– Writer & Researcher
Content Researcher / Script & Outline Writer for Bancardsales.com and Brian Manning
Position Description
I’m looking for a team member!
If you’re a skilled writer and researcher and you like the idea of researching content, writing scripts and outlines for the purpose of producing video content to educate business owners on the topics of payment collection and other financial topics, then I’m inviting you to apply to be a team member.
About the Position and What You’ll Be Doing!
You will be researching and gathering information for the purpose of crafting outlines and scripts for our company YouTube channel.
Topics will include various industry categories within the financial technology industry.
For example, you will research and write about topics that include (but not limited to):
-
- merchant accounts
- payment pages
- invoice software
- business crm software
- credit cards
- digital wallets
- credit card terminals
- point of sale systems
- payment gateways
- and other general payment processing industry topics
You will be given general direction and categories to research.
We’ll talk/email/communicate regularly (at least monthly virtual meetings) as content will need to be produced on a weekly/monthly basis.
Here’s some examples of articles you may be asked to write:
1- What is Apple Pay and How Does It Work?
2- What is “NFC” (Near Field Communication) and How Do You Use It? (p.s. I already wrote this one, so you can see the video here: https://youtu.be/Gh2KRiSbGGE
3- Three Ways to Use a Payment Gateway (I already wrote this one too. See the video here: https://youtu.be/t2TQoplzX1g
You will be given general direction and categories to research.
We’ll talk/email/communicate regularly (at least monthly virtual meetings) as content will need to be produced on a weekly/monthly basis.
Tasks / Writing Responsibilities (Summary & Requirements):
- This is an ongoing position as regular monthly content is needed. The target will be between 1-4 articles/scripts/outlines each month. The exact amount of articles and scripts that will be required is contingent upon variables that we discuss during the initial trial phase.
- The majority of the content that is produced will be on topics in financial tech industry and specifically related to the payment processing industry.
- This writing is targeted at a ” B2B” audience.
- There will be main 3 types of articles needed: Research articles, Opinion Articles, and “How To” content (practical application)
- This is not an entry-level position. You must have at least 1-2 years experience working as a writer and be able to provide samples of your work.
- Previous financial tech writing experience is NOT required, but is a HUGE plus if you have it. If you don’t know the fintech industry you must be willing to learn and be able to make the topic, exciting to the reader.
- This is a part-time position. Hours required will vary based on your own workflow and process to get the needed content finished and delivered.
- This role is remote, so you can work anywhere in the United States as long as you are available from 8am-5:00pm Eastern Time on weekdays. We will communicate via email, chat, and phone (if needed).
This position is ideal for you if: (does this describe you?)
The ideal candidate is someone proactive with excellent written communication skills.
Again, I’d like to stress that I’m looking for a team member so it’s going to be important that we work well together.
If you have a mindset for taking notice of the details and the small things (like me) that make all the difference between a sub-par piece of content and an exceptional one, you’ll do great in this position.
- Ability to quickly learn new topics and subject material.
- You are a forward-thinker and self starter! I will not be spoon feeding you every single detail of assigned projects, so you have to be able to take general direction and make the project your own.
- Desire to learn and grow, refusal to make the same mistake twice.
- You must be eager to listen and be open to suggestions as well as able to give suggestions (I’m also wide open to suggestions that improve the overall process)
- You thrive in a team environment. I’m looking for a team member and want to work with someone who is a “glass half full” attitude.
If you are excited about supporting a quickly growing business in the payments consulting industry, and being able to work from anywhere, this job will be very rewarding and lucrative for you.
This position is NOT ideal for you if the following is true about you
- you’re ONLY looking for a way to make a little extra income
- you believe in doing just enough to get the job done
- the content and subject material is not exciting to you
If you’re excited…
about supporting a quickly growing business in the payments consulting industry, and being able to work from anywhere, this job will be very rewarding and lucrative for you.
