COMPANY/PUBLICATION: VEED

VEED.IO is an online video editor designed to make video editing a piece of cake no matter the skill level. Want to make a highly engaging video like Gary Vee? Easy. Our tool is ultra-intuitive to use.

Want to know what's really exciting though? Since January 2020 we've grown 1,900% from $150K ARR to $3M ARR (and almost $4M now at the time of writing this!)

This means, we've had to grow our team really fast. We've had Alec who runs our YouTube channel come in. He absolutely rocks it by taking our channel from 0 to 17.5K subscribers and driving 8% of our sites traffic through our videos.

And now, it's our blogs turn to shine. This is an amazing opportunity for a freelancer (like you) who wants to:

Make their mark in a quickly growing start up that people love to share about online (just check out our Instagram highlights @veedstudio)

Write highly valuable content meaning not only can you write content that ranks at the top of SERPS but people also love to read and share it.

OUR GOALS ARE TO:

Drive more quality traffic to our site
Encourage social shares

To achieve our goals we need to create content sooooo good the reader feels they need nothing more. Our content is the end destination where the reader thinks "woah, this is exactly what I needed! I should bookmark this site."

WHAT'S THE BUDGET?

Our budget is at approximately $.15 cents per word (or $500) per article with at least 2,000 words. We are looking for the best writers and are open to negotiations for people with impressive portfolios that demonstrate great writing and the results they've helped achieve through it.
