Writer or VA to summarize/curate news articles for blog

Melody · 16th Apr 2012, 06:50 AM

We run several news blogs, featuring a combination of user generated content by industry professionals and curated content based on industry related daily news stories.

The curated content is found using Content Buddy, which allows you to find and write a brief summary, add a couple of quotes and links to related articles in just a few minutes. The problem is that we have a LOT of blogs ;-) so I am l looking for some solid, long term writers!

To start, assignment would be about one hr per day, which is about 5 news posts - these are really just a few sentences to summarize the news story, and links to the original story and related articles, and it goes very quickly thanks to the tools we use.

English skills are VERY important - these must read well - they cannot read as spun articles. These are news sites that are read by industry professionals in each field, and we are looking to add more news features daily by adding a few writers to the staff.

Job hours can be somewhat tailored to fit the applicant's needs and current work schedule as long as we can have 20 to 30 news summaries added per week per site. If you have VA or other skills (SEO etc) all the better!

Please PM me with your salary requirements, available hours (include time zone) and skills, and a couple of samples of your work. References from others at the WF are a big plus!

Please note: we are looking for people that would like to be a long term, permanent team members to be part of a fast growing project. This will not be a 'one shot' assignment for those hired!

Hi Melody,
I sent you a PM before anyone had actually replied to this thread but I haven't received a reply. A definite response would be very much appreciated.
