking news and events.
You should have an in-depth knowledge of your subject, so that you can add value to your stories.
>> If you are writing about a tablet - you should have the ability to detail it's specs, provide background information, compare it to its competition.
>> If you are writing about a movie, you should know the industry, have knowledge about the actors, be familiar with reviews of the film, be able to identify it's intended audenice.
>> If you are writing about a sale or deal, you should be able to analyze whether it is a good deal or a scam, why the price has dropped, what the future of the product is, how it compares price-wise to others.
>> If you are writing about a store or an offer - how does the offer work, what does it include, what's the fine print, what does a shopper need to know?
These are just a few examples - the niche is actually huge. But whatever you write about, you need to be able to do so with authority, providing useful, timely, accurate information.
