Valnet Concept

It seems like a good job before applying, but it is definitely not worth it once you are in. The management has Top Gear like requirements for the quality of work and "always strives to be better" but never actually compensates the writers for the constant increase of requirements before submitting an article. 

The payment, in the times we live in, is pretty much useless unless you write multiple articles each day, which is impossible as each article is 1500 words and not 900-1000 as first advertised. (even  if you do write multiple articles, the payment is still not enough if you live in Europe or the US),  

Plus, this is office chair Journalism. Meaning that you will never drive a car or attend an event. You are just re-writing information that is already available online, which is only useful for filling up the internet with more useless information. 

I must say that the editors are friendly and helpful. The main problem here is management. 

Not worth your time. 

I worked as a freelance editor at MovieWeb for a little over a year. The website, while it has solid writers, struggles with poor leadership. The editor-in-chief struggles with taking feedback and has no editorial/journalistic sense. Editors must edit upward to 25 stories a day with very little help (because leadership couldn't be bothered to hire more editors) and aren't compensated adequately for their time. 

A positive is that MovieWeb had a strong brand before the Valnet takeover, so your stories will be widely read. However, a severe lack of leadership at the top makes working for MovieWeb extremely taxing and difficult. It is probably best to avoid working here, as there are better outlets to work for.

Valnet is a great place to work overall. Their management comprises of kind and considerate people who do everything they can to make the work easier for others. 

I work as a Travel Writer at TheTravel and I can boldly say that the pay was good enough for the amount of work writers were required to put in. 

What makes the work environment particularly amazing was that everyone had an opportunity to grow and climb up the formal ladder. Those who deserved the promotion were given without hesitation. I watched as several people got promoted and I too. It's a place of equity and peace. It's a dream work environment. 

At Valnet, I had to write about 8 pieces a day to get a decent pay cheque - and this is including weekends.

I did learn a lot about SEO while at Valnet, as well as website analytics. 

The management was hands off for the most part - in a bad way. As a new writer myself, I was training new writers in the CMS we used as well as the style. Unfortunately, the latter was changing regularly.

I enjoyed my freedom, but I do think that they should pay people more. It's a content mill and the quality of the work on the website will only go downhill if they keep valuing quantity instead.

While the work is very flexible and you can set your own schedule, you'd have to be working almost constantly 24 hours a day to make a living, thus defeating the point. Even if you worked longer than a normal 9-5 it's nowhere near enough to make a living off and the pay is well below minimum wage. Not only that, they expect very long articles to be churned out at an extremely quick pace, which doesn't prioritize quality at all. Despite that, some of the editors are very friendly and empathetic which is one positive. However, that very likely depends on who you get assigned. 

For the amount of work you're doing, you'll be compensated below minimum wage. The other 1-star reviews about this company speak the truth. 
The management is awful, demeaning, and confusing, and the turnover is extremely high. They'll tell you your work is awful in those exact words and think that's a good way to motivate you.
Ever notice how many job postings there are from Valnet on every job board you see?  That speaks volumes about the company.

I signed a contract which states they will pay x amount for 850 words. It's been just over 5 months since I started and the word count stands at 1500 with the same pay. When asked about this, they are not ready to increase the pay. And you have to research, write, upload, find images and worst of all, do a ton of tagging which takes so much time and even a whole day.



First don't work for them because it is a mess. One they don't know how to communicate and you have to fit their niche writing requirements the first try there are no drafts. A rude supervisor who has a questionable position. Really doesn't help the company hiring people that don't know anything about writing. But this is why the company is failing and their writers have an errors in their articles.

This company is HIGHLY unprofessional. No one seems to be qualified. No one seems to know what good writing is all about. The pay is POOR. You'll also be terminated without one warning and based on a reason that's not even in your Writer Agreement.

But that said, there's no pressure or stress while working at Valnet.

I had a great experience freelancing with this company. They communicated clearly making the process smooth and enjoyable. I felt like my ideas were valued, and the team was genuinely supportive.
