Description

The Content Factory is Hiring! Web Content Writing Position Available Immediately
We’re a growing content, PR and social media marketing firm and we’re hoping to hire talented writers to meet the needs of our growing list of clients. Although we’re a virtual agency with no physical offices and this position requires that you work from home (or the coffee shop, or a beach, or anywhere else that has wifi), it’s a full-time employment opportunity (not 1099). If hired, you’ll join a team of 12 people spread out over 7 states – all working together to create some really killer case studies for some pretty cool companies.

What You’ll Do

Our writers have a lot of flexibility and can often choose from different projects and decide how much work they can handle. To give you an idea of what you’re getting into, here are some of the most common responsibilities we give writers:

•Pitching article ideas for a wide variety of clients, ranging from tech startups to national brands.

•Writing and posting blogs, articles, reports, press releases, product descriptions and other online content.

•All things SEO, at least as it pertains to copy.

•Incorporating feedback and making edits when needed.

•Attending conference calls with clients and other members of the team (we have regular department meetings).

Depending on your skill/commitment/interests, your responsibilities can grow to include:

•Managing social media accounts for large companies.

•Interacting with journalists and editors to get placement on reputable websites.

•Marketing your content online and compiling and sharing analytical data on your efforts with clients.

•Hosting webinars and training sessions.

Compensation and Perks

You’ll start out as a paid contractor as you go through a series of writing tests by completing real-life client work. If we like you and the feeling is mutual, you’ll become a part-time or full-time employee, depending on your preference, within a month or so. After you’ve been an employee for 90 days, the company pays for your cell phone service and Internet (see also: cable, if you end up in the PR department).

Payment varies based on the difficulty and length of projects, but you can expect to earn anywhere from 10 to 15 cents per word, and bonuses are awarded for exceptional work. Payment is made to contractors via check or PayPal on the 1st and 15th of the month, and employees get direct deposit on the 1st and 15th.

As a copywriter you’ll get to enjoy these perks:

•Gaining experience writing for a wide variety of clients, including national brands that you can pad your resume with.

•Expanding your professional network, collecting bylines and building your portfolio.

•Spending quality time with your cat/couch/both as you work from home.

•Getting to see your work all over the web.

•Around 2-4 times per year, when the planets align and a leprechaun catches an Uber ride from a pink unicorn, something we’re responsible for legitimately goes “viral” – that’s always cool to be a part of.

•Setting your own schedule.

•We all share a research assistant (official title: Girl Friday), so you don’t need to spend hours doing your own background work.

•Working with a fun, creative and intelligent group of people who will inspire you more than they’ll frustrate you.

•Laughing in the face of anyone who told you you’d never make a living writing.

•Employees get paid vacation and holidays, which include Halloween and your birthday.
