We are a mainstream health Web site, which is to say we are not an alternative medicine or health Web site. We think that mainstream physicians, mainstream medical researchers, the CDC, and folks like that generally know what they're doing, and we don't believe in or promote health conspiracies or offbeat treatments or theories. Having said that, we have no problem with expressing a little personality

The pay is $12 to $15 per post. We pay quickly, by PayPal, and we offer the advantage of dependable, regular, continuing, mostly self-directed weekly work that falls into a fixed pattern. We can pay more for link-bait posts.

How to apply

Respond to bloggergigs@gmail.com briefly stating your qualifications and include a writing sample or a link to a specific writing sample (if you have a blog, choose a single post to link to).

Residents of the U.S. and Canada will be given priority.
