The hired blogger, who will be paid $20/post, will be posting articles for a blog which will be updated with new content around four times a week. We are shooting for 16 articles per month, but total number of posts per month will vary depending on how successful the blog posts are within the web community. So for example, the more successful each article is throughout the web, the more, we as a startup, will invest in increaseing the number of blog posts. The length of each articles/blogs will be split up 50/50. Half of the articles will be 300 words in length and half of the articles/blogs will be 500 words in length. As a recap, the hired blogger needs to write 16 articles/month half of which are 500 words in length and the other half being 300 words in length all of which need to be on topic.<p>The blog will have an overall "Security" theme to it, but will also focus on the following topics-- "new and upcoming web technologies", “online security (for both consumers and businesses)", "online privacy issues (consumers and business)", "how to shop smart and safely online", and hundreds of other online technology and business related topics for consumers and businesses. As long as the blogger stays within these themes, they will have complete creative freedom when writing the blogs/articles.<p>The requirements to becoming the head blogger are as follows. Experience is a plus but not a requirement for this position, the startup is more focused on hiring someone who is passionate about the previously mentioned topics and who can throw some of their personality into the posts. Having passion for the topic at hand is the most important requirement. The other requirement is for interested candidates to provide an example article about one of the topics. They can email that article to rsylvesterl-php [at] yahoo [dot] com.<p>Once the startup receives some quality submissions they will chose the candidate that they feel is a best fit for the company. If interested, please email the sample article or if you have more questions about the company, and in particular its name, please feel free to contact me at rsylvesterl-php [at] yahoo [dot] com.
