Website Content and Blogger Manager
We’re growing (again) and are now seeking an experienced content and blogger manager for Wanderlust and Lipstick.
This is not a writing or editing position (though those skills will come in handy). This is a position that will help strategically bring the website to the next level, as they say.
Position requires experience with and knowledge of creating content that will help drive traffic and utilizes SEO strategies for the WaL site as well as some other smaller travel-related sites.
Looking for someone who wants to be part of the WaL team and feels that promoting the idea of travel to women is important.
A positive attitude and an adventurous, can-do spirit are a must!
Position is approximately 10 – 15 hours/week to start. Salary depends upon experience.
Responsibilities
* Overseeing the WanderBlogger community – answering questions and overseeing the appropriateness of content, ensuring posts are properly tagged for SEO, etc. (NO editing.)
* Helping guide the direction of the website to best meet the interests of our readers. Includes content on the main site as well as on the blogs.
* Helping guide and oversee content for several other small travel sites.
* Keeping track of relationships between PR firms/DMO’s/product manufacturers and bloggers (ensuring that bloggers are delivering on promised coverage)
* Checking and responding to Beth’s emails when she is traveling
Experience
* Previous experience overseeing content development of a travel site
* Must have a firm understanding of Google analytics and SEO
Expectations
* Must be based in North America, not traveling more than 20% of the time and available to work daytime hours (i.e. this is not a moonlighting position to supplement your full time job)
* Available to check email at least twice/daily and responding to bloggers in a timely manner
* Working collaboratively with Beth on content and direction of site(s) including SEO
* Minimum 10 hours/week and maximum 15 hours/week to start

Travel Well,
Hi Beth, hope you are well.
I would like to apply as the liaison for Africa. I have extensive knowledge of Southern and Central Africa, having travelled it widely. I am also on my way to Mocambique in the near future once more. I am also the marketing director of a hotel amenities group, so I am in constant contact with the tourism industry. Whether this meets yout requirements only you will know.
Take care and I am glad to see that your blog has really taken off from the days I first saw it on stumbleupon.
Regards
Chris
Are you only hiring women? 🙂
That would be illegal. Definitely open to women and men 🙂
Is the Client Liason/Sales job virtual? Thank you…
A Seattle-based person is preferable but technically it is virtual, Kay.
I love your site! I am based in Washington and would love to get updates when you are looking for additional employees. Is there a way to sign up for notifications?
You can sign up for the newsletter, RSS feed and friend me on facebook. All places where I make general announcements 🙂
