JOB OVERVIEW

I’m looking for a writer for on-going writing around the topics of self-help, sales and marketing, business and motivation. I need someone who can work quickly and start immediately. This is a part-time role of 4-6 hours per day and will last for around ten working days, or until the completion of one book. Thereafter, if the quality of the writing is to standard, the project may be extended indefinitely. The successful candidate for this position does not need an understanding of any specific topic but should be an outstanding researcher and writer.

My books use the following format:

-A personalized tone (you and me, one-on-one, etc.)
-Magazine headline-style teasers in the TOC without giving the book away in the TOC
-The use of keywords provided in the title, subtitle, and/or description
-An introduction that excites and sells – what is the problem? What is the solution? -Quantifiable and tangible solutions
-A Headline – Background – Resolution – Action Framework throughout the book
-Headline – Why you should be reading this book
-Background – What you will get out of reading this book (state the problem(s) the book will resolve
-Resolution – How to conceptually solve the problem
-Action – A step-by-step process to solve the problem
-Providing the reader with exactly what they’re looking for
-Niche research – find out what people are saying about the subject (use resources like Amazon, Reddit, YouTube, etc.) Know your target market and what they’re asking for.

This position will require you to:
-Create an Amazon Authors page
-Write a brief descriptions for the book following the H-B-R-A framework above
-Choose pictures for the book
-Write the book (10-12k words). I will provide an outline for sections/chapters of the book
-Format the book with pictures included, and an interactive TOC

To apply for this position, please respond to this job description with your past work, related experience, and an explanation on why you’d be a perfect candidate for this position. Please keep in mind that grammar, spelling, and punctuation must all be reviewed before any submissions and your edited work will be expected when submitting work to me.

I don’t want to micromanage the successful candidate so I’d like you to be able to work well on your own and use your own discretion while working. The expected delivery time for the books will be 2 weeks from the day you start. The earlier, the better.

To know that you’ve read through all of the requirements, please begin your application with the phrase, ‘Blue Ocean’. Any application without this phrase at the beginning will NOT be considered.
