So the first year anniversary of SIF is coming up. The first post I ever published was my review of Golf Story on 22ndDecember 2017.

Because of the anniversary, I was thinking about what I want for Switch Indie Fix in year two. If you don’t know, I’m a one man team. I play all the games, write all the reviews, podcast notes and articles as well as, record the podcast, edit it and publish it. Though I love doing it, this all takes a lot of time for one person to do. Especially when you take in real life responsibilities too.

For year two I want to improve this by recruiting new staff to help me produce content for Switch Indie Fix. I believe that with a few people helping out we will improve and grow SIF tenfold by delivering more consistent content. Therefore, I need writers, reviewers, video reviewers and a new podcast co-host!

What would be in it for you?

SIF is a growing website and podcast with a strong community. If you’d like to join the team you’d become a major part of the community, with a platform and reader base to get your content out to. Furthermore, being a writer or creator at SIF means that you’ll get early copies of indie games to review, which when provided by a publisher, you’ll also get for free! You’d also become a part of the SIF family and have your own say and input on the direction of the website, whilst of course receiving full creator credit for your work.

So who’s the type of person I’m looking for?

Someone who loves to write and produce content. I need someone who can tell me why a game is fun and if I should buy it. Someone who loves talking about and playing indie games and wants to interact with other indie fans in the SIF community.

As you can probably guess, I don’t make money from SIF, it’s a passion project that I love doing and that is enough for me. This is because through producing the site I have learnt so many new marketable skills and met so many cool and interesting people. So if you’re willing to share in the learning experience and talk about awesome indie games on the Nintendo Switch, then you should apply for one of the positions below!

What positions are available?

Writer

If you like writing about long form journalistic articles or quick top 10 lists about indie games, then you should apply for the writer position. The more creative an article the better, just pitch me your idea!

Reviewer

Do you like giving your opinions on video games and helping people decide if they should spend their hard earned cash on a game or not? Then the reviewer position is for you. If you can play a game and express your impressions and thoughts about the game quickly and in an interesting way (and sometimes to a deadline), then the reviewer position is ideal for you!

Video Reviewer

In year two of SIF I want to focus on the site’s youtube channel and post video reviews of indie games there. So if the reviewer position sounds interesting but you enjoy making visual content, then apply to be a video reviewer. You just need to have a capture card and editing software.

Switch Indie Fix Podcast Co-Host.

As well as writers I’d also like to try and find a podcast co-host. The podcast is growing week after week however, I really would like someone to have a conversation with every episode- instead of me just talking to myself in my kitchen.

The ideal host would be based somewhere in Europe and have some podcasting or youtube experience. I’d like someone in Europe because it’s usually much easier to schedule the podcast when we’re on the same time zone (or near enough the same time zone). And I’d prefer if you had some podcasting or youtube experience because I’d like someone with whom I can have a conversation with and is used to talking into a microphone.

So if you have a microphone and like specifically talking about indie games on the Nintendo Switch, then please go ahead and apply for the co-host position.

How should you apply?

The easiest way for you to apply is to send me an email adam(at)switchindiefix(dot)com. If you’re interested in being a writer or reviewer please send some examples of your work. They don’t have to be video game related, I just want to make sure you can write and get a feel for your style of writing. If you’ve experience making video reviews it’d be awesome if you’d send me a link to those too!

If you’re applying to be a podcast host, maybe write a little bit about yourself; what games you like playing, what other podcasts you listen to, where you’re from and why you’d like to be a host. Plus, if you have any experience, link a video or podcast for me too!

Here’s to year two of Switch Indie Fix! I want to thank all of you that have clicked on the website, read a review, listened to the podcast or just chatted with me on Discord or Twitter! You guys make creating this website so fun!
