Although we’re a commercial operation, we’re currently a very small one. This means we can’t pay the big bucks for you hot-shot writers out there. But we do have a wonderful website and high authority domain with a rich history of video games and technology coverage that is the perfect platform for bloggers to get their start in the industry.

We write about all things video games and computer technology, so if it’s your bag, you’re in luck!

We cover major news stories, reviews, guides, opinion pieces, technology posts, retro stories and the odd just-for-laughs post.

Typically, short news articles need to contain at least 300 words, with longer features needing a minimum of 800 words. Your work will need to be properly researched so all the facts are correct and will need to be grammatically sound.

But how should you go about writing for us? Well, we’ve borrowed a very helpful guide from masterclass.com to highlight the key areas. For the full guide follow that link to their website, but here’s their basic summary of a good blog post.

4 Elements of a Good Blog Post

1. A clear subject: Step one of creating your own blog is having a clear subject and point of view. In order to attract an audience and grow your base through social shares, you need to communicate well and have a clearly defined subject matter that you are knowledgeable and passionate about.
2. A great headline: A great blog post needs a great headline. Strong, punchy headlines will attract a reader’s attention and also generate hits if they’re well optimized for search engines. When crafting your headlines, subheadings and bullet points, take search engine optimization (SEO) into account and do some keyword research.
3. A hook: Most good blog posts hook readers with a problem or issue that’s first advanced in a headline. Once into the body of a blog post, writers should set up the premise of the post succinctly with a hook that promises a reader more.
4. A solution: Once you’ve established a clear subject, it’s time to offer your distinct take on the subject matter or solution to the problem you’ve raised. Readers return to blogs time and time again because they feel a connection to the blogger.
