I am already working as a Freelancer and have worked for TOI Delhi before moving on my own. Now, why don't you write that we are looking for writers [Your Passion, Our Growth] to contribute their ideas freely on our platform. Nothing wrong in being transparent. Good Luck!

I agree that we should have mentioned the rate etc - but there was a reason to not do that (wanted to build the engagement model based on response). @vbb - please send me a mail (we are accepting part time contributors as well) @All - I will reply to mails by Monday night.

Frankly, I don't see anything wrong with her question for the following reasons: 1. Ashish specifically mentioned that this is a paid position - he should have been more clear about the engagement model. Most writers either get paid per post or work on a retainership basis. 2. For all you may know, Gayatri may be a kick-ass tech blogger and she wants to know if it's really worth her time to write on pluggd.in vs (say) techcrunch.

This is a good reply Ashish. >>A. If somebody is interested in contributing for the sake of money, this is surely not the right place. I feel that a passion to write, be read and heard is a higher calling than the money itself. There are not many great websites that allow that. This is surely a great opportunity for folks who feel that they have the insight and the stroke to write that is read by a lot of technology and technical experts and enthusiasts. Let the Drums Roll !! regards Vidhu This is lame .
