What do I get out of writing for TV Equals?
Money. Not a lot of money, but money nevertheless. We pride ourselves on being one of the few TV blogs that compensates its writers for their work.
However, since we are not part of a big corporation we are not able to compensate writers at the same level they would. So if you are looking for a big pay day, this might not be it.
However, if you are a budding writer, this is a great opportunity to get your name out there and build a following of readers. Also, if you already have a blog, this could be a great way to get exposure for it.
