Description
Are you passionate about helping overcome our climate crisis and making our world more sustainable? Do you enjoy researching and writing and want to have a positive impact with your work?
Then you might just be at the right place :)
I operate a blog as a passion project where I share information with the world on how to live more impactful. And I’d love to expand our writing team to cover topics like the carbon footprint and the environmental impact of different types of food (to start with)!
For this, I'm looking for writers who can contribute at least two long-form articles (2,000 - 4,000 words each) per week on a regular basis to increase that impact!
This is not SEO-type content. The only aim is to provide content that is as helpful as possible to the reader. For this, I will provide you with detailed content briefs to follow.
This job is right for you if:
- You deeply care about making a positive impact, especially when it comes to climate action (aka the carbon footprint) and sustainability (aka the environmental impact) of food - and to provide actionable insights what this means for our food consumption
- You enjoy to thoroughly research and base your arguments on fact (with citations) and not on opinion
- You write in a structured way (title & subtitle structure, bulleted and numbered lists, bolded highlights) and can present your information in a logical flow
- You are happy to write at least 2 long-form articles (2,000 - 4,000 words each) every week
Here is what to expect:
- We will provide you with a full content brief (title, post structure, comments) via a Google Doc
- You will directly write within this provided Google Doc
- We will give you detailed and constructive feedback for your articles to help you to grow as a writer
- You will start with about 1-2 articles per week, but can eventually write as many as would work for you (there are always plenty in the backlog to choose from!)
- After 10 articles, you’ll get the full writers credits for all of your articles
Here is what to expect financially:
- The pay currently is at 3 cents per word for the initial test article and also thereafter
- I will pay you via PayPal or Revolut (my preferred method as it’s free for both of us and neither would have to pay any transaction fees)
- But expect the pay to increase and/or new opportunities (e.g., expanding into different topics based on your interests, and/or moving to an editor or content manager position) for you to arise along with your personal growth with us
This job is not right for you:
- If you don't view feedback as a learning opportunity
- If you don't write structured or research-based
- If you are not passionate about the carbon footprint and environmental impact of foods (our starting category)
- If you are only looking for a short-term gig
What are the next steps?
- Please fill out this application form: https://forms.gle/ZqayEMnw8EZYDsuM9
Include the word ninja into one of your answers (so that we know you've read the whole instruction - otherwise we’ll not go ahead with your application) - We will select every promising writer for paid test articles (a shorter version of the “real” article)
- After the successful completion of your test article, you’ll then be invited to write the full article; and after this successful completion you’ll be invited to write a second full article
- Then, we'll select the writers to work with on a long-term basis
- Once onboarded, we’ll also give you access to our project management system (ClickUp), where you then can choose your next articles to write (there are always plenty prepared)
How does that sound to you?
I'm looking forward to your application and, hopefully, to a long-term engagement :)
