Article formats:

• Feature: These are well-researched stories about a particular subject
• Listicle: These are curated lists providing concise insights on things to do or places to go to

Freelance Contributors (Paid)

Freelance contributors are paid writing opportunities. To qualify for a freelance writing opportunity, you must have had at least some work published and any article you contribute to ExpatGo must be exclusive to the site. If you don’t meet this criteria, consider our Guest Contributor opportunity below. Here are some thoughts to help get you started.

Guest Contributors (Non-paid)

Guest contributions are non-paid writing opportunities, but you’ll get a byline so it’s a great way to get exposure to a large number of engaged readers. This is useful for writers who want to re-publish existing articles they wrote elsewhere. Also, if you haven’t had any work published yet, this is a good starting point.
