We want writers!

We're looking for skilled designers to write amazing educational content in the following areas:

  • Print Design Pros: Can you create awesome flyers and brochures? We need you on the team! We're especially interested in InDesign, Photoshop and Affinity Publisher designers to join our team.
  • Typography & Font Gurus: From the basics to amazing designs, we're looking for people to create regular typography and font content. From the basics to more complex topics.
  • Digital Art fans who use Photoshop & Procreate: We're looking for those who love to paint small and complex illustrations. Major benefit if you love to use Photoshop in creative ways.

What skills do you need to be a writer?

We welcome beginners and pros to our team, as we provide some training/guides as you continue to write for us. There are however some skills which are essential or desirable:

Essential Skills

  • You must also be comfortable with the English language. We can proof your content, but we can't rewrite everything for you. 
  • Have previously written tutorial or article content. If you're new to writing articles and tutorials, this is fine. We'd always recommend you try publishing something on free platforms (blogs, social media) to show us your style of writing. 
  • As we publish on a daily basis, we need to rely on our Instructors to hit deadlines which are self set. 

Desirable Skills

  • We're eager to get more video creators on our team. As we expand and create more content, we want to add more video content to new and existing content to our Envato Tuts+ YouTube channel (currently over 250k subscribers!).
  • SEO knowledge! We do offer some basic training but it's a bonus if you already are comfortable with SEO.
  • We'd love you to get in touch if you're fluent in either German, Spanish, French, Russian or Portuguese. Knowing more than one language is not essential, but it would be of interest. Especially interested in German video creators! 

If you want to know more, please check out this insightful comment on our previous call for new instructors.

What We Offer

There are many benefits to becoming an Envato Tuts+ instructor:

  • Getting paid for a subject you're passionate about is always rewarding. Depending on the content type and subject, you could be billing thousands per month! We pay $300 USD for a standard length tutorial (around 25-30 steps/images). This is paid via Paypal or Payoneer on a monthly basis.
  • We have in-depth guides to help you put together your posts, from formatting to tone to screenshot presentation. So if you're new to tutorial writing, this is a great place to start!
  • Several of our Instructors have written for us for years and contribute on a monthly basis. 
  • We have strong domain authority, making us a valuable source to have your portfolio and more back linked from. 
  • We are passionate about equality and representation in our content and this is reflected in our instructor team. We actively challenge stereotypes in design and seek to keep on pushing boundaries in our community.
  • If you create assets for Envato Market or Envato Elements, then use this opportunity to help promote your items!

Pitch a Tutorial!

While I can tell you which areas we're specifically looking into, it all comes down to which areas are your strongest and what you feel most confident in teaching. If you are interested in becoming an Envato Tuts+ instructor, why don't you pitch us an idea? We're looking forward to hearing from you.
