Job overview
Brightcast Media Group is listing an entry-level, fully remote Blog Post Writer role for people who enjoy researching questions and explaining what they learn in a clear, helpful way. Assignments typically range from 800 to 2,000 words and may cover informational topics that support a company blog and its readers. The work combines careful research, readable structure, basic search-engine optimization, and collaboration with editors.
This opportunity is designed for career changers, recent graduates, students, freelance writers, and candidates whose writing experience comes from school, volunteering, personal projects, or a blog rather than a previous writing job. Strong written English and research judgment matter more than credentials. No degree, writing certification, or coding skills are required.
What matters most: clear writing and reliable research
You should be able to explain a topic in your own words, distinguish trustworthy sources from weak ones, organize information logically, and check facts before submitting a draft. Training covers blog structure, SEO basics, research, and editing. You do not need to arrive as an SEO specialist, but you should be willing to learn and apply editorial feedback.
Hourly or per-article arrangements
The stated pay range is $16–$24 per hour, depending on experience and output. Some assignments may instead pay $30–$150 per article based on length and complexity. The exact pay model, expected workload, and terms should be discussed during the interview; do not assume both payment methods apply to every assignment.
What you'll write and manage
- Draft informational blog posts, usually around 800–2,000 words, based on an assignment brief
- Research the topic, compare credible sources, and verify factual statements and statistics
- Build a reader-friendly structure with a clear introduction, descriptive subheadings, and a useful conclusion
- Use target keywords naturally, align the article with search intent, and prepare meta descriptions when requested
- Add relevant internal links and ensure links support the reader's next question
- Write accurate, engaging headlines without exaggerating what the article delivers
- Follow the site's brand voice, style guide, formatting rules, and editorial brief
- Respond to editor comments and make revisions before the publishing deadline
- Coordinate with SEO specialists about target queries and content priorities
- Format articles in Google Docs, WordPress, or another assigned CMS
- Add approved images, useful alt text, and other formatting elements when required
- Refresh older articles, suggest new topics when asked, and keep content-calendar details current
- Review article performance metrics when they are part of the team's workflow
A typical article workflow
Exact processes vary by assignment, but a blog post often moves through these stages. The writer should confirm the brief and deadline before research begins and flag unclear requirements early.
Research before drafting
Collect credible references, record where claims come from, and note any facts that need confirmation rather than guessing.
Write for the reader
Use a logical outline, informative headings, concise paragraphs, and examples that help readers understand the subject.
Revise with care
Check clarity, factual accuracy, links, grammar, and the brief before sending the article to an editor.

- Reliable internet access, a suitable quiet workspace, and ability to work independently

Preferred qualifications
- Writing samples, personal blog posts, school assignments, or volunteer content that show your writing clearly

Do I need a portfolio?
A portfolio is helpful but professional clips are not a prerequisite. You can share a personal blog post, school project, volunteer article, or a short writing sample that you created yourself. Be clear about which work is yours, and do not submit confidential material or claim practice work was published for a client.

The stated hourly range is $16–$24 per hour, based on experience and output. Entry-level candidates generally start near the lower end.

Frequently asked questions
Can I apply without professional writing experience?
Yes. Prior professional writing or blogging experience is not required. Strong written English, research skills, careful fact-checking, reliability, and the ability to revise your work are the main prerequisites.
Do I need a degree or writing certification?
No degree or certification is required. A high school diploma or equivalent is required. Your writing ability and research judgment are more relevant than additional credentials for this entry-level role.
Do I need to know SEO before applying?
Basic familiarity with keywords, search intent, and meta descriptions is helpful, but the supplied role details say training covers SEO basics, blog structure, research, and editing. You are not expected to arrive as an SEO specialist.
Is a portfolio mandatory?
No. Writing samples or personal blog posts can help, but candidates can also discuss school assignments, volunteer writing, or personal projects. Only share work you are allowed to disclose and accurately describe your contribution.
Is pay hourly or per article?
The stated hourly range is $16–$24. Some assignments may instead pay $30–$150 per article depending on length and complexity. The applicable payment model should be discussed during the interview.
How many articles will I write each week?
A fixed article count has not been supplied. Full-time work is typically 40 hours weekly; part-time and contract work may be project-based or article-based. Ask about expected output, research depth, revisions, and deadlines for the specific assignment.
Can I use AI-assisted writing tools?
Comfort with AI-assisted tools is preferred, not required. Any tool use should follow the employer's policy. Writers remain responsible for factual accuracy, source verification, originality, privacy, and making the final draft useful and readable.
What is the difference between this job and copywriting?
This role focuses on informational company-blog articles that answer reader questions and may support organic search. Copywriting generally emphasizes persuasive marketing messages such as ads, landing pages, and campaign copy. Product description writing focuses on explaining individual products, while ghostwriting may involve long-form work written in another person's voice.
