WEB CONTENT EDITOR WANTED
We're looking for several smart, detail-oriented editors to edit web
content covering a wide variety of topics.
Requirements. Applicants must have:
1. the ability to comfortably work on a variety of subjects (from
science to home to health to manufacturing to finance) and assess the
overall content and flow of an article
2. exceptional proofreading skills
3. the ability to professionally mentor and guide writers
4. the ability to consistently meet deadlines
5. the ability to apply our writing style and editing guidelines
6. an excellent understanding of grammar
7. at least three years of experience as a writer or editor
8. an undergraduate degree (preferably in English or Journalism)
The Work in a Nutshell. A small group of writers will be assigned to you.
You'll work through our customized, online, content management system to
edit the short articles (typically 400 to 600 words) that your writers
submit, insert basic HTML coding, and coach writers on how to improve
their writing.
You can choose your hours and work from anywhere you have an internet
connection.
Initiative and Discipline. While flexibility is a great benefit of this
position, it also requires that you have the self-discipline to do a good
job while maintaining timely turnaround times. You must be able to take
initiative and work independently.
Time Commitment. We'll need you to commit at least 10 hours of work per
week, although that number can vary based on how much content your assigned
group of writers produce. There is, however, enough work for significantly
more hours per week, if you are interested. You will have to edit daily or,
at the very least, every other day.
This position is available to US citizens only.
We require that our applicants go through a testing process. You will be
paid the normal rates for your test articles assuming they represent a
good faith effort. The test has both writing and editing components; you'll
need to write nine articles and edit ten articles. We require the writing
component so you know exactly what it is like for your writers.
If you're interested, send an email with the two pieces of information
listed below. Please include all information inline. (Attachments will not
be opened.)
1. a cover letter that explains your relevant experience and your
interest in this position, and
2. your resume

out to be about $15 an hour. Paid by PayPal twice a month.
