Shopping Writer wanted | $150+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: BUZZFEED

BuzzFeed is looking for shopping-and products-focused freelance writers to contribute to BuzzFeed Shopping. BuzzFeed's shopping section is an expanding editorial endeavor that includes both service-oriented and entertaining content for a shopping-minded audience (see our “Shopping” page for examples).

The ideal freelancer is a conversational writer with experience writing consumer- and shopping-related content; someone who is just as comfortable writing about a product they personally adore as they are digging into reviews to find out which viral skincare products actually work or unearthing quirky kitchen gadgets people haven’t seen before. If you're the type of person who's constantly discovering new coupon codes or interesting stores and sending links to your friends until they beg you to stop, we'd love to hear from you! This is a remote freelance opportunity.

YOU WILL

• Write well-researched, service-forward product roundups in categories such as home, fashion, beauty, kids/parenting, pets, and more.

• Take assignments from BuzzFeed editors at will. Posts will be assigned based on expertise and brand partnerships. Our rate begins at $150/post.

• Optimize any affiliate product links that are included in posts.

• Research products in various categories and price points that are of interest to the BuzzFeed audience.

• Follow our Shopping team’s best practices and meet our editorial standards by choosing and describing products in a thoughtful, informative way that matches the BuzzFeed voice.

YOU HAVE

• Previous experience writing for a magazine or website, or exemplary blogging/writing experience about consumer products. Previous affiliate experience is a big plus.

• Genuine love for the internet and online shopping.

• Firm understanding of the BuzzFeed audience and voice and the ability to describe products in both an entertaining and informative way

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to handle critical feedback and improve from it.

TO APPLY:

Send your writing samples, press clips, and anything else you’d like for us to see in Greenhouse.
