Write Headlines and Short Blurbs for a News(y) Website (ongoing)

Închis Postat la acum 7 ani S-au achitat serviciile după ce au fost prestate
Închis

We are looking for 1-3 people to work 2-4 hours a day, 3 to 7 days a week.

The work will need to be done sometime between 2 PM EST/GMT-5 (New York City time) and 7 AM EST/GMT-5.

The work will begin on or around TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2016 and continue indefinitely thereafter.

Payment will be on a weekly basis.

THE JOB:

You will log into our site, where you will find between 40 and 100 posts in a queue in draft form.

Each post will contain the headline and first three paragraphs of an article from somewhere around the web (or possibly a video, or even a photo), along with a link to the original article (so you can read or skim it).

Your job will be to write a new headline and a short description of the article, and then post it to the site.

Both the headline and the blurb should be EITHER witty OR straightforward, depending on the article content. Our content is generally NOT silly/stupid.

The blurb should be between 1 and 50 words long.

The headlines should NOT be clickbait-y; we’re NOT trying to “trick” people into clicking on our content. But we do want the writing to be witty in a sophisticated way.

We have attached a Word document full of good headlines called “Popular Headlines” so you can get a sense of the kind of thing we’re looking for.

We have also included a few specific examples of the kind of thing we’re looking for in the attached Word document “Sample Posts.”

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO APPLY FOR ONE OF THESE POSITIONS, write a headline and a descriptive blurb (1-50 words) for THREE of the articles listed in the attached Word document “Use for Sample Submissions” and submit them via a Freelancer message (NOT as an attached file).

Also, in your application, please quote us an amount for your services on a PER POST basis. (Keep in mind that each post should not take you very long.) Since Freelancer doesn't offer this feature, just bid $10/hour for the work. WE WILL IGNORE THAT NUMBER AND ONLY USE YOUR "PER POST" NUMBER.

Applications that do not contain these two elements (3 samples and a per post bid) will be ignored.

Good luck!

Didn’t realize we could post URLs here, sorry.


Here are a few specific examples of the kind of posts we want:
