Wanted: Entry-level writers for one year

San Francisco, CA
| We're looking for 20 journalists or journalism
students to write hyperlocal content. We'll pay $150 per story, for
stories that typically take 8-10 hours to do well. Accuracy and
attention to detail are key; with hyperlocal stories, people who live in
those communities will quickly spot any errors, which would hurt our
brand.
We'd like one-year commitments for this work, no benefits. These jobs can be done 100% remotely, on your own schedule. We just want the work to be consistently done well and delivered on time. We need a commitment of at least two stories a week, which will take 16-20 hours a week total. (We have done many of these stories and know that cutting corners immediately shows, so please note that time commitment is firm.) We have enough work for writers who can do 40-hour weeks. (Writers who perform exceptionally well will be considered for full-time staff jobs, which offer robust benefits and salaries that are competitive with major news outlets. We're based in San Francisco.) Please include writing samples when applying. Applications without writing samples will not be considered. Finalists will be offered test assignments, which we will pay for if work is delivered in publishable condition. (We determine publishable condition. We don't want work that needs heavy editing, backfilling or correcting.) We will not pay for unpublishable work. BUFFERAPP Be part of the Buffer journey and apply to the many positions they have open: Happiness Hero, Android Hacker, Reliability Hacker, Frontend Hacker, Content Crafter, Weekend Warrior, Life Saver, and UI/UX Designer.

Freelance Writing Jobs For Beginners
So you're a beginner freelance writer and you're wondering where to start? We all have to start somewhere and it's best to start where you can gain more credentials before succumbing to a bigger/better freelance job.
Listed below is a super simple list of websites where anybody can start making money to write. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner, intermediate, or advance writer, these websites below are perfect for everyone. In fact, some of us freelance writers still use some of these websites as backup jobs.
UPFRONT PAYMENT JOBS
Make Easy Money With ZNZ (Zip Nada Zilch)
UPDATE! ZNZ IS NOW CLOSING. SORRY FOR THOSE WHO MISSED OUT ON THIS OPPORTUNITY! I'LL BE LISTING MORE BETTER OPPORTUNITIES SOON.
I'm going to make this short and to the point. I want to spread the word to people who are wondering about working for a legit company online. I will answer some common questions that some of you may have that is stopping you from joining this great opportunity.
What is ZNZ? Well, ZNZ is a company that stands for Zip Nada Zilch which means exactly what it implies. You don't have to invest any kind of money in order to make money here. ZNZ is always hiring 'Referral Agents' in the USA, Canada, and the UK.
What is a "Referral Agent?" A referral agent is what you will be once you register with them. Referral agents' only task is to promote, promote, promote ZNZ to get more people to join them and promote them also. Simple, right?
Is ZNZ legit? Now, that is the question. Yes, they are legitimate and they/we (since I'm working for them) work with popular companies that are looking for people to try out their trial services and continue to use them if they like them.
How much are you paid? It depends on what program you're registered with. You can be registered to more than one if you want to make more money. The most popular ones are ZNZ One and ZNZ Big Cash. Look at the image below for a breakdown.
ZNZ One will pay you $20 for each person you refer or get from your promotions. Big Cash, joined with ZNZ One, will make you a range of $60-$85 or so. So as you can see, you can do a job like this and make extra cash on the side.
Who is this job for? Everybody. Anyone. As long as you're dedicated to promoting this company to get the word out and more referrals, you'll make money. This is also a great job for getting money for the holidays that are coming up. Christmas can be expensive make/save extra money.
That's the main gist of the company and I hope many of y'all will take advantage of it. If you still have any questions, leave them in the comment section below.
4 Websites That Can Help You Find Your Ideal Job
You may have come across this topic a lot, but I still find many people that can benefit from these type of posts. For example, I've been looking for a flexible part-time job for the past couple of weeks that would fit in with my schedule. I've been using job sites such as: Indeed, Craiglist, and Linkedin with some to a little success.
I realized that I was only using websites that were popular instead of broadening my job search for a better chance of getting my ideal job. I came across some duds and some other okay finds, but the 4 websites I'm about to introduce were some of the ones I felt I should share.
Social Career Page is a website that both job seekers and employers can benefit from. Job seekers can make a profile with all the required information needed to automatically give to listed employers that they are interested in working for. Employers, on the other hand, don't have to worry about paying a fee to post their jobs and easily find their ideal candidate.
Staff is a perfect job website for job seekers who are looking to work from home. I love the concept of this website! All you have to do is fill out your profile, post your resume, and list your experience so that they can fit you to an employer.
Outtaskrr is similar to Fiverr. Here you can buy or sell your services. I like that this isn't the general kind of marketplace website. Instead of selling your skills like writing, marketing, advertising, etc., Outtaskr is looking for people who can sing, play piano, or guitar.
Biznik is a little different from the others, but I decided to post it anyway. Biznik is a network created for independent business people to help/support better networking. If you're an independent business owner, you can benefit from this and use it to your advantage in order to get yourself out there. Getting yourself out there may equate to making more money.
