If you have experience in Fortnite, Minecraft, Destiny, Warzone 2, real-time strategy games and others, we want to hear from you! Though PC Invasion is known for its PC gaming coverage, we are expanding into SEO-focused guides across multiple platforms, as well as providing more top-10 and “best of” lists for both games and PC hardware.

    Please reach out if you believe you can help cover the aforementioned games extensively, and BE SURE TO INCLUDE WHAT GAMES OR GENRE BEATS YOU'D LIKE TO WRITE ABOUT IN YOUR APPLICATION OR COVER LETTER.

    WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN AN IDEAL CANDIDATE:

    • A strong grasp of the English language
    • Open with communication

    • 1+ years of freelancer or writing experience

    Candidates with experience in WordPress, SEO, and knowledge of Google Trends is a plus, but those with a strong penchant to learn and adapt quickly are most preferable. Hours are flexible, but freelancers are encouraged to utilize our staff's editorial resources and good communication habits are required. You're expected to work with PC Invasion editors and incorporate feedback. This position will help you grow with experience.

    We pay per published article at a minimum of 300 words each. Our tiered payment structure pays on type, with PAYMENT RANGING FROM $11 TO $60 PER ARTICLE.

    • A SHORT COVER LETTER (150 WORDS AT MINIMUM) is required to be considered, addressed to Editor-in-Chief Cameron Woolsey
    • WORK SAMPLES
