Write for Travel Gear Blog

Travel Gear Blog is hiring!

Sure, we could list all sorts of corporate type job listings, but that’s not what it’s like here at Travel Gear Blog, or anywhere else in the BootsnAll Blog Empire for that matter. That’s not gonna happen, so here you are:

We’re looking for a few part-time writers for the following categories:

• Outdoor Gear: (Camping, Hiking, Rafting, Kayaking, Canoeing, Backpacking, Etc.)
• Outdoor Sports: (Snowboarding, Skiing, Snowmobiling, Golf, Cycling, Surfing, Wind Surfing, Etc.)
• Adventure Gear: (Rock & Mt. Climbing, Skydiving, Parasailing, Kiteboarding, Hangliding, Safari, Diving, etc)
• Business Travel Gear (Business Traveler focused items. Can include tech, luggage, productivity, etc.)
• Travel Gear (Bags, luggage, Accessories and Travel Items not in other categories)
• Travel Photography

We’re looking for a couple qualities specifically in an individual that will give you a better chance of becoming a successful candidate.

1. You gotta have passion! You may be so pumped about one (or more) of the above categories that you’re already writing up gear reviews on your own, and emailing it to your friends.
2. Knowledge: It’s not a trivia exam but you gotta know what you’re talking about.
3. Commitment: If you’re selected, you will give it a solid boy-scout effort for the period of time we agree on.
4. Computer skills: You’re computer savvy enough that we won’t have to play tech support all day long.
5. Self Starter & Entrepreneurial Drive: We’ll show you tools, give you direction and help you along the way, but you’re able and willing to do this! You’re not afraid to try things, come up with ideas, and be able to take critique to improve yourself.
6. Networking Skills: Are you well known (not infamous!) online within circles or forums that are relevant? Can you go out there and make friends with people and let them know about your writing?

Don’t be fooled into thinking this is the sweetest job opportunity of the century. It’s going to be hard work, and offer some additional income for you but it’s not going to be a cake walk. If things pan out well, it could turn into a full-time job and an opportunity for sharing in the success of the site. And as a big bonus you can tell all your friends you’re a travel writer and can work from anywhere in the world as long as you have an Internet connection.
