Description
Internet Privacy Initiative BV is looking for an experienced copywriter to add to our growing editorial team for our English website, VPNOverview.com. This is a temporary to long-term freelance position that offers flexibility for the right candidate
Who We Are
Internet Privacy Initiative BV is a publishing company based in the Netherlands. We have two websites, VPNOverview.com and VPNGids.nl that mainly focus on informing the general public about VPNs, online security, online freedom, and worldwide legislation with regards to these topics. We do that by reviewing VPNs, antivirus software, password managers, private browsers, geopolitics, streaming, downloading, and more.
Available in 10 languages (currently), VPNOverview.com has content that is purely informative, aimed at making difficult technical subjects understandable to even the least tech-savvy of users and more commercial content where we advise a certain solution (VPN, antivirus, password manager, etc.) to our visitors. We pride ourselves on the extensive research we do and we do not advise solutions that don't work.
What are we looking for?
Currently, we are looking for one or two experienced English content writers. It’s a remote freelance writing job, but if there is a good fit, the opportunity can become long-term.
We’re looking for a writer that meets the following criteria:
- Experienced tech writer with native/near-native written
- English proficiency level.
- Available between 24 and 40 hours per week.
- Understanding of torrenting, streaming and online gaming preferred.
- An investigative approach and impeccable writing skills.
- Familiar with working in WordPress. No coding experience required.
- Some basic knowledge of SEO (e.g., able to do keyword research, work with tools like SurferSEO, AHrefs etc.).
- Not afraid of applying (or learning about) some really basic HTML.
- A hard worker with a drive to be the best with the ability to work autonomously.
- Someone who can handle deadlines and does not fear a challenging workload.
Main responsibilities:
- Writing new articles on various topics related to VPN, web safety, online privacy, and internet freedom. Topics will be provided.
- Updating and improving existing articles that have already been published on the website.
- Occasionally testing certain software, such as VPNs, antivirus, or a password manager, and writing a review about it.
- [Optional] Checking and editing articles written by colleagues before they are published.
We will give you topic suggestions. Based on these topics, you are able to do the necessary research, examine the articles that currently rank well in the SERPs, make a plan and structure, and then write an article that exceeds all existing articles in the SERPs in terms of quality, accessibility, and depth.
What you can expect from us?
I don’t believe in paying per word, because word count oftentimes does not reflect the complexity and effort that goes into an article. I’m looking for someone who likes to work hard and wants to excel and build an awesome site with us.
Remuneration indication: minimum of 1,800 USD per month based on a full-time engagement, but depending on your profile (e.g. experience, skillset, productivity, and English proficiency level) it can eventually become much higher (3,000+ USD). I'm open to discussing the options.
Support & Flexibility: We have a base team in The Netherlands, but we have an expanding global team working in multiple time zones. Because of this, we understand that everyone cannot be available at the same time. We work hard to leverage the most effective communication tools available to allow our team the support they need, even while being halfway around the world.
To Apply:

- A short cover letter on why you would like to work with us and on why you are the right person for the job
