Journalism has been around forever. However, modern day journalism offers opportunities that weren’t around even a decade ago. The more traditional opportunities such as writing for print still exist, but in addition there are now journalistic opportunities online. These opportunities are not only exciting, they continue to grow.
If you’d like to break out of the traditional journalism opportunities, be sure to start scouting out what’s available online. There are some excellent newspapers online such as the Examiner, that not only have tons of categories to write under, they cover the globe. Find a city close to home, an area where you have expertise or would enjoy working under, and then apply. Papers like the Examiner are very authentic so be prepared for a full application process. Others include AllVoices and HubPages.
Will you get paid? While some may actually pay for the content you write, many use a revenue sharing formula, where you own a percentage of what they earn. There are many opportunities here. Take the time to explore what those may be and how they can work for you.
There are also opportunities with online magazines, and many of these pay. Some are for full time or part time positions, some are contractual, and some are volunteer. Consider where your interests lie, then seek out magazines that interest you and that are a good match for your skills.
There are other online opportunities. Press releases are in high demand and require a journalistic way of thinking and writing. This highly specialized area pays well and the competition is much less than in other areas such as article writing. You can find press release contracts on freelance for hire sites or directly on company sites. LinkedIn is also a good way to connect with potential clients.
When it comes to journalism opportunities online you need to think outside the box. There are tons of different types of writing opportunities online, and since you already have excellent writing skills you can put them to work a number of different ways such as writing content, writing articles, doing SEO content, writing e-books, doing academic work, or writing reports… and there’s plenty more. Why not take some time to explore what those opportunities are and how they might fit with your skills and your expectations.
It’s a brand new frontier with all kinds of new and exciting income opportunities, so don’t stay stuck in the past, warp to the future and be a part of it.
