About Learn Planting

Learn Planting is a new website and authoritative resource to learn about planting / gardening. We cover best practices of products for planting / gardening as well teach people on how to grow their plants to be as healthy and beautiful as possible (for both indoor plants or outdoor backyards). 

Our Goal

Our goal is to provide practical, actionable, and informative advice to make it easy for people to make sound decisions around purchasing effective gardening products and learn how to best nourish their greenery (all plants - veggies, fruits, succulents, herbs you name it!)

There's a lot of bad information filled with biased opinions and rehashed advice.  Our aim is to provide valuable, well-researched planting resources.

What We're Looking For

We're looking to hire a writer who can regularly contribute a minimum of 3-4 1500+ word posts per week.

  • Understands how to do thorough research on subject matter
  • Can handle critical feedback and adjust accordingly
  • Is tech savvy (i.e., understands Google docs, wordpress, etc)

Compensation

Our budget is $145 per week for (4) 1500+ word articles. However, this rate is negotiable depending on writer experience ($130-$200 and we will establish an agreed upon rate upon working together). This writer can make anywhere between $500-$800 per month, based on however number of articles he / she can get through.
