WORK WITH US

Freelance Content & Outreach (contract, project based)

We're looking for freelancers to help with content development and outreach.

You'll explore websites and online communities, identify opportunities to contribute something useful, and develop your own content ideas based on what you learn about each organization and its audience. You'll then work collaboratively to refine those ideas, reach out to people, and turn them into thoughtful content that serves readers and supports business goals.

We want to contribute information and perspectives that people genuinely benefit from, while building relationships with the person or group behind the websites we work with. We care about the value each contribution creates more than views or clicks.

If you enjoy taking initiative, developing ideas from scratch, and seeing them through to make a meaningful contribution, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

  • Explore websites and online communities to discover opportunities to contribute, looking beyond well-known publications to smaller organizations and businesses that serve specific audiences well.

  • Assess whether a business or organization is credible, does valuable work for its community, and could benefit from our contribution.

  • Research promising organizations, their websites, and their audiences to identify gaps or opportunities where useful content could serve readers and support business goals.

  • Work collaboratively to develop content ideas that fit the website, offer value to its audience, and serve the organization's goals.

  • Write thoughtful, personalized outreach emails based on a genuine understanding of the recipient and the value we could offer.

  • Work collaboratively to create content that serves readers' needs while supporting the organization's business goals.

  • Help build relationships with website owners, editors, and organizations through thoughtful follow-ups and learning from their responses.

What we’re looking for

  • Naturally curious, observant, and resourceful, with a genuine interest in supporting others.

  • Open to learning about a wide range of topics, including business, websites and related technology, and other subjects as needed.

  • Able to recognize useful connections and opportunities others might overlook.

  • Good judgment when evaluating organizations, understanding audiences, and developing content ideas that serve both readers and business goals.

  • Ideally a clear, thoughtful writer who can explain ideas in a way that helps others understand something or see a new perspective.

  • Comfortable taking initiative, thinking independently, and working collaboratively to bring ideas to life.

  • Confident reaching out when they've identified a genuine opportunity to contribute, and motivated by building relationships that empower and leave everyone better off.

Rate

Starting at $30 CAD/hour. Since we expect applicants to bring a wide range of experiences and skills, we're open to discussing a rate that reflects what you bring to the work.

Application Process

You don't need formal training or professional experience in research, writing, or outreach, but you must have written something to contribute to others in the past. We'll assess your fit for this role based on what you've written and published, and the thinking behind it.

No resume is required. Simply complete the application form linked below. We read every application carefully, and we’ll let you know our decision within two weeks of applying.

This opportunity is open until this page is taken down.
