• You MUST be a team player and have great communication skills – Anyone who prefers not being an active member of the team, or prone to negativity, will find it difficult, if not impossible, to work with us (or anyone for that matter).
• You MUST be reliable - For example, when agreeing to complete your work, you will ensure delivery within the time you specified. Otherwise, you should give early warning to let us know why you cannot complete it on time. This will allow us to notify another team member who can get it taken care of by any deadline.
• You MUST have the dedication and time to commit to regular writing – at least a few times per week. Daily would be ideal.
• You MUST have a Gmail account, and have knowledge of Google Drive, as this is what our writers and editors use so they may collaborate and work together.
• You need a Skype account. - For communication within the team, we are using Skype though no video/audio is necessary. We simply use it to chat with one another if we have comments, questions, etc., or even if we just like to say “Hi.” (We are considering the move to Google Hangout soon)
• Always communicate in a respectful, calm, and positive manner.
• You need the desire to be an active member of a quality content producing team – You may not yet realize you have this desire of course, but being active within a team like this does bring great rewards.
• You need the desire to improve and take action on advice given by editors and other writers – They are there to help ensure your message comes across in what you write, another pair of eyes so to speak, so their feedback is useful and must be acted on to improve. You will be expected to keep a record of whatever issues are raised with your writing and proactively find ways to correct it.
• Ability to produce content with little, or better still, no editing required.
• Able to follow instructions – This is important, because this is how our clients will measure our quality.
• Dedication to good writing – Beyond any language skill, there is an absolute minimum standard you must adhere to at any level. This includes no plagiarism and good researching from authoritative resources, for example.

Role

• The work quantity and quality will vary, depending on the group you are selected to be in. Normally, work is to be submitted within a 12 hour deadline. Other projects have different flexible commitments, however. 
• You will follow and work to improve the process that is in place by working with the rest of the team. 
• Any writer that shows they understand language, grammar, and instructions will also be able to choose between content creation and editing. 
• If a writer is a great team player and understands the process well, there is an opportunity to become a Team Leader, or even get involved with managing. 

Pay

• Current rate range is $5-$20 per 1000 words and is exclusive of any financial or service charges. No Upfront payment before you start anything. 
• $5 per 1000 words is where most writers start, but if you require little or no editing and show you can follow instructions well, you will be moved into your relevant rate. There are later opportunities to train up into the higher rates.
• Specialists will earn higher rates by invitation to whatever level the content demands. If you are demonstrably knowledgeable about subjects requested by the client then you will be invited to take part in projects at higher rates of pay.
• Higher rates are available to projects that require particular skills, knowledge or styles that are demanded by the subject or requested by the client. These will be given by invitation as they arise on a skills match and first come first served basis.
