Writer

In a world where niches are being taken up each day, we believe there's still a need to fill in the football memorabilia space. So, we have created Hobby FC with the aim of being the single, definitive place for collectors from all over the world. To learn, collect and build a community of fans with a shared love of football nostalgia.

To achieve this goal, we are on the hunt to pool together a team of writers to expand our users' knowledge and understanding of this space. That means that there are plenty of spaces up for grabs!

What will I write about?

This space is growing by the day, and there's no real limit to what we can and can't write about - so long as it's personable and useful to who's going to be reading it. We want Hobby FC to be a hub for all types of fans - from the very experienced to the complete novice. Some popular topics include: Trading Cards, Football Shirts, Match Programmes, Nostalgic Games, Travel Guides and much more!

And now for the boring stuff...

Responsibilities:

Writing articles for the Hobby FC website (no minimum requirement).
Ensuring that all articles are SEO-friendly using Google's best Search practises.
Research new and ongoing trends in the football memorabilia landscape.
Publicise your own work and that of Hobby FC via social media.
Ad-hoc involvement on an upcoming show (long-term vision) if interested.

Requirements:

Honestly, nothing.
Just a love of football memorabilia and a desire to share it with the world.
Knowledge of article writing and SEO practises are a huge plus.

What will I get in return?

The reason there is no minimum requirement to produce a set number of articles per week (as an example), is because this is a voluntary / unpaid position. Hobby FC is a brand new idea and will take time to make any real, discernible revenue. All improvements are bankrolled by the founder, who is happy to provide a reference for any future roles for writers, and will also share in any revenue made from ads or affiliates if and when that happens.

With this in mind, this role would best suit either: a) a working professional with a stable income in another area, who can write on the side, or b) a budding writer looking for experience in the industry to build their portfolio.
