We are seeking experienced Digital Content Editors for our content sites. Experience with crafting or cooking is a plus but not required. Our content is in the areas of crafting (general, knitting, crochet, quilting, sewing, jewelry), recipes (desserts, general recipes, healthy recipes), and related niche content targeted primarily to women. We are a fast-growing company creating quality content and engaging consumers.

While we have a comprehensive training program, we prefer candidates with at least 2-5+ years of online or related editorial work experience.

– Public Relations/Blogger Outreach – We engage in an active series of campaigns, and our training covers sources of publicity, locating and engaging bloggers, writing press releases and blog posts, adding new projects/recipes, and tracking results.
– eBook creation – We offer our consumers free, downloadable PDF format books, typically 25-150 pages, and often themed around holidays. Our editorial teams research, create, publish, and promote these eBooks.

Digital Content Editors will work on our three primary sources of generating website traffic – newsletters, site content, and community:
