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

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: WALLSTREETZEN

Long Term Finance Writer for Fast Growing Fintech (10-15 cents per word)

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).

WHY?

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'S THE CATCH?

Like with investing, there's no free lunch.

We offer unlimited work and competitive pay, with flexibility over your schedule.

But we care deeply about quality. We want every piece we write to be the best resource in Google.

So we seek out writers who obsess over their craft.

If you're just looking to pad word count and crank out remixed Google research papers - this isn't the right gig for you.

WHAT WILL YOU BE WRITING?

• Informational content teaching users about stock investing (we'll help you with this).
• 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.
