  • We teach aspiring web designers/developers how to create websites with Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop, Joomla, Wordpress, etc. We want our blog to be an extension of our business and cross promote our products – but we do NOT want to offer written tutorials (we sell video tutorials and we do not want anything to take away from that).

  • Product and Industry News (includes news, rumors, events, etc. Topics might be Flash vs. Apple, Flash’s future, HTML 5, CS5 news, the new Joomla, etc)

  • We’re open on the 5th topic – so… Surprise us…?
  • We’ve hired quite a few people and none of them worked out – so we’re doing this a bit differently.
  • Send us an article on one of the above topics and if we use it we’ll pay you $25 (article must be at least 350 words), plus if you become a regular writer you’ll get paid more.

THE ARTICLES MUST:

  • You must be able to send us an invoice for each article we accept and you must be willing (and able) to accept PayPal payments.
  • Once we accept and pay you for an article, we become the exclusive publisher of that article. This means you cannot publish the article anywhere else online, however, you can use an excerpt for your portfolio/personal website with a link to the full article on our site. This also means that we can publish your article on any of our sites or within our products.
