Currently, we at MeinMMO want to specifically strengthen our team for Destiny 2. So if your heart beats for Bungie’s action MMO shooter like no other game and writing is also your thing, you can apply now to report on Destiny from home office independently for us.
This is what we are looking for: MeinMMO is growing, and to tackle the related challenges, we want to expand our personnel – this time specifically in the area of Destiny 2.
For this, we are looking for a self-employed employee in the role of a freelance author. Anyone wishing to apply for this position should be passionate about Destiny 2 and bring deep expertise regarding the game. Generally, it should be routine for you to deal with the best weapons, the strongest builds, basic and advanced game mechanics, as well as the Destiny community.
This is important to us:
- you are always aware of what the Destiny bubble on Twitter, Twitch, and Reddit is currently talking about
- you are good at explaining things to others
- you are interested in what moves the Destiny community. You know who the biggest and most important streamers and YouTubers around Destiny are
- you are familiar with Reddit, Twitter, and other platforms to keep yourself informed and hear what people are currently discussing regarding Destiny
- you are willing to reflect on criticism of your work, accept it, and develop further in your writing
- it is an advantage if you have previous experience: a personal blog, a streaming channel, or work for another website could fall under that. But this is not a requirement for the position.
- you enjoy writing and have an interest in journalistic work
- you have no reservations about topics that may seem unusual at first
- you are eager to learn what the future holds for Destiny
We would like to fill the position as quickly and well as possible. Perhaps with you.
Please note: This position is intended for self-employed employees. It is not a permanent position.
This is your job
You will be part of our editorial team and help MeinMMO shape the coverage of the site. We are grateful for suggestions and input on how we can further improve our coverage around Destiny 2. It is important to us that readers come first for you, and you consider which articles are truly interesting and important for our community.
This time, we are not looking for a general author, but an expert for Destiny 2.
Your task area:
- you write articles in the field of Destiny 2 (news, analyses, opinions, community interviews)
- you independently search for exciting topics to turn into articles. Here you will receive support from the editorial team
- you engage with analysis tools such as Google Trends to recognize what the Destiny community is currently really interested in. You do not need to have prior knowledge here. This knowledge can be conveyed to you by the editorial team
- you coordinate with the editorial team on which articles you write
- you accept assignments from the editorial team
- you receive feedback on your articles from the editorial team and implement it accordingly
- you can optionally participate in workshops that we offer in the field of online and gaming journalism
