Skilled Part-Time Writer Wanted – Travel & Lifestyle Content (AI-Checked Role)

I run an SEO business that helps clients rank higher through genuinely useful, well-written content. I'm looking for a talented part-time copywriter to join my team, working 4 hours per day, with the potential for more hours as the business grows.

To start, you'll be writing content for clients in the TRAVEL industry - destination guides, travel tips and related articles. Over time the work will expand into other topics such as health and food, so versatility matters.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING:
This role is for writers only. All submitted work is checked with AI detection software and reviewed by me personally, and all writing must be done in Google Docs with editing history visible. AI tools may be used for research, outlines and idea generation, but the writing itself must be your own. Submitting AI-generated or AI-rewritten text as your own work will end the contract immediately. If that's not for you, please don't apply - but if you're a genuine writer, this policy works in your favour: your skills are exactly what I'm paying for, and they can't be undercut by someone pasting from a chatbot.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:

• Fluent English with excellent grammar and a natural, reader-friendly style.
• Proven experience writing articles (blogs, guides, promotional pieces). Include 2-3 samples with your application - links or files are fine.
• Willingness to write in Google Docs with full version history for every piece (non-negotiable).
• Some familiarity with SEO (keywords, headings, structure) is a bonus but not required - I'll guide you.
• An interest in travel is a plus!

WHAT YOU'LL WRITE:

• Articles for travel industry clients to begin with: destination content, guides and blog posts. You'll adapt tone and style to each client's audience.
• Other topics (health, food, lifestyle) as the role grows.

HOURS, PAY & GROWTH:

• 4 hours per day to start. Flexible schedule, but consistent availability is key.
• $400/month, with reviews as hours increase.
• The first month is a paid trial period.

HOW I HIRE:
Shortlisted applicants will be asked to complete a short, timed writing exercise (roughly two hundred words) during a video call or screen share. This is quick and nothing to worry about if you write your own material - it simply lets me see your natural writing voice.

HOW TO APPLY:
To confirm you've read this full description, begin your application with the word "Lighthouse". Then tell me:

1. A bit about your writing experience.
2. Your favourite place you've travelled to (or would love to visit) and why - in 2-3 sentences, written by you.
3. Attach or link 2-3 writing samples.

Applications missing "Lighthouse", the travel answer or samples won't be considered.

WHY JOIN?
This is a stable, long-term role with a supportive employer who values real writing skill. You'll build a portfolio across travel and lifestyle topics, learn SEO writing properly, and grow with the business. If you're reliable, creative and take pride in your own words, I'd love to hear from you.
