JOB OVERVIEW




Do you enjoy writing about sports and casinos? Would you like to turn your passion into money?

We are looking for a passionate writer interested in sports betting and online casinos. We are growing our team of writers so we can showcase their creative skills on our website(s). If you want your articles and posts to appear on page one of Google – so thousands of people can read them, then we want you to be part of our writing team.

Writing Goals
The majority of the content that you will write will be for our global gambling sites. We aim to produce the best quality articles and unique reviews that climb to the top of search engines.

To help us do this, we use tools such as Grammarly and Surfer SEO to optimise content before we publish it. This maximises the chances of ranking highly and getting more people to read it.

We want to speak to you if you have used these software tools before. If you have not, we can provide training to help you get the most out of them.

Your Responsibilities
You will work with one of our Directors to create a content calendar, which you will then work through to create the content. We will ask you to send a quick email daily to let us know what you have completed.

The type of content we expect you to write will include the following:
• Researching and writing reviews about sports betting companies and online casino websites
• Producing articles on sports such as soccer (football), golf, horse racing, motorsport etc.
• Writing casino game reviews
• Writing content which is similar to web pages on other gambling websites. This will involve understanding the topic and then rewriting a version in your own words
• Updating existing content on our website(s) so that it is more engaging for readers

We have an existing website that would benefit from a writer reading through the current content and then using Grammarly and Surfer SEO to make it more reader-friendly.

This would include formatting existing content, adding images (which will be supplied), proofreading the content and updating internal links to other web pages. The website CMS is a bespoke platform, so you will be given training on how to use it.

Once this initial project is complete, you will work through the content calendar to produce new content for the website(s).

Required Skills & Experience
To do this role, you will need the following skills/experience:
• Exceptional English writing skills (essential)
• Experience in sports betting and casino review writing
• Editing and proofreading experience
• Good knowledge of using Microsoft Word or Google Docs and Excel or Google Sheets
• Access to a fast and reliable internet connection

Soft Skills Required
We know that there are a lot of great writers out there who can write about any topic. We would prefer to work with someone with a genuine interest in sports betting or casinos. This will make your job much easier – as you can write from experience rather than having to perform research first.

Our Directors are based in the United Kingdom, and as a result, we would prefer someone who is a fast learner, who has an eye for detail and who can work with minimal supervision.

If you need help, we can communicate via email or Skype for day-to-day tasks (GMT). For more detailed discussions or to allow us to provide any training to you, we will use Zoom. So it will be beneficial to have a microphone, speakers and a webcam on your laptop/computer.

Desired Skills & Experience
If you have the following experience, this will be an advantage for you. However, we will offer training to those who are not experienced in these:

• Use Grammarly to improve the readability of written content
• Use Surfer SEO to analyse content for targeted keywords, then improve the content
• Use Ubersuggest to identify keywords to include in the content you produce
• Use WordPress to upload articles and posts to the website(s)
• Use image editor software such as Photoshop or Paint.Net to resize and crop images

Training Provided
We understand that not all content writers will have previously used the software. We will provide ongoing training to you on how to best use Grammarly, Surfer SEO and Ubersuggest.

After this, you will learn how to optimise content for SEO purposes and learn how to perform keyword research to identify web content that people read.

Work Schedule & Holidays
This is a part-time position, with the opportunity to move to a full-time job for the successful writer.

We mainly work Monday to Friday, though the schedule is flexible as long as you can work through the writing tasks we agree on.

You will qualify for three vacation leaves and three sick leaves after the 6-month probation period. We honour most Filipino holidays except for All Saints and All Souls Day.

Salary & Benefits
$350 per month for part-time work (20 hours a week).
Once you complete your 6-month probation, you will receive the 13th month.
We can pay you weekly for the first two months and then move to monthly payments if you want.

Career Potential
As you will commence as a part-time writer, we can convert this into a full-time role if we both like each other. At that stage, you will also have an opportunity to write for more of our websites.

If we continue to increase our pool of writers, you could be promoted to lead writer should this be a position you wish to develop into.

We aim to build a long-term business relationship with the successful VA content writer. For example, we have used the same writers on Fiverr for over four years. We trust each other and know what needs to be delivered each day/week.

How To Apply
Please send your CV to Upgrade to see actual info and follow the instructions below:
1. The email subject should be “I want to be your gambling writer”
2. Attach three examples of sports writing or casino reviews you have written
3. Please mention in the email if you have used Grammarly or Surfer SEO

We looking forward to hearing from some amazing content writers. Best of luck!
