Total Frat Move & Total Sorority Move Are Seeking Writers For The New School Year
I had a couple of jobs in college, and they all pretty much sucked. If there’s one job I wish I could have had while in school, it would have been Gossip Girl cast member, because, well, that would have gotten me laid a whole lot. However, if there’s another job I would have liked to have had in college, it would have been a Total Frat Move writer. Cranking out lowbrow jokes, drinking stories, etc. to earn my drinking money would have been glorious, and when you’re living in a college town, it doesn’t exactly take a lot of work to earn a weekend’s worth of drinking money.
That’s my pitch to get you to apply to be a news writer/columnist for Total Frat Move or Total Sorority Move. It’s a new school year, and we are seeking new talent for our staff. If you think you have what it takes to entertain America’s privileged degenerates, not to mention the balls and/or desire to have your work read by millions of readers (seriously), then shoot us an email explaining why you’d make a great TFM or TSM contributor, as well as a sample of your work. Here are the instructions:
1) Send an email explaining why you would make a great TFM/TSM writer to rob@grandex.co. Feel free to include a résumé as well, though it isn’t necessary.
2) With said email, attach at least one original* writing sample that you believe best demonstrates your ability to be a successful TFM/TSM contributor.
*i.e. don’t send me a history paper you got an A on. I will delete it and wish you a mediocre life. Sending previously published work, however, is totally fine.
3) Eagerly await my response.
If you are added to the TFM/TSM staff, the pay scale for remote writers is as follows:
News story (generally 300 – 500 words): $15/per submission – no limit
Column (generally 600 – 1000 words): $25/per submission – no limit
To put that in perspective, if you write three news stories and a column every week, that’s probably your weekend booze money.
There is a short probationary period before we add you on as a fully fledged staff member, but after that, moderate amounts of money are yours for the taking!
Send us your stuff today.
Pretty lowball pay for millions of readers and ad revenue
13 years ago at 2:14 pmIt’s about $25/hour – better than most writing gigs and certainly higher than any of our competitors. And while the site is read by over a million people every week, a bad news story could get as low as 5,000 views. If you write something that gets read by 1 million people, you can expect a pretty hefty bonus.
13 years ago at 3:36 pmRight now I’m doing it for free. $25 > $0
13 years ago at 3:56 pmYeah they have millions of readers and i’m Miles Davis.
13 years ago at 4:04 pmFor business purposes we won’t divulge our specific traffic numbers, but for a little perspective there are over 3000 different people on the site at this very second.
13 years ago at 4:11 pmDo we have to be on staff to get paid?
13 years ago at 4:16 pmNo, all of us in the contributing groups get paid based on published submissions. It’s actually a really great gig.

13 years ago at 1:44 pmSo should I be professional in my E-mail or just be a douche?
13 years ago at 2:16 pmDefinitely do it with sperrys
13 years ago at 3:57 pmBacon spending $70 on booze every weekend. TFTC.
13 years ago at 3:32 pmIn college it was more like $50 a weekend, because Columbia is so cheap. These days I’d be a much richer man if all I averaged was $70 a weekend.
13 years ago at 5:54 pmBacon how are you spending $50 a weekend? I just started law school here and I’m honestly paying about $30 a weekend for pregame beers + bar alcohol. Specials here are insane I love it.
13 years ago at 6:35 pmThat was a high estimate, like if you paid multiple covers at multiple bars. Thursday you can blackout for $10. Friday and Saturdays will probably run you like, $20 a night.
13 years ago at 1:48 amAbout how long will it take for you to read the piece and make up your mind Bacon? We don’t have all damn week. Football is on this weekend.
13 years ago at 11:07 pmAww what the hell might as well give it a shot…..make that shots cause ill need to be drunk to make these geezers laugh.
13 years ago at 12:14 amBacon, how long will it take to hear back? Are you going to read all the submissions then narrow it down, or pick ones you like as go along?
13 years ago at 9:04 amTSM is still a thing?
