Job Posting Guidelines

Quality Standards

Every job listing on WritingZap is reviewed before publication. We maintain a quality bar to ensure our writers find legitimate, fair-paying opportunities.

Requirements

• Pay range required: Every listing must include a compensation range. Pay transparency is both a brand stance and increasingly a legal requirement.
• Verified employer: Employer accounts must be verified with a valid email and company website
• Clear role description: Listings must clearly describe the work, deliverables, and expectations
• Legitimate engagement: The role must be a genuine writing opportunity

Pay Floor

We enforce a minimum compensation floor. Listings offering below our floor rate will be rejected. Current floors:

• Per-word: $0.05 minimum
• Per-hour: $15 minimum
• Per-project and annual: reviewed on a case-by-case basis

Rejected Listing Types

The following types of listings are automatically rejected:

• Pay below our floor rates
• "Exposure" or unpaid gigs
• Academic ghostwriting
• Content-mill bulk posting requests
• Link-building or guest-post solicitations
• MLM, crypto-pump, or similar schemes
• Listings requiring unpaid test assignments exceeding 300 words
• Any listing whose application process requests money from writers

Pricing
