Cracked.com Looking For Writers

Cracked.com is looking for writers.

The site hosts a hidden discussion board called “Cracked Comedy Workshop” where contributors and editors hash out new ideas. Follow this link to join the workshop and get a chance to write for the site.

Unlike some online outlets, Cracked.com pays its writers. It is a good way for aspiring writers to build a following and for established writers to find a new audience.

Here’s more about the pay scale: “our full-length feature articles start at $100 each, and after your fourth published article you get bumped up to the veteran pay of $200. If your article is among the ten most popular that month, you get a $50 bonus. The Quick Fixes we mentioned earlier, since they’re only a fraction of the size of that other stuff, pay at $50 a shot. You turn in the finished article, you get paid by PayPal — there’s no waiting for months to get a check. Also, if you have a blog or a Twitter account or a book to promote, we’ll let you advertise it at the end of your article and send thousands of readers there.”

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone with a good sense of humor (or is just a bit weird).

That would be great if I was a better writer.

Wonder how it compares to Mad magazine? My brother used to get these quite a bit and we sometimes made our own versions. Thanks for the recommendation!
