NOTE - I won't hire anyone who is not. So do not apply if you are from places like India, Africa, Pakistan, or the Philippines -- sorry, I need people who can write for a native English audience with a magazine style tone. If you are applying and not a native English speaker, I won't even consider you and even more, it means you never read the job specification anyways*********** == WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN== * write short, viral style blurbs that are highly catchy * is able to create posts from the backend of wordpress blogs and edit via the wordpress admin panel. * Find beautiful photos that best match the list entry topic (via google images, flickr, pinterest, google search) * Write a blurb ABOUT that photo and do it in such a way it's highly entertaining * Do research about the topic. All the topics will be a photo tour of that destination / topic, as such, you will need to be able to write convincingly about that topic in your photo blurbs * write COMPLETELY unique content -- ALL article will be checked via copyscape. If we find you have copy and pasted sections, you will be fired and not paid. So run all your work through copyscape before submitting because we check! == WRITING STYLE FOR LISTS == * A list style article (i.e. 'The 10 Biggest Swimming Pools in the World' or '20 Stunning Photos of the Largest Cruise Ship' '34 Stunning Hanging Garden Baskets' or '23 Deadly Hiking Trails in the World'). Lists will range from 1000 words to 4000 words with most about 1500 to 2000. *A catchy, DETAILED introduction to the topic / list -- about 200-300 words, broken up into 3 or 4 paragraphs. *A gorgeous photo you find on the web about that topic / place / location / area for each entry on the list. It will be 729x533 in size. The site in question will be a home and garden site, so finding stunning photos that exactly describe the list entry / topic will key and a significant part of your job. * Below each photo, you will write one paragraph describing the picture in an entertaining way - about 50 to 60 words each entry * Each photo + blurb will be a list entry * The blurbs will be a conversation with the reader. So for some of the lists, each blurb will take the reader through the list, compelling them to continue to read. You will need to a) find the right (gorgeous) photo and b) write a blurb that describes that photo in a entertaining way that keeps in mind the overall list title. * You will be responsible for posting the article, inserting the images, and formatting it correctly on the wordpress backend.
