Writer wanted (electricity) | 10 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: FOOTPRINT HERO

I’m Alex and I run a blog about DIY solar power called Footprint Hero.

I’m looking for a freelance writer to write articles about how to do simple electrical calculations and conversions – such as how to calculate watts from volts and amps and how to convert milliamp hours to watt hours.

Examples of the types of articles you’ll be writing:

• https://footprinthero.com/amp-hours-to-watt-hours-calculator 
• https://footprinthero.com/watts-to-watt-hours-calculator 

I may also assign topics on the basics of electricity (e.g. “what is a watt hour?” or “what is a battery C-rating?”) and ask you to update existing electricity articles on the blog by fleshing them out and adding more information or explanation where needed.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Write and format articles in WordPress about electrical calculations and conversions and the basics of electricity in an easy to understand manner
• Take good photos of examples or analogies to complement your articles (smartphone photos work just fine) and upload them to WordPress
• Update published articles by adding more information or explanation where needed

PAY

• $0.10 per word
• Paid via direct deposit

WORKLOAD & CONTRACT LENGTH

• 3-4 articles per month (roughly 1 per week) of 1000-2000 words
• 2-3 months expected contract length, with a chance to increase it

REQUIREMENTS

• Fluent in English
• Academic degree and/or 2+ years professional experience in a field related to electricity (e.g. electrical engineer, electrician, solar installer)
• Ability to write clearly and explain the basics of electricity in an easy to understand manner
• Freelance writing experience

• No DIY solar power experience necessary
