Added 2020-08-28 19:21:17 +0000 UTC

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE BLOGSMITH

If you don't have experience working with and/or writing about WordPress topics, please do not apply at this time.

As a Freelance SEO Ghostwriter for WordPress topics, you will help produce SEO blog content for The Blogsmith’s clients as a ghostwriter. You’ll work with an editor on our team to fine-tune content for clients across multiple rounds of editing if necessary. You may also work with a project manager and virtual assistants to accomplish relevant tasks.

Assignments are typically 1000+ words in length.

You can work whenever you want as long as you’re able to respond to team communications within 24 hours on Monday - Friday and can consistently meet deadlines without micromanaging.

WHY THE FREELANCE SEO GHOSTWRITER ROLE MATTERS FOR THE BLOGSMITH

The Blogsmith helps B2B technology companies connect with their target audience via search.

You’ll be helping us create relevant, high-quality content that matches the technical use of SEO keywords with the fulfillment of expectations based on the assumptions behind search intent. Understanding search intent involves asking why someone used a certain keyword phrase and predicting what they’d expect to find when clicking through on a relevant search result.

The writer helps to find the balance between incorporating SEO requirements while ultimately focusing on the needs of the human reader over search spiders. After all, it’s the human reader who will ultimately help us achieve conversion-related business goals.

HERE’S THE BOTTOM LINE:

We don’t just want to create content for content’s sake — we explore topics with a unique stance so that we’re providing a unique benefit (compared to similar content) for anyone who reads the work we produce.

TECHNICAL SKILL REQUIREMENTS

Understanding of WordPress and SEO preferred. This will help you understand our clients and writing process.

Demonstrated experience with the online content writing process and formatting. It will be hard to be successful in this role if you’ve never created an article for the web, even if you have some writing experience.

Experience writing for a publication that’s not your own with the ability to follow a writing style guide, content brief, and an SEO writing checklist.

SOFT SKILL + AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENTS

Good communication skills: you’ll be working with fellow team members to accomplish tasks related to producing great content. We sometimes have tight internal and external deadlines, so timely responsiveness during the workweek is necessary to work on this team.

Problem-solving skills: When there’s an issue, Blogsmith teammates use their resources and each other to get it solved before it becomes a bigger issue.

Organization/planning skills: Successful writers on our team don’t wait until the day a project is due to get their questions answered or address any issues with the brief. It’s encouraged to construct an outline of your approach to the topic, with any questions in need of follow up, at least a day before it’s due.

Write “Hi Maddy” (in addition to any questions or comments you have) at the end of the application form so that I know you’re paying attention to detail.

A passion for writing: In order to create great content, you have to take an interest in the process. Please do not apply unless you enjoy the process of writing, because it will show.

Ability to turn assignments in by 2pm MST the day they’re due, with any edits in need of follow up due by 2pm MST on the next business day. For best results, proactively block out time in your calendar to account for separate days of outlining, writing, and potentially — editing. The article creation process involves many interconnected, dependent steps that have to happen on deadline for the sake of our clients.

Capacity for 3-5, 1000-word articles each week. Let me know if you can handle more than that.

BENEFITS AND COMPENSATION

$0.10/word to start.

Work 100% remote.

Work whenever you want while meeting weekday deadlines for planned assignments.

Payout via Gusto so you don’t have to pay any processing fees or TransferWise to minimize foreign transaction fees.

Payout for test assignment via Paypal — happy to pay a 50% deposit upfront.
