[Hiring] Site Expert @FanSided

Role Description

FanSided is looking to add a new Site Expert to join our team at Garnet and Cocky, our site dedicated to the South Carolina Gamecocks. Our site experts are asked to focus their efforts on building a vibrant community environment around the South Carolina Gamecocks while providing readers with fresh daily content. We want our site experts to be viewed as the most knowledgeable on their respective fandom and we want to ensure that we're offering readers a healthy mix of news and opinionated analysis. Providing something viewers can't read elsewhere is the key.

We offer plenty of advice and support but it will ultimately be up to you (and your co-expert, where applicable) to decide how to strategize your content efforts.

Site Experts are compensated based on a combination of the total traffic accrued by their articles and the overall traffic of the site each calendar month. The rates may vary depending on the traffic, the experience of the expert, and the site itself.

Qualifications

• Strong knowledge of the South Carolina Gamecocks and their fandom.
• Ability to create engaging and original content.
• Experience in digital media or writing preferred.

Requirements

• Lead a site that publishes a minimum of 50 total articles each calendar month.
• Personally write a minimum of 20 articles each month, with most writing between 25-30.
• Support contributors on the team by editing their articles, offering feedback as needed, and suggesting topic ideas.
• Help with the site’s social media accounts (typically Twitter and Facebook) by sharing articles and creatively engaging with other fans.

Benefits

• Flexible work schedule as an independent contractor.
• Opportunity to build a personal brand and audience.
• Access to a supportive community of fellow writers and fans.
