Pros

While IQ has a lot of pros, one of the biggest is the ability to set your own schedule and work from home. As a writer, you can write at 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning. Writers have direct access to management, which is always helpful and responsive. You can ask questions or get feedback quickly and easily by sending a message through Skype or email. Another huge benefit, which I have seen other companies fail at, is the company pays good and always on time, sometimes even early.

Cons

One con I found was self-discipline. When working with an online company like Inquisitr that lets you set your own schedule, you have to work. Writers get paid per article, so making money with IQ requires consistently posting content to the site.

Pros

Inquisitr is NOT the same company it was 2-3 years ago. Current management has worked hard to turn the site around. I can't say enough good things about the staff, timely weekly pay, and the many tools given to help writers. The site continually strives to do better and the staff makes changes as needed to roll with the times. Inquisitr staff is always on hand for help and it's a real team environment.

Cons

This is not really a con, but there is a quota. It is an easy quota to hit for someone who makes their living as a writer, but could be hard for someone who has a full-time job outside of that.

Pros

Had the ability to write as much as I wanted and was really able to make quite a bit of money per week for this only being a side gig at the time. (Until the company completely flopped)

Cons

All they want you to write about is sexy/bikini/Instagram model clickbait nonsense. No integrity to the writing whatsoever. The managing editor at the time told me I was being let go with no notice whatsoever in the midst of the pandemic. She was then let go herself a short time later. But here's the kicker...the owner of the company then reached out to ME for a favor. The favor: to use a professional connection of mine to help the same person who fired me get another job.
