Compensation offered: £2.50 GBP per news article (avg 300 words), £5 for longer-form content.

Power Up Gaming is a UK-based video games website that has built a strong and popular presence in the industry over the past decade, off the back of its exclusive, breaking news and in-depth editorials. We are indexed by Google News, allowing our stories to be enjoyed by thousands of readers every day.

We are looking for SEO content writers who are able to produce a 'winning formula' to surface trending news articles in Google News and drive engagement. Please provide examples of ranking content you have personally written.

You will be expected to use independent research on sites such as Reddit, Reset Era, X, developer forums and press releases to identify breaking news before mainstream competitors and cover it on the site.

Regurgitating news from mainstream gaming / pop culture sites is not accepted.

Absolutely no use of GPT or generative AI permitted.

Requirements:

• Must have an engaging writing style that takes into account both SEO considerations and the needs of the reader, impeccable grammar - and you must be a native English speaker.
• Must have demonstrable experience of producing entertainment/journalistic content.
• Must have the ability to identify industry trends and report on original news stories ahead of the curve, rather than simply rehashing content from elsewhere.
• Must be a passionate and knowledgeable video game fan.
• Must have experience in using Wordpress and Yoast SEO.
