Best High-Paying Freelance Gigs of the Week: July 8, 2019
Did you enjoy that long Independance Day weekend? I sure did. I bet you’re raring to get to work, though. Here’s this week’s new, awesome work-from-home freelance writing jobs. These gigs pay at least $50 a piece, offer a full-time salary, or pay more than $25 an hour. Each one is labeled as a remote job, virtual job or work-from-home job, which means you can do the work from anywhere.
Note: I don’t know anything about these positions other than what I post. I weed out the seedy looking ones, but it is your job to be diligent when applying. Also, please don’t message me with questions about the postings. If a link doesn’t work the posting has probably been taken down because the gig has been filled. If you have a gig for freelance writers that pays at least $50 a peice or over $25 an hour, please contact me and I will include your gig in next week’s post.

More Information:
We are now accepting applications for talented Freelance Writers to write video essay scripts on the following subjects: The Matrix, Quentin Tarantino, The Big Bang Theory, Stranger Things, Buffy, Ozark, and How I Met Your Mother. We're looking for surprising, unexpected takes that can be backed up with solid evidence. You should be able to come up with a strong, original argument that takes a stance, and then to translate that argument into an accessible, entertaining style. It's key to be able to write for a speaker, to make thoughts flow naturally in a conversational voice, while also understanding how to pack a lot of substance in and create a tight structure for a video essay. You will work collaboratively with our senior editorial team to turn scripts around quickly. **PLEASE READ APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND EMAIL APPLICATIONS DIRECTLY TO US.**
To apply:
To be considered, please submit one or more pitches for a video essay script on one of the subjects listed above, as well as a resume, brief cover letter and a writing sample that shows your ability to write analytically on film and TV (this can be a sample elaborating on one of your pitches, or an existing sample of past writing). We encourage you to watch the videos on our YouTube channel to get a sense of our voice before you submit your sample and pitch. **Please email applications to: insights@the-take.com rather than submitting them through MediaBistro. WE WILL ONLY CONSIDER APPLICANTS WHO EMAIL US DIRECTLY WITH THE REQUIRED MATERIALS.**
