4/1/18: The position has been filled; thank you to everyone for your interest!
2/2/18: Right now I’m looking for ideally one writer to write 5 short posts every week about products YOU pick. We’ll take care of images, adding affiliate links, and more, but it would be awesome to find someone who loves curating products and writing 2-3 sentences about them.
The Ideal Writer
You:
- have recently worked in a conservative office
- are a bit of a fashionista
- are a working mom to young kids
- can reliably write things on a deadline.
If you want to write anonymously or under a pseudonym I’m fine with that! If you have a blog of your own or some other home on the web that you’d like us to link to, I’m also open to that, within reason.
Deadlines/Editorial Calendars
Right now our editorial calendar is a two-week cycle; I’m hoping to get 5 days of posts all at one time. We’re flexible about deadlines, though. We can help you a bit with sourcing suggestions, probably via a Slack channel.
Week 1:
– Maternity Monday
– Accessory Tuesday
– Washable Wednesday – a piece of workwear (dress, blouse, sweater, pants, whatever) that is machine washable
– Budget Thursday (preferably a piece of workwear but shoes/bags/accessories OK too — discounted items or low cost items but
– Family Friday – Game/shoe/accessory for kids/hubs/weekend digs for mom
Week 2:
– Makeup/Beauty Mon
– Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday
– Washable Wednesday
– Organizing/Make My Life Easier Thursday — because we need an image and because I want morning posts to be consistent, this should be product based but ultimately is a great place to share tips.
– Family Friday – Clothes for kids/hubs/weekend digs for mom
Pay
Right now I’m thinking $10 per morning post, which if you do them quickly could be $50 an hour (or more if you’re fast). If you have ideas for other posts to write for the blog that are longer/more indepth there are definitely opportunities to expand your role as writer.
How to Throw Your Hat in the Ring
Please email us at kat at corporette dot com with subject line CMOMS WRITER and the following things:
- Resume (including any links to online writing you’ve done in the past)
- EITHER a picture of yourself in a work outfit OR 5 Suggestions for what you would recommend readers wear to work (independently of the below request)
- Pick 3 products for any 3 days in the editorial calendar
- Write up one of the 3 products. (Most of my TPS morning reports are 150-200 words; if you hit 300+ words you’re probably spending too much time.)
