Description

Thanks for your interest in this opportunity!

We are Surfd.com - a growing surf lifestyle, product and culture website that has been online since 2002.

Producing quality long form content has been critical to our success and we are on a mission to deliver the best possible information to our readers.

As such, I would like to commission an experienced editor to review and refine our top 30 (or so) published articles to ensure they are clear, grammatically correct and consistent in tone.

HOW WE WOULD COLLABORATE

My ideal collaboration is with someone who is confident using WordPress and can simply edit and improve the articles directly on our live website. The selected editor will be comfortable diving in and asking questions as needed.

We use Asana as a project management tool and share tasks and progress there.

THE OBJECTIVE

As you know, Google rewards quality content. Your objective, as the editor, is to tidy up repetition, ensure consistency and fix any glaring issues. Ideally, you will check outbound links to ensure they are still valid. Where applicable, we'd appreciate that you implement the appropriate H2 and H3 tags to improve structure.

THE BRIEF

To test the relationship we could begin with 2-3 articles. We'd then proceed to our top 30 articles.

If this goes well, there is scope to review older articles, combine some of them into new posts, remove some, etc.

Where necessary, our in-house designer will be able to replace or improve imagery based on your suggestions.

For the future, a successful partnership could involve you working more formally with our team, editing all articles before they are published.

ABOUT YOU

An interest in surfing or action sports is highly regarded, as we do use some surfer slang in our posts. UK or US English are fine - ideally we'd like to move towards consistency across the site. The majority of our readers are from the US but let's discuss this. You will have strong attention to detail and the desire for every piece of work to be polished to perfection (or somewhere in that vicinity).

You should also have knowledge of basic SEO principles so that we maintain or improve our rankings as a result of this collaboration. However, we are not into keyword manipulation - we are here to provide quality content that answers the questions our readers ask.

ABOUT US

We're very easy to work with and provide clear briefs and direction. I'll be pleased to support your efforts every step along the way.

REMUNERATION

We are open to working on a per-article or hourly fee. Please list your required rate in your application.
