Freelance writing, write wedding articles for a hobby blog, payment: $17.50 per post

I need someone to write wedding related blog posts 3 times per week for a hobby blog I'm about to launch. Pay is $17.50 per post, and the posts need to be around 500 words each.



This is the perfect gig for anyone looking to make some extra money while doing some fun, easy work in their pajamas from home.



The blog will be a general-purpose wedding blog where the audience is brides to be in their mid-twenties. Subjects include bachelorette parties, beauty, bizarre weddings, bridesmaids, saving money, celebrity weddings, destination weddings, engagement and anything else a bride-to-be would enjoy reading about.



Forget SEO or inserting the right keywords -- all I care about is that you write interesting, compelling blog posts that brides-to-be can't resist reading. I'd like some blog posts to be straight forward and useful like "8 super easy yet little known ways to save money on your honeymoon" or irreverent/offbeat like "9 ways your crazy mother in law is trying to sabotage your wedding."



The ideal writer will:



• Be able to not only write, but think of great topics to write about.

• Be skilled writing irresistible headlines.

• Genuinely enjoy writing about wedding-related content.

• Have a great sense of fashion and style, with a genuine interest in weddings.

• Be comfortable writing your own headlines or writing to ones given to you.

• Have excellent spelling and grammar, and can proof your own work.

• Be able to pick great pictures to go along with your blog posts.

• Be reliable, and able to produce 3 blog posts per week, every week.

• Will have experience blogging with Wordpress.



To apply to the job, please reply to the email below with:



- A short explanation of why you're the perfect person for the job, and why doing this type of freelance writing fits into your current life/job situation.

- 3 suggested headlines you'd write about (just headlines - don't actually write blog posts). Headlines should "wow" the reader and be irresistible.



Short list candidates will be given the opportunity to write full blog posts based on their suggested headlines for pay, and then one will be chosen.



Pay will be via PayPal only, and these will be ghost written articles without a byline.



Compensation: $17.50 per 500 word blog post



Telecommuting is ok.
