Writers wanted (investing) | 10-15 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: WALLSTREETZEN

WallStreetZen is fast growing fintech startup that builds high quality stock analysis tools for the part-time investor, and we're scaling up our content marketing.

This is a great opportunity for the right writer(s). As a former freelance writer myself, I've been in your shoes. This is the role I dreamed of.

We have a constant pipeline of work with competitive comp. No more unpaid time hunting for gigs!

There's also an opportunity to progress to senior writer or editor (if that's what you want), and dive deep into content marketing and stock investing.

WHAT WILL YOU BE WRITING?

• Informational content teaching users about stock investing
• Writing objective, in-depth comparisons of different investing related products (including comparing our product with competitors - see example here)
• Writing in-depth reviews of stock investing products
• Showing users how to use features on our platform (like our stock screener)

You can review our blog and knowledge base for more examples.

ABOUT YOU:

• You're a natural-born writer! You probably spent a lot of time perfecting your craft, you have a strong grasp of grammar, and you enjoy the creative aspect of writing.
• You're organized and independent, but you love working in a collaborative and positive team environment
• Able to respond intelligently to editing and feedback. We always provide constructive criticism, so you can expect a lot of editing back and forth at first.
• We’ve found that the most successful writers have an eagerness to continually improve and get better at their craft
• You want to grow in the role and give us the honor to grow your career with us
• You have some personal experience with investing

MORE DETAILS

• We pay competitive rates based on experience and performance. Please state your rate in your cover letter.
• We will pay additional incentive-based bonuses based on quality (and quantity if you can write more)
• We offer a path toward advancement to senior writer and editing roles (if desired)

Our team is 100% remote, and we're lucky to be supported by team members around the globe. Our users also come from around the world, but most are in the U.S and at the moment we focus on the U.S. stock market.

HOW TO APPLY

Just fill in this application form, making sure to follow the instructions below:

• Instead of a traditional cover letter (Dear Sir/Madam, I'm excited to apply for this job...), just tell us in a few sentences why you're a great fit for the role. Write like you speak.
• Include your expected word rate
• Include where you found the job posting

Note: We're screening for attention to detail, so applications that don't follow these 3 guidelines will be automatically rejected.
