Are sellers allowed to become editors.

Say I sell air purifiers online. I'm IAQ certified. I've been selling air purifiers for 5 years. I went to college to study air pollution issues. Could I become an editor for air purification products or would the conflict of interest prevent it?

As I've said many times before, we'll take on anyone who can demonstrate:-

• good communication skills, both writing and reading, in the language of the category.
• the ability to select and describe websites appropriate to the category.
• attention to detail.
• integrity.

The chosen category has to be suitable for a beginner of course - not too large and not too spammy. If you're thinking of applying, you might want to study FAQ and General Advice first.
