Socialwrite: Testing A New Gather Program (and How You Can Get Involved)
The Socialwrite program is in its test phase and the participating writers are being compensated differently than other Gather members:
- Participants do not earn Gather points. To the extent that they bring new people to Gather and increase our opportunity to earn additional revenue, they increase the points earning opportunity for other members, but they do not draw from the points pool themselves.
- Socialwriters are required to adhere to a program style guide for each post
- During this test, participants are compensated monthly solely on the unique audience each piece of their content generates for Gather
- During this test, participants can earn up to $450 each month
Currently, we are looking for Socialwriters in the following categories:
- Sports
- News
- Politics
- Entertainment
- Food (recipes/holiday content)
