Job description

What we're looking for --


We're seeking talented writers who know how to successfully use ChatGPT as a writing tool, not as a writing replacement.

The process is as follows:


1. Research competing articles
2. Develop an outline with ChatGPT
3. Generate the article with ChatGPT
4. Edit for:

  • Structure -Improve the structure, when needed, to meet user intent better and explain concepts more clearly, and in the right order
  • SEO-friendliness -Keywords are used appropriately, and user intent is met
  • Skimmable formatting -Short paragraphs, bullets, numbered lists, etc. where appropriate
  • Expertise explained simply -Expert jargon, where necessary, is included and explained simply
  • Removing GPT voice -GPT is prone to repeating itself, adding fluff and unnecessary words, and overall has several "tells"

5. Add citations - Cite 7-10 facts from reputable sources


This remains a writing process that will likely take 5-6 hours to finalize per article.


Who we're looking for --

  • AI-savvy editors:You know what GPT-generated content looks like, and how to make it sound human.
  • SEO editors:You know what a useful article that meets user intent looks like, and how to achieve it
