Part-time Job: Copywriter for SurveyGizmo, Boulder, Colorado
UPDATE: We hired someone!
Widgix Software is looking for an experienced copywriter to create documentation, tutorials, and maybe do some blogging for our flagship product, SurveyGizmo (http://www.surveygizmo.com). You can see examples of the sort of writing on our wiki & here on our blog
The Job:
The writing is a little bit marketing and little bit technical. The audience we’re writing for is usually non-technical, so having a knack for taking a topic and breaking it down into bite sized pieces anyone can grasp is what we are after. This is definitely not manual writing on how to set your VCR clock! The marketing comes into play deciding what to write about to help our users and to always show them the benefits of upgrading. We like to have a little fun with our tone to keep it light and interesting. Our customers are largely marketers so being able to think like them and know a bit of their lingo is helpful.
Requirements:
Strong writing skills and motivation. Because we market to marketers all applicants must have a firm understanding of basic marketing principles in addition to the marketer’s mindset.
We have a wiki, a blog, and a help forum so there is a ton of writing to do. This will be an ongoing project 10-20 hrs/wk. $15/hour. Look, we know it’s not a lot, but we hope to find someone who likes the company, the work and sees the potential. There is a lot of work to do and you can contribute in just about any area you have an aptitude for.
Our office is on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, but we are open to ’some’ work taking place at home for the right person. This position is perfect for a stay-at-home-parent who is looking to stay current in marketing & copywriting or a journalism graduate student looking to break into hi-tech startups.
Our company is young, but grew strong & steady during 2006. We are serious about our goals and products, but are an easy going bunch to work with.
*** Local applicants only (you must live near live Boulder). We love India, Serbia, and Silicon Valley, but not for this position. No outside recruiters either please! ***
