Talented Copywriter (Affiliate and Search Marketing) - Affilorama.com

Doubledot Media is a New Zealand-based company creating online tools and training for people looking to start their own online businesses. We’re based in Christchurch, but the majority of our team work remotely from various places around the world. (Living in the future FTW!) We're looking for a talented individual to join us in writing content for our popular affiliate marketing portal, Affilorama.com. Affiliate marketing covers a broad range of subjects, including web design, outsourcing, search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising, sales copywriting, a bit of graphic design, a pinch of superstition and a big helping of common sense. It's a bit of a crazy industry, populated by larger-than-life gurus peddling snake oil, hype, fear, and a whole lot of "BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!" so here at Affilorama we try to break through the hype with our down-to-earth lessons, genuine personalities and good ol' Kiwi charm. We're looking for someone with experience with these technologies and industry to help us write lessons, scripts and blog posts (and whatever else turns up!). * You should be experienced in at least several aspects of this industry: For instance, web design, sales copywriting, PPC advertising, search engine optimization, etc. * You must be able to break a task down and get right to the heart of it: No lessons full of fluff, no beating around the bush. Our users want clear-as-day, step-by-step, hype-free lessons. * Our members are predominantly older chaps and chapesses, who haven't necessarily grown up with the internet, and who often have their livelihoods at stake: Can you write in a way that is engaging, informative, reassuring, and that your parents would be able to follow? Empathy is key here. * You should be a clear thinker: Able to objectively analyse a piece and ask yourself whether it is truly succeeding in what it's trying to do, and not afraid to overhaul something that isn't working. * You must be good at paying attention to detail and checking facts (things change rapidly in this industry!) * And obviously, your technical grasp of English must be good and things you write must be readable and make sense. The "making sense" part is the most important. We can handle the odd erroneously-placed apostrophe, so long as the heart and structure of the writing is A-OK! This is a great opportunity to flex your writing muscles. While a lot of the content can be reasonably technical, the way we write the content has to be friendly, entertaining, personable and accessible to a wide audience. While qualifications or experience in writing or journalism would be valuable, we're more interested in industry knowledge and your ability to write with clarity. If you think you've got the spark we're after... then we want to hear from you.
