At LearnPick, we are looking to augment the abilities of both student and tutor! We would like content creators who can spark ideas and thoughts through riveting content. You get to pool resources with our team and come up with new and exciting ways that can change the whole ecosystem of knowledge transference.
Ideas we write about:
The key to getting great content that captivates your audience is to keep it friendly, positive and informative throughout. We believe that if you put in the effort to make sure the article relates to the reader, they will definitely respond to what you’ve written. An effective article can motivate people to exceed and overcome their self-imposed limits.
These areas are what we are looking for writers like you to contribute:
How far have you gone for the sake of education
Was it a debt or a change of location away from your near and dear ones? What was it? Discuss about all the sacrifices you made for the sake of education.
**If you state factual incidents from reliable newspapers/magazines or government websites to back up your opinions, don’t forget to cite the sources.
What I wish I had been taught in school to face the world better
As you prepare to leave school and head into college, you may sometimes realize yourself lacking knowledge in a lot of important areas, especially when the real world is concerned. Discuss.
**If you state factual incidents from reliable newspapers/magazines or government websites to back up your opinions, don’t forget to cite the sources.
There will be 3 winners, and a sum of $1000 will be sent to their financial aid offices of their respective colleges or universities.
General guidelines to writing for us:
Do’s
- The length of each article can be anywhere from 700 – 1200 words.
- Grammatically correct articles. We can’t spend much time on editing articles, so the onus is on you to validate your article before you send it across.
- Titles need to capture the essence of the article as well as the audience’s attention. Try writing on something that hasn’t been written about.
- Hook them right at the beginning of the article. Make the introduction engaging.
- Make your points clear to understand. Ask someone else to read it out and check if they get what you’re trying to say.
- If you are writing on a popular topic, ask yourself how you can add more to it.
- Citing your sources helps your credibility immensely.
Don’ts
- Articles that tend to lean towards being SEO-centric. Please understand that content farms and other entities that create content just to promote a brand are not for us
- Using profanity, sarcasm or being overly snarky does not help anyone, least of all the reader.
- Hyperlink in huge clusters. Try spacing out your hyperlinks evenly across the content. Also, take care not to hyperlink an entire paragraph.
