What is Brighthub.com?

Brighthub.com is an online writing site that specializes in technology related topics. The site is divided into sections or "hubs" and each section has its own editors who work within the hub on the content submitted. Writes can apply to be a member of the hub and receive payment for each article submitted as well as a share of advertising revenue for the article.

Brighthub Explained

Brighthub is a very nice professional site for technology oriented writers. The site is very nicely laid out and the editors are very friendly. To apply, a writer needs to submit samples of their work to a section and a short description about who they are and how their writing in that section would benefit the site. There is no guarantee a writer will get accepted but one they are they are assigned to the hub they applied for and need to sign an agreement with the site to write for them. To begin writing, the applicant will submit ideas to the managing editor of the hub and wait for approval of the titles. It is important for the writer to finish the work requested and submit it. If the writer does not submit the work, it can mean removal from the channel. The editors are looking for professional well developed articles for their website. The writer is also granted access to the writers-only forums. Some channels require the write to include images and links along with the written text. Every article must go through the editor of the channel before it is live on the site and at the end of the month the writer is compensated for the articles and also receives a share in advertising revenue for each accepted article. Each article must also have a SEO or search engine optimization section written so the article can be better picked up by search engines. A writer should have some general knowledge in this area before applying, although the editor can help in this area if needed.

Review

I enjoy writing for this site. The pay is good for the amount of work you need to do. The editors are very friendly and will help out a beginner get started. The article design template is easy to use with a word-processor like interface and regular text can be copied from your computer. Inserting images and links is very easy. The articles need to be broken up into sections for easier reading and a header must be applied to the work being submitted. The messaging system works very well and editors will get back to your questions promptly and approve your article ideas and submitted work so you can continue working. I found the forums a friendly place to ask questions and keep informed about the site as well as many informative how-to articles about the site.

Conclusion

If you are a writer who knows about technology then I would suggest giving Brighthub a try. You will find a very friendly, relaxed atmosphere that rewards writer for their hard work on the site.
