D IGGING DEEPER INTO BACON

What Bacon looks for in writers:

Curiosity: People who write for Bacon have to do a of research. And they are good at it. They read a lot and stay up to date on all the best practices. They like digging into unfamiliar topics and quickly become experts in the subject matter.

Storytellers: Bacon writers know that each piece of fresh contenteach social post, blog, whitepaper, newsletter and video script is basically a short story within a bigger brand story. They see the bigger picture and can reduce it into easily digestible segments.

Good editors: Bacon likes writers who strive for impeccability. They want people who will take the time to critique and review their work before they submit it to make sure that every piece supports the client's strategy. They also want writers who will optimize content for both people and SEO.

Conversion-centric: Bacon wants writers who understand the time-honored art of persuasion and can provide subtle, clever and effective copy. They like writers who understand that content should not be a hard sell, but an invitation to feel, think and act. (TIP: If you do not know who Joanna Wiebe is, read about her before applying.)

Open to feedback: Bacon wants writers who are open to self-improvement. They need to be able to take on feedback from our editors and clients. When work gets sent back for revisions, writers need to view it, not a failure, but as a challenge.

Versatility: Bacon looks for writers who are natural mimics. In essence, they want writers who can absorb a brands unique personality and take on its style, voice and tone. In some instances, they even ask writers to create a brand's voice.

Strategic: Bacon is interested in writers who understand strategy and branding. Instead of merely taking orders, writers need to be able to collaborate with our Bacon's editors to develop content that people really want to read. They may also be asked to actively suggest ideas for client blogs based on research. If an assignment feels entirely off-base, writers are asked to have a conversation with the editor before they attempt to write it to ensure it is in alignment with the overall content strategy.

Communicative and Deadline-driven: When guidance is needed or information is lacking, Bacon asks writers to speak up and ask for support. They dont want writers who wallow in misery or get lured down the rabbit hole. If a deadline is looming and they aren't not sure they will meet it, writers need to speak up and be proactive. They must let the editors know it may not happen as soon as they hoped and there is a potential issue. They will also be asked to set a new expectation for when they will be able to have it done. This will allow Bacon's editors to communicate with clients or reassign content with a hard deadline in enough time for another writer to complete the task.

What Bacon expects from writers

• They take the time to visit each client's website and familiarize themselves with their market and business.
• They review the client's intake questionnaire, the client's blog and any resources Bacon provides.
• They visit competitors to see what they are doing and discover ways to do it better.
• They understand SEO basics and how to incorporate keyword phrases into each article, while always writing for humans first.
• They link out to the customers other blog and landing pages whenever it relates to the content they are writing.
• They make sure everything they write is in line with each clients brand and tailored toward their target audience.
