Description
Hey! We’re the HOTH.
No, it’s not a Star Wars reference but points for noticing. It stands for Hittem’ Over the Head – in other words, to bludgeon with awesomeness.
It can be used as a noun (as in our product, or brand), or as a verb (to HOTH someone or HOTH something). And it’s how our clients refer to one of the world’s top SEM companies.
We’re looking for freelance writers for our HOTH Infographics product who want to gain real-world experience writing exciting content for our clients across all sorts of industries.
Infographics are data-driven visualizations of a story or argument. As a Freelance Writer for the Infographics team, you will create research-focused written content that hooks in readers and communicates a message with a clear, compelling narrative.
One of the biggest benefits of this position is the ability to do this from anywhere, anytime. Another big benefit? We work with all kinds of customer niches! From travel agents and online paint retailers to skincare professionals and snack foods, there’s a wide variety of writing to be done!
This is a great place to work, and you’ll also get the benefit of working with great freelance team members and awesome in-house staff. We boast a stellar retention rate, and people truly love working with us.
Please note that this is a freelance 1099 position, and while it does not qualify for our formal in-office perks and benefits, it comes with incredible flexibility and an awesome culture.
Are you business savvy? Do you live and breathe writing engaging and conversion-focused content? Do you enjoy synthesizing broad topics into easy-to-understand sharp content?

You’ll be writing Infographic Content for 300, 500, 700, and 1000 word pieces dedicated to whatever our customers’ needs are.
The topics will vary widely so we need flexible people! But don't worry--we'll give you the resources you need to be successful.
You are required to complete 3 Infographic orders per week when Quota is turned on. We will only turn on quota if there is a high volume of orders in the queue that are causing production delays. When Quota is turned off, you can complete as few or as many Infographic orders per week as you like!
