ProductWiki

Experience: 3 Years (2008 – 2011)

Position: Contributing Editor

I wrote unbiased product reviews on various products ranging all the way from consumer electronics to mini appliances.

The typical review involved describing each product in greater detail, and outlining key features that made it stand out from similar products.

The actual reviews for each product were completed by the community (wiki style), so my position was more about identifying each product. At first glance, it may seem like the only reviews I offered were those in the comments, but I actually wrote hundreds of product descriptions on the site. They are not tied to any particular account.

The site has since been sold by its original creators and no longer uses the same review and publication process.

The site has since converted to a news and press release aggregation service.

I was one of several managing editors that selected and doled out topics to writers, and also ensured that content was published in a timely fashion. As part of my editorial duties, I managed social media accounts for the website.

I did not remain long because of the pay structure which was not ideal at the time.

 

AndroidPIT

Experience: 5 Months (2012 – 2013)

Position: Contributing Editor

Payment strictly relied on traffic, but since the site was new this meant pay was almost nonexistent. This was not ideal, so I did not remain long.

I continued to write for this company from the time I was hired until they sold the site for profit.

My client, Colin Klinkert, had this to say about me:

“Briley is a strong writer who has ‘free reign’ on our sites now to post whenever he can, we trust him and the quality of his work that much.”
