Join the WebReef Media Team!
WebReef Media is always looking for authentic, knowledgeable fan voices to write for our network sites. If you’re a solid writer who is looking to make some extra money talking about your hobbies and interests, we’d like to meet you!
We pay writers per article based on word count (above and below 300 words) and you can expect to get paid weekly. We also give bonuses for articles that are leads used for video and podcast content, and will reimburse for expenses for review materials on a case-by-case basis.
Basic Qualifications
- Ability to work remotely with your own computer and internet access
- Ability to write well, write objectively and write often
- Ability to be a self-starter and find topics to write about
- Ability to meet deadlines is a must
- Ability to listen to editorial direction is a must
- Experience using the WordPress CMS
- Ability to do basic photo editing for articles
- Prior experience writing for other publications preferred
- Knowledge of AP Style preferred
Additional Qualifications
- Knowledge of topics you’re writing about (i.e. don’t write about games if you don’t actually play games)
- Ability to work well with others for the good of the site, even those with differing opinions
- Ability to avoid unnecessary online drama that would negatively impact our sites
- Ability to take constructive criticism in stride (i.e. we might ask for some changes, edit your content or nix a story at our discretion)
- Ability to handle occasional rude comments from site visitors (it happens.)
- We do welcome different voices, but do not want people to filter every article through their own political lens. If you’re an activist, this might not be a good fit for you.

ClownfishTV.com Freelance Writer
Do you love pop culture, and want to write for an apolitical ‘nerd’ site that covers movies, games, anime, comics and more from a fan and consumer point of view? Do you want to party like it’s 1999? If so, ClownfishTV.com is always on the lookout for new writers!
ClownfishTV.com is an independently-owned, fan-powered pop culture news source that isn’t beholden to studios or media conglomerates. We cover news objectively — albeit sometimes snarkily — from a consumer and fan perspective. And we don’t sugarcoat it.
ClownfishTV.com writers are expected to have knowledge of their particular areas of expertise.
For example, if you write about games, we expect you to actually play games. If you write about comics, we expect you to read comics. You get the idea.
You don’t have to know everything about every topic, of course. But a good working knowledge of the stuff you’re being paid to write about is essential.
(It’s a pretty simple requirement, yet it’s seemingly difficult for so many sites to vet their writers. Go figure.)
