Hi guys!
We run a newsletter and website targeted at the over 60’s audience and need someone to help build out news and evergreen content for us. Our audience is based in Australia, so some (but not all) of the content will need to have an Australian focus. Check it out here: /
You obviously don’t need to be based in Australia, but having near native English proficiency is an absolute must – please don’t apply if you’re not confident about your written English skills.
Our audience likes a wide variety of content, but things that usually work especially well are articles about:
Scams (and how to avoid them)
Cleaning and organising hacks
Celebrity deaths / obituaries
Popular Australian retailers (for example, our main grocery chains – Coles and Woolworths – and other popular stores like Kmart)
Product recalls
Your task will be to rewrite and expand on stories/articles we provide. The process will essentially go like this…
I’ll provide a story idea and a reference. For example, the story idea might be about a new scam targeting older 60s in Australia. Where appropriate I’ll also provide a link to some related stories, though you’ll also be expected to find some on your own.
Your job is to read the main reference and a few of the related stories, and synthesise them into a 600-800 word article. The article can link to the various references you use where appropriate, and you can embed tweets/quotes if you think they’re appropriate. You’ll then need to post them on our website, and occasionally work with our designers to organise custom images, charts, infographics, etc.
Here’s a few examples of some of the more popular pieces of content we’ve published recently so that you can get a feeling for our style and the type of content we write:

/threads/farewell-to-a-tv-icon-jeff-watson-of-getaway-and-towards-2000-passes-away-at-80.19230/
/threads/over-4-7-million-australians-to-get-a-centrelink-payment-boost-here’s-how-much-more-money-you-could-be-receiving.19425/
We’ve built up a suite of AI powered writing tools that we’ll train you on that should dramatically increase the speed and quality of your writing.
If this sounds like something you’re interested in, please get in touch – ideally with a little bit of information about yourself, and some examples of previous content you’ve written. Pay is $240 USD / week for full time work, with an expectation of 8 of these articles per day. There’ll also be opportunities to make extra money by writing bonus articles, which we pay for on a per article basis., and once you pass your trial period, you’ll be entitled to paid sick/holiday days, and a health insurance stipend of 50 USD / month.
Please message here, and then PM me with a few examples of your previous written work for me to review, as well as a couple of sentences about yourself, where you’re based, etc.
Note also that you’ll be expected to work from around 9am-5pm Sydney time. This is currently 7am-3pm Philippines time.
