Facebook Writer Wanted For - Melbourne Cup Event / Music.

We have a client in the Entertainment / Music sector located in the Sunshine Coast Australia. We assist them with their social media, part of our monthly service includes the writing and posting (using Hootsuite) of a series of Facebook status updates.

We need a writer to handle this task. Maybe that's you?

This is a contract for the month of October and requires a batch of content written and delivered (according to Hootsuite specs) before the 1st of October (If possible). We have many more clients and are also looking for ongoing writers.

IMPORTANT We are asking ONLY for the content creation - writing. We post the updates - we simply want you to write Facebook updates and deliver them to us in Hootsuite batch upload format (basically a simple CSV spread sheet.)

We require ONE UPDATE per week day for the month (20-22 updates.) We expect you will consider the calendar and review the Melbourne Cup/ Horse Racing industry for content ideas. We anticipate you are a skilled social media writer and excel at creative and engaging updates for client channels like Facebook. They can be interesting facts, winners , statistics or comedy.

Updates need to vary in length (typically 3-7 sentences) and as you might expect, not be overly promotional. They can link back to aspects of the client event which is a racetrack function for 18 + and should be a mix of information, educational , comedy and so on.

[We want to work with good people and are offering $30 for the 20-22 monthly updates ... that's about $1.50 per update.]

Applying: Along with your cover letter, please submit 5-10 samples of posts

you have written or other writing samples that demonstrate your style. Also, ensure the first word of your application is [Racetime]. Failure to include this codeword will result in your application being rejected as it proves you don't read instructions!

We thank you in advance for applying. Please note, the successful contractor will be required to agree to maintain confidentiality and not solicit our client. We look forward to working with you and wish you the best.
