I love searching CraigsList for part time and freelance writing jobs just out of sheer curiosity. Some of the remote job postings I see are really interesting. Check out these 2 telecommuting opportunities for part time bloggers and article writers:
Need freelance bloggers for part time work. (Work Remotely)
Here’s what the job posting said . . .
I am looking for part time bloggers to write about a variety of different topics. Each blogger will be assigned a specific topic. I am open to hiring a single blogger for more then one topic if you are looking for the work.
Here are the specifics. I am looking for people who have experience blogging, are good self-starters, and can work independently.
You will write 25 blogs per month one for each business day of the week. It doesn’t matter if you write 10 blogs one day and spread the rest out for the remainder of the month, as long as 25 blogs are written. All blogs can be post dated. Blogs should be at least 3 paragraphs of short,sweet to the point content.
You should have experience using WordPress, or some other CMS based blogging client. You will be working in wordpress.
You will contact the client directly to get blog ideas and subject matter. If the client is not very responsive, you will refer to their website and re purpose content from it. If you are not comfortable doing this, then do not apply.
You should be familiar with linking, SEO writing techniques, and leveraging social media to promote a blog.
This is a paid gig – you are paid at the end of the month when all blogs are written. We will discuss compensation.
You will work remotely.
Sound like a good telecommuting opportunity for you? You’ll need to send them 2 or 3 links to blogs that you have written and tell them a little bit about yourself. See the original post for more details:
