Writers/Creatives Contributors Needed!
I am finally ready to hire some content contributors! I have planned, saved, plotted, updated, and so much more for the last 8 months! This process has been long, with a lot of going back to the “drawing board” to ensure that I have all my i’s dotted and t’s crossed. I wanted to save up and make sure that those who provide content to the site are paid for their time.
“Contributors Exposure vs. Contributors Paid”
No… exposure doesn’t pay your bills. Exposure doesn’t make me feel like I am helping you build your portfolio. Paying you for exposure would make me feel bad. That is why I waited until I had a little nest egg to pay my contributors for their time and energy. You will get exposure and payment, which, to me, is a win-win for both of us.
Details
Right now, building a list of those who would like to be considered, you do not need experience as a blogger. Even if you have not been a contributor before, that is OK; I want people who have a passion for being creative and want to help others find their own creative passion. This blog needs people who want to excite and encourage creativity in a fun environment. Contributors who bring unique ideas will enrich this community.
So, you have decided to try your hand as a content creator!
Awesome! Here is the information that I need from you!”

Final Process
When will you stop taking applications?
I will keep the application process open until Sunday, September 10, at 5 PM EST.
Once the application process has closed, I will review all applications and information. I will contact everyone, regardless of whether you made this callout. Right now, I am looking for two people who can commit to one article a month, 2-3 who can do bi-monthly, and 3-5 who can commit to pop-up content. I am looking for all aspects of fiber arts, cooking/baking, DIY, tutorials, video content, pattern/book reviews, and interviews with designers (fabric, patterns, notions, etc.). My goal is to be a resource for anyone interested in fiber arts!
Pay
Payments will be on a sliding scale based on project type —video vs. photos, review vs. DIY/tutorial, interview, etc. Also, I am going to start carrying a limited selection of fabrics and patterns soon. I am starting the ordering process for that now. If I need a pattern review, I will send the fabric and pattern, and you will be compensated in fabric/pattern and with a monetary payment.
We will discuss content payments once the contributors have been chosen and we have finalized the commitment details. Creative inputs from our contributors will shape the direction we take.
Like I said. I don’t want to take advantage of anyone, and in this industry, we need creative inspiration from beginner creatives to advance.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
