DailyPride.com
Launching January 2011, in Los Angeles DailyPride.com is the daily deal site offering unbeatable local deals on the best stuff to do, eat, see, and buy in LGBT communities nationwide. DailyPride.com uses social buying power to offer unbeatable prices and provide significant benefits to businesses and consumers.
DailyPride's writing program is an opportunity for aspiring writers to come work in our Los Angeles offices on a freelance basis. DailyPride's associate writers will be assigned to write fun and enticing descriptions of businesses and services without overly humorous injections. This position is typically an independent contractor position starting at $10 per article written.
This position writes the introductory three paragraphs that explain the deal and the business. Writers do not compile the reviews. The details section must achieve two things: first, it must clearly explain the deal and present compelling imagery of what the customer experience will be; second, it must be well written and void of marketing clichés.
Writers will also cover new hot spots in West Hollywood and break the news on eateries, happenings and local news.
Experience is a plus, but not necessarily required if you have compelling samples. We'll work with anyone who can write succinctly, persuasively, and intelligently. DailyPride writers are held not only to a high quality standard, but must also show a willingness and ability to generate a high volume of copy on a daily basis. Fast typing and web savvy are critical.
Please submit a resume, DailyPride.com write-up sample, and cover letter as an attachment. PLEASE SEND RESUME AND WRITING SAMPLE TO: CAREERS@DAILYPRIDE.COM
