Why The SEO E-commerce Expert Content Ghostwriter Role Matters for The Blogsmith
The Blogsmith helps B2B technology companies build relationships with their target audience via search. The writer helps to find the balance between incorporating SEO requirements while ultimately focusing on the needs of the human reader over search spiders. After all, it’s the human reader who will ultimately help us achieve conversion-related business goals.
While the clients vary and the content formats change, we always set out to create genuinely helpful content that resonates with the readers and represents our clients perfectly.
Here’s the bottom line:
We don’t just want to create content for content’s sake — we explore topics with a unique stance so that we’re providing a unique benefit (compared to similar content) for anyone who reads the work we produce.
Technical Skill Requirements
- Expertise in writing about technical topics is required. Experience with IT, basic coding, API, cybersecurity, or software development is necessary. In-depth WordPress experience is also desirable.
- An understanding of SEO is required. This will help you understand our clients and writing process. We can teach any knowledge gaps.
- Experience with creating content for the web. Digital content requires an understanding of readability, scannability, visual art direction, and SEO. It will be hard to be successful in this role if you’ve never created digital content, even if you have some writing experience.
- Skill with adding art direction to your content. You’ll work with designers to source and create imagery that supplements your articles.
- Experience writing for a publication that’s not your own, with the ability to follow a writing style guide, content brief, editorial process, or an SEO writing checklist.

We use a number of tools as part of our workflow process and expect you’ll get up to speed as part of working with us. - Ability to conduct in-depth research on topics that you may not be familiar with and synthesize unique, compelling content.
- Skills interviewing sources. You may be asked to reach out to expert sources and should feel comfortable asking them questions.
- Ability to become a brand chameleon to meet client requirements. You’ll work with many clients and need to be committed to nailing each one’s brand voice and comfortable switching between them.
Soft Skill + Availability Requirements
- Willingness to learn and take feedback gracefully: It will take time for you to adapt to our style and processes. We will patiently guide you through to success, but you must be willing to spend the time and effort to get there.
- Good communication skills: You’ll be working with fellow team members to accomplish tasks related to producing great content. We appreciate overcommunication when it comes to content delivery, client questions, etc. – our workflow depends on it.
- Respectful: You’ll be expected to treat everyone you interact with as an extension of The Blogsmith with respect.
- Following directions: Successful writers are happy to approach our topics methodically, following instructions carefully.
- Ability to work on a deadline: The article creation process involves many interconnected, dependent steps that have to happen on deadline for the sake of our clients. Timely responsiveness during the workweek is necessary to work on this team so that we can address edits when relevant. We have high expectations, and any failure to meet them in terms of things like communication issues or missing deadlines will result in fewer assignments or contract termination.
- Problem-solving skills: When there’s an issue, Blogsmith teammates use their resources and each other to get it solved before it becomes a true problem. You’ll have access to our intranet in Notion, which contains answers to most questions.
- Storytelling skills: You’re able to breathe life into seemingly dull content by finding angles and creating a narrative people are interested in.
- Organization/planning skills: Successful writers on our team don’t wait until the day a project is due to get their questions answered or address any issues with the brief. We assign most projects a week before they’re due to give plenty of notice for planning and the opportunity to make adjustments to the workload according to your availability.
- Write “Hi Maddy” (in addition to any questions or comments you have) at the end of the application form so that I know you’re paying attention to detail, which is important for being a part of this team.
A passion for writing: In order to create great content, you have to take an interest in the process. Please do not apply unless you enjoy the process of writing because it will show across the various topics and clients we have assignments for. - Journalistic curiosity: You should have the desire to create content that’s truly unique and digs deeper than the surface level.
