Writers wanted (project management, productivity) | 15+ cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: SCORO

We are a Saas company looking to scale our content efforts. We practice semantic SEO, so if you’re not intimately familiar with the style, this won’t be for you.

It denotes writing that is highly factual, structured, follows strict logical patterns and requires expert level insights on the topics supplied.

Our topics are mostly in the work-management, project management and productivity sphere, so some knowledge of or experience in that area would be great. Our style guide is strict and very detailed and we require writers to stick to it religiously. You can expect to do rewrites and to receive detailed feedback.

What we offer: If your writing meets our requirements and we like working with you (you hit your deadlines and adhere to the style) we can offer ongoing work and as much of it as you are willing or able to take on. This could easily become a full-time job for the right person/s. We’ll pay a negotiable rate per word starting from $0.15 for every word approved but are happy to discuss retainers or flat rates per article in due course.

What you need to do: We’ll want to see examples of your semantic SEO writing skills and will require you to write one (partial) article as a test (no more than 150 words). If the test meets the requirements, we’ll pay you for it and start a short but rigorous (paid) training period. If your test sucks, we’ll both walk away and chalk it up to experience. If you use AI writing tools or plagiarize content we’ll end the conversation immediately.

A basic overview of style requirements: There is more to it, but this will give you an idea:

• Never use everyday or colloquial language in the articles.
• Don’t use unnecessary words. If a word can be cut without losing the meaning of a sentence, cut it out..
• Always use short sentences instead of long sentences.Give “one piece of information” per sentence. In other words, answer one question “clearly” with every sentence. Avoid “complex, long, and exhausting” sentences.
  Decrease the count of contextless words in the document.
  If a word doesn’t change the meaning of the sentence, delete it.
  

How to apply: Send a PM with an example of your work and your per word rates and we’ll take it from there.
