Fully async/remote, 30 hours per week.

Our team is 100% remote and distributed across the world. We have team members in Australia, the US, Canada, Thailand, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Turkey, Nigeria, South Africa, the UK, and Romania. It doesn't matter where you live or what time zone you're in.

Your main responsibility will be to write content that ranks. Documentation, tutorials, video descriptions, blog posts, and more. This is a largely self-directed position, where you will do your own research, choose topics, write the content, edit it, and publish it. Ideal candidates will have experience with WordPress, SEO, and technical writing.

Flexibility

We are a small team but we try to give everyone as much flexibility as possible. Flexibility means that you can work in the mornings, or the evenings, or both, or in the middle of the night, or whatever. It means you can take two weeks off to go on a trip. It means you can wake up and decide you don't feel like working and take the day off without telling anyone.

Our official policy is: please update the availability calendar if you are not available to work for more than 2 days in a row, or if you will not be able to meet your agreed upon hours per week.

Responsibilities

  • Write, edit, and publish content at a fast pace.
  • Identify high-leverage topics that will improve search ranking for specific pages.
  • Figure out which keywords to target and incorporate them into your writing.
  • Track search rankings and optimize existing content.
  • Create graphic assets for your content.
  • Learn how our products work and how our customers use them.

Requirements

The only thing we really care about is the ability to write high-quality content. The more of these boxes you can tick the better, in descending order of importance:

  • Available to work 30 hours per week.
  • Flawless written English. Able to explain complicated, technical topics in simple terms.
  • Expert-level knowledge of SEO and how to write content that ranks. You can take a keyword, topic, or product use case, create a plan to dominate relevant SERPs, and then execute it with little oversight.
  • Expert-level knowledge of analytics tools with strong opinions about Ahrefs, Semrush, GA4, GTM, Fathom, etc. You can use them to answer questions about specific keywords and competitors, and more importantly know what questions cannot be answered given the data.
  • Expert-level knowledge of WordPress and its ecosystem. Bonus points for having created websites with WordPress.
  • Experience ranking content with low volume, high value keywords. Deep understanding of all of the idiosyncrasies of Google's SERPs including featured snippets, people also ask, video sections, etc.

How To Apply

Send an email to [email protected]. Use ‘Hiring - Content Strategist & Writer’ as the subject of your email. We would love to be able to reply to everyone, but we simply receive too many applications for that to be possible.

In the body content of the email:

  1. Write a paragraph or two to introduce yourself, describe your experience with WordPress, and let us know where you found our hiring post.
  2. Indicate your desired hourly rate.
  3. Describe and include links to your work that you are most proud of.
  4. Pick a tour page on our site and read it. This is a use case for our product, of which there are many. Then go to our documentation and spend a few minutes browsing. Our content strategy should be pretty obvious. In your application, write a short bullet-pointed list describing how you would get more traffic to our site for the use case you chose (not necessarily more traffic to that specific tour page). This is by far the most important part of the application and shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes.

If you'd like to stand out from the crowd, write your application by hand. The vast majority of applicants just put this application into ChatGPT and it's very obvious.
