About us
Commodity.com is your trusted source to make sense of commodities & commodity trading, cryptocurrencies & related investments.
Over the last decade working remotely, we’ve developed unique processes, systems and ways of working that help us get things done (both on time and of the quality we expect of ourselves).
We use a few popular tools you may have used before:-
- Slack, for teamwork & day-to-day chat
- Google Docs/Google Sheets for collaborative documents
- WordPress to power many of our sites
We don’t micro-manage; you will be expected to meet deadlines without exception, and without us hassling you.
When we commission projects, we’ll provide a writing brief, plus due dates and required minimum length.
Pay & Workload
We pay well/fast, and presently have as much work as you can handle.
Rates vary in line with your commitment. Writers get paid monthly in US dollars (by wire transfer).
We are looking for writers available for a minimum of 15 hours/week.
There are no set hours, and you can work when you choose in any time zone and in any location – provided you meet deadlines. Did we mention how important delivering to deadline is…?
