Join TiP!

Are you addicted to your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch? Do you love sharing info, tips or waxing poetic about the cool things people do with their Apple devices? Then join the Today’s iPhone team as a volunteer contributor!

This is a unique opportunity to either break into the biz or satisfy your love of sharing knowledge. In return, successful candidates will get bragging rights, blogger bylines, and the opportunity to play with cool apps or accessories.

We seek writers (as well as vloggers) who are interested in the following areas:

•News
•Tutorials
•App reviews
•Accessory reviews
•Video app or accessory reviews, and/or tutorials
•“Cool hunting” the most interesting/entertaining things in the Apple mobility universe
•Lifestyle columnists

For those interested in professional experience, there are also advanced opportunities to gain experience in SEO, community-building, and social networking, among others. (Contributors who run separate sites may also get cross-promotional opportunities in exchange for their contributions. Contact us to learn more.)

.

REQUIREMENTS:

(1) You have to know the iPhone OS — no, you have to LOVE it.
(2) You must have excellent communication skills, whether as a writer or vid creator, and a knack for whipping up fun, engaging content. (Good spelling and grammar skills are essential for writing candidates.)
(3) You must be reliable and responsible, with a great attitude.
(4) Previous writing/blogging experience is highly desired, but not required.
(5) We aren’t able to supply devices, so having direct access to an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad is highly preferred. (*News writers, however, may not necessarily have to own a current Apple device.)

.

TO APPLY:

•Send an email to Contributors@todaysiphone.com. Include your full name, a few sentences summing up why you’re perfect for this opportunity, and an idea of what your specialty or desired beat is (news/rumors, tutorials, app or accessory reviews, etc). Also let us know how often you’d like to contribute, at least to start with.

•Include two sample blog posts or vids. This could be news or rumors, a review on a hot app or accessory, a how-to article, an op-ed piece or essay — your choice. If it’s a written post, PASTE it into the body of your email. (Attachments will be neither opened nor considered.) Videos may be sent via YouSendIt.com, SendSpace.com, or via pasted links to YouTube, etc.

We aren’t able to respond to every application or inquiry, so we will contact candidates we’re interested in only.
