We are looking for freelance writers who can support us from home.
With MeinMMO, we reach over three million people every month who share our enthusiasm for gaming. Here you will find articles and videos with stories, guides, opinions, recommendations, or interviews.
Who are we looking for?

- a great passion for Pokémon GO and everything related to the franchise
- a willingness to dive deep into topics and research
- you use social platforms like Twitter (X), Reddit, and TikTok
- you enjoy writing
- a willingness to work on weekends to write current news
This is a plus, but not a requirement: You already have experience in the media field. This may include: a personal blog, work for another website, your own channel on Twitch, TikTok, or YouTube.
What is this about?
You have been playing Pokémon GO for a long time? You eagerly follow events like the GO Fest and may have even been there in person? You are active on Reddit, Discord, and Twitter (X) to absorb discussions and information about the game? Do you want to work in a modern online editorial office?

How do we work?
The working method: You independently research exciting stories in gaming communities and on the official channels of the publishers. Together with the editorial team, you plan the topics you will report on. You work with analysis tools like Google Trends to find the most urgent topics for our readers. You write articles that fit MeinMMO and our community.
The hours: You can work for MeinMMO for a few hours at least three days a week. Up to 20 hours per week are possible.
