NOW HIRING: Copywriter

Company: Ellipsis Marketing LTD

Website: https://getellipsis.com

Headquarters: Oxford, United Kingdom

Ellipsis Marketing is a forward-thinking agency for WordPress businesses. WordPress powers 37% of the internet and we support its product and service economy with digital marketing.

We sit at the intersection of digital marketing and the WordPress ecosystem, serving agencies who sell websites to the biggest companies in the world, and product businesses who sell functionality to WordPress users. We help our clients reach millions of users and are helping make the web more powerful and easier to use.

As a 100% remote team, we carefully balance collaboration with an environment that enables everyone to do their best work.

We're looking for freelance copywriters to collaborate with us on creating conversion-focused copy for high-level email marketing campaigns, as well as product/sales pages for our digital clients. You’ll work alongside our Conversions Manager and marketing team to create engaging content that supports our clients’ conversion goals.

If you are a great copywriter and have experience working on digital products/SaaS, please read on!

Requirements: hard skills

• Excellent conversion-focused writing skills that drive results for our clients
• Expert-level CRO
• Proven experience writing, proofreading and editing
• Availability to work ad-hoc on freelance projects, with scope for a guaranteed minimum number of projects per month after completion of trial period
• Meticulous attention to detail (near-perfect spelling and grammar)
• Native-level English

Requirements: soft skills

• Fantastic communication skills: Remote work relies on mutual trust, so frequent and clear written communication is essential
• Receptive to feedback and solutions-oriented: We share and learn from each other honestly, openly, and easily
• Proven organisational skills: You must be obsessive with deadlines, managing and updating tasks, and totally reliable
• Self-driven work ethic: You need to be self-motivated, comfortable taking the initiative, and see projects through to completion

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience writing for social media
• Knowledge of the WordPress product industry, or SaaS industry
• SEO expertise beyond basic keyword research
• Familiarity with project management and remote-work tools, e.g. Basecamp
• Knowledge of email marketing platforms like MailChimp/Drip/Jilt
• WordPress user (advanced usage desirable but not essential), Ahrefs, Google Analytics, GSuite

How you'll work

Our aim is to get great results for our clients, which typically means higher conversions. Our clients are either WordPress product businesses selling WordPress plugins, or WordPress agencies selling websites to clients.

We'd like to work with you on a freelance, ad-hoc project basis. Upon completion of a (paid) trial project, our working process involves discovery to start, followed by copy creation. We'll work with you on edits, and then take it from there.

We'd love to send you regular work, and work with you for a long time. We're fully remote, and this freelance role is fully remote too. If you think you’d be a good fit, we'd love to hear from you.

You can apply here. We look forward to hearing from you!

Please note: we're specifically after product page and email copy here, not blog posts. We do also work with freelancers on blog posts, and welcome applications through this form.

Thanks!

Alex and the Ellipsis team

NOW HIRING: SEO Writer

Company: GemBox

Website: https://www.gemboxsoftware.com

Headquarters: London, England

At GemBox, we make fast and easy–to–use .NET and Java components for developers, with a strong focus on file formats and well–documented APIs. Our components are used by more than 7000 companies worldwide (including NASA, The US Navy, Microsoft, and Deutsche Bank) to import and export various Excel, Word, and PDF files.

We are fully remote with a small and dedicated team based mostly in Croatia, EU. The team works in an agile style using the Kanban framework, prefers documentation over chat, and aims for async communication. To learn more about the way we work, check our public company manual.

About the job

Most of our customers find us through search engines. Positioning ourselves well on search engines for keywords we cover is crucial for us. We already have a list of keywords we target, SEO optimized pages for them, and tools that track our SEO metrics.

We want to improve our SEO, expand the list of keywords we track, and continuously improve pages that cover them. We have all the knowledge required to bring our SEO to a higher level, but we don’t have time to execute those tasks ourselves. We need someone who is excellent at writing SEO content to help us.

We’ll provide you with basic text that contains technical information and code snippets. If needed, we’ll tell you how to find keywords we should track and how to optimize pages for them. What we need from you is the willingness to learn new things, and the ability to improve our existing content so that it becomes easy to read and understand. You will also combine existing texts into new content that will cover new keywords, and continuously track the status of current keywords and optimize pages for those that are not positioned well.

Later we’ll expand your list of responsibilities with tasks such as contacting customers and writing about their success stories with our components, and improving our social media pages.

Requirements

• Excellent understanding of the English language
• Excellent writing skills
• Basic understanding of HTML
