Livestrong

[dhinders]

Does anyone know how to go about applying to write Livestrong articles if you're already a Demand Studios writer? I like the Demand system overall, but I'm not wild about the pay for the eHow articles. If Livestrong pays better, I'm all for that idea.

You can send am email to the editorial team. I think Jonah was the one who approved me. They will ask what your qualifications are...you have to have a certification in medicine or fitness or a strong background in writing these type articles and if you are applying for LiveStrong Health you have to have a degree in a related field.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the tip! I will try that!

I wrote to editorialteam@demandstudios.com and explained that I was interested in writing for the regular LiveStrong articles - these don't require medical or fitness certification/degrees. I have degrees in education (M.Ed. and now working on an EdD degree) and a background in social services and speech therapy. Johan approved me for primarily the "lifestyle" categories, since those fit the best with my background. You may want to visit the DS LS FAQ forum and the LS site to look at the different categories for a better idea of where your "niche" might be.
