Description
Do you a passion for online marketing and the ability to write engaging content? If so, this job might be perfect for you.
My name is Gael, and I’m the Head of Content at AuthorityHacker, a leading online marketing blog. Since 2014, we’ve helped millions of people build and grow profitable online businesses.
We create epic blog posts. This is not your standard “write x number of words of unique content about this keyword” writing gig. We go to extreme lengths to research, plan and develop our ideas before we ever start writing.
We debate frequently. We run our own experiments. We track down industry experts for quotes. We create brand new techniques. We refresh old ideas for contemporary contexts, and we demonstrate them in real-world scenarios. It would be a catastrophic understatement to say we go the extra mile. On the Authority Hacker blog, we go the extra light year.
So if you are interested in experimenting and writing about topics such as:
- Do internal links REALLY help your SEO (or is it B.S)
- Tactics to negotiate higher payout from affiliate partners
