Lifed.com is a general life hack blog that's set to launch next month. We'll be covering topics such as health, finance, technology and productivity tips. Articles might include titles such as:
- Top 5 Web Browsers
- 25 Ways to Improve Your Credit Score
- 5 Foods That Will Help You Lose Weight
- 8 Alternatives to the iPad
- How to Ask for a Raise at Work
Our target demographic will be broad, including both men and women. However, the majority of our visitors are likely to be career-driven and digital influencers, aged 21-45.
LifeHack.org is an example of an established site in this niche.
We're hoping to have a bit more \"edge\" and \"personality\" than the competition. We want to be both entertaining and authoritative.
Requirements for potential writers:
- Excellent English writing skills (grammar, spelling, sentence structure, readability, formatting, etc.). Be capable of proofreading your own articles.
- Will need to come up with article ideas (and good ones) on their own.
- Be capable of extensively researching a subject, and portraying authority.
- Engaging writing style (this might include witty, humorous, personal, ability to connect with readers).
- Be able to write 1-2 articles per week.
- Be able to upload articles into WordPress. If you're not familiar with WordPress, we can teach you how to use it. Generally, 5-10 minutes is all it takes to learn everything you need to know.
- Being able to create appealing titles is a plus, although not necessary.
