Start a Business Blog Writer

Description

The Logical Entrepreneur is looking for a writer for a series of posts about starting a U.S. based business, from the first person perspective or with at least enough fluency on the topic to sound like you really know what you’re talking about.

The tone must be conversational

Post should be in the word range

Grammar and all the other mechanics must be correct

Written at the high school level, like the NY Times

We use holistic SEO, so we’ll be including some key words, but not so many as to make it choppy

As usual, everything must be original.

The most important part is that your writing tells a story, flows, and engages the reader; we want your voice to shine through, provided it’s appropriate to the audience. It doesn’t have to be a totally happy article, sometimes business is a little gritty and we recognize that.

We want to make sure you get the credit for at least the initial posting of your work on our site, so we will include an author bio and give you a link or two.

Plan on about $50 per post, with about 10 posts covering the topic. If the series runs a little long that’s cool with us provided it sound dragged out. If you writing blows our socks off we can discuss a little more money. We do play by the IRS rules, so either we run you through a site like Upwork, or 1099. Sorry, we’re not going to send you an envelope with cash in it.

Last but not least, we have a publishing agreement that you get to sign.

How to apply

The usual stuff is:

A cool letter about YOU!

Something that shows us that YOU are an AWESOME writer.

Give us a really strong feeling that YOU know a lot about starting a small business and are not a total wannabe.

If we like your writing style, plan on a Skype or at minimum a phone call, we like to know who we’re dealing with, plus we think it’s just common courtesy to talk to you every now and then.

Please do not call, we do our best to reply to everybody in a timely manner, but it might take a day or two.
