Are you a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) with a passion for helping others make informed financial decisions?
Do you have a knack for breaking down complex financial concepts into simple, easy-to-understand advice?
Are you interested in leveraging your expertise to ensure the accuracy and clarity of personal finance content while also providing valuable insights to a broad audience?
If so, we want you on our team as an expert reviewer!
At LendEDU, we believe that every piece of financial content we produce should be not only accurate but also engaging and accessible to readers at all levels of financial literacy. Our goal is to empower our audience with reliable information that helps them navigate their financial journeys with confidence.
What it’s like to be an expert reviewer for LendEDU
We’ve designed a smooth and straightforward editorial process, allowing you to contribute your expertise effectively. Here’s how it works:
- At the start of each month, our editors will send you a proposed workload, including the working titles of the articles and their due dates. This allows you to make sure the assignments fit into your schedule.
- You’ll receive an edited draft in a Google Doc a couple of days before an article’s due date. Your role is to review the content, ensuring all information is accurate and clearly explained. If you think a part of the article could be improved or clarified, you can suggest changes or add comments, such as “This could be clearer if explained this way…” or “It might be helpful to mention the difference between X loans and Y loans here.”
- In addition to reviewing for accuracy, you may be asked to answer 1-3 interview questions within the article. Your answers will provide expert insights that will be featured as quotes with your name and/or picture.
- The review process is designed to be efficient, with most articles taking 20-30 minutes or less to complete. Once you’ve finished your review, you’ll notify the editor, who will incorporate your feedback and publish the article with your name as the expert reviewer in the byline.
Your expertise is invaluable in ensuring that our content is accurate, trustworthy, and genuinely helpful to our readers.
