Job responsibilities:
A RoamX copywriting internship will provide you with knowledge and practical experience to become a Content Marketer.
This means you’ll be gaining practical experience on how to develop various forms of content (content pieces, Blogs, Social Media Posts, Product Reviews, etc.) and learning the fundamentals of Content Marketing such as SEO.
You can expect to be writing between 12 to 15 content pieces per week. This would translate to roughly 3,000 words per day five days per week, and can vary between authoring long-form content pieces to shorter blog posts or social media copy.
This may sound like a lot but it isn’t. The average 1,000-word content piece should not take more than 2 hours to complete end-to-end for an average writer with limited experience.
Most content piece writing tasks will involve:
- Understanding the content brief which outlines what the client is looking to have written up. This content brief will have the topic to be written about, any specific points to cover in the piece, any research links to use, length of the content piece, etc.
- Carrying out the necessary research on the public domain to write up the content piece (in other words Google).
- Incorporating SEO best practices if needed such as including specific keywords in the content piece or images.
- Running the content piece through a grammar checker and giving it a proof-read to ensure it’s error-free and ready for submission to the client
This entire process for an average 1500 word length should take 1 - 2 hours depending on the difficulty of the brief.
Required skills:
- You must be at least 18 years old
- Proficient in oral and written English
- Previous personal or professional content marketing experience is a plus such as an existing portfolio of written content
- You must not have any serious medical conditions that would make travel dangerous for you
- You must have valid travel authorization to visit the countries listed in the Copywriting RoamX program or have the ability to secure travel authorization to these places.
Transportation, Housing, Compensation:
Your flights to and from where you're based as well as inter-city flights between Thailand and Indonesia are covered by RoamX
Your accommodation costs during the fellowship program are also covered by RoamX
You'll also be provided with a stipend/per diem of USD$500/mo while participating in the internship for daily living expenses.
