    Our content team is looking to hire an experienced editor that has a strong command of the English language.

    The only role of this position is to edit articles and content. No creative ideas, management, production or anything else, just cleaning up content to ensure everything is grammatically and informationally correct.

    Pay is $5 per article, which will range from 250 words to 1000 words. Weekly workload will vary by season, but initially will range from 50-75 articles per week.

    If interested, please send resume and five relevant writing samples to scottwcooley@gmail.com

    $5 per article? Guess it's not asking for free work.

    Cartman, Kenny, Kyle and Stan made a better offer to these guys

    Content for what? Is it a website? Exactly what is it?

    Sounds a bit like Demand Media Studios, which employed just about every laid-off/bought-out newspaper copy editor on the market (including yours truly) seven/eight years ago. It was a go-to site for "how-to" articles such as "How to Remove a Cat Vomit Stain" (yes, that was an actual title).

    My recollection is that you had to use some noxious combination of ammonia and lemon juice, or maybe it was white vinegar and lemon juice. Was a case of the cure being almost as bad as the disease.

    Sharecroppers in 1950 had better options than this.

    Scott,
    Is this a sports copy-editing job for a newspaper or website or both?
