What you get
- A permanent byline. Every article you write is credited to you, on the page and in the article's structured data.
- A public contributor profile. Your own page on janushermes.com with your bio, your photo if you want one, links to your LinkedIn or website, and a list of everything you have written for us.
- A serious shelf. Your work is published alongside a library of 430+ guides covering purchase law, tax, residency and destination research for international buyers.
What we look for
- Property, broadly. Buying, selling, owning, running costs, tax, residency, a market you know first-hand. Most of our readers are buying in a country they do not live in, so writing aimed at them travels furthest here, but we are not precious about the brief. Pitch us something we have not covered.
- Claims you can source. Anything you write about a tax rate, a legal process, a visa or a residency rule needs a named primary source we can open: the tax authority, the land registry, the immigration service, the statute. If you cannot source it, cut it. The rest of the page is yours.
- Writing by the person named on it. Our readers are making one of the largest financial decisions of their lives, and the byline is our promise to them that a real person stands behind the page. We do not publish machine-generated drafts.
- Writers, not link builders. No promotional placements, no paid links. Your profile links to your LinkedIn or website; article text stays editorial.
How it works
- Apply below with a short bio. A writing sample and a photo both help, but neither is required.
- Your writer panel opens immediately at janushermes.com/writer: sign in with your email and a one-time code, no password, and track your application there. We also reply by email.
- Once approved, you upload drafts as Word documents from the same panel and follow their status draft by draft.
- We edit for house style and fact-check before publishing. Your article goes live with your byline and a link to your profile.
