Description
Hi, I’m Alex and I run a blog about DIY solar power called Footprint Hero.
I’m looking for a freelance writer to write articles about how to do simple electrical calculations and conversions – such as how to calculate watts from volts and amps and how to convert milliamp hours to watt hours.
Examples of the types of articles you’ll be writing:
- https://footprinthero.com/amp-hours-to-watt-hours-calculator
- https://footprinthero.com/watts-to-watt-hours-calculator
I may also assign topics on the basics of electricity (e.g. “what is a watt hour?” or “what is a battery C-rating?”) and ask you to update existing electricity articles on the blog by fleshing them out and adding more information or explanation where needed.
