Talk About Birds, Get Paid — Featured Contributor (Voice, No Writing)

About the Role We run a popular backyard birding website with a big, engaged audience. Our content covers the things backyard birders actually care about: attracting favorite species, feeders and feed, birdhouses, bird-friendly gardens, and identification guides. We already have the content and the traffic. What we're missing is personality, and that's the job. To be clear up front, this is not a writing, photography, or ornithology job. You won't research articles or draft anything. You don't even have to type. We've built an in-house tool where you hit a button and start talking. We handle the transcription, cleanup, and editing, then turn it into a polished article published under your name. No typing, no punctuation, no writer's block. If you can chat about the birds at your feeder, you can do this job. Here's how it works. We hand you an existing article, say "15 Ways to Attract Cardinals to Your Yard," and you go down the list talking through each one: what's worked for you, what you'd try first, a quick tip, what you've seen in your own backyard. Our editorial team polishes it, and you become the featured author on the post. What You'll Do Record your take on existing articles. Most are list-style with 15 to 25 items. You give your honest take on each one, warm and conversational, no script. Just hit record and talk. Figure about 30 to 60 minutes per article, depending on the length of the list and how quickly you find your groove. Cover the range of backyard birding — feeding, species, houses and habitat, seasonal topics. You don't need to be an expert on everything, just genuinely into it. Become the featured author on the posts you work on. The Commitment We need someone who can consistently turn around at least 10 articles per week. That's the baseline — and honestly, we'd love to find someone who can do 15 to 20, because we have a decent backlog to work through. When you do them is up to you: batch them all at once, spread them across the week, mornings or nights, whatever fits your life. We don't micromanage. But we do need someone dependable who hits that number every week and manages their own schedule without reminders. Who We're Looking For The gift of gab. This is the big one. Hand you a list of 20 feeder setups and you can riff on each one, share what you've noticed in your own yard, and keep it warm without a script. A genuine love of birds and backyard wildlife. You don't need a biology degree — a few feeders, a favorite field guide, and opinions about squirrels are the right qualifications. Self-directed and reliable. You can hit 10+ articles a week on your own steam. Bonus, not required: a growing social presence. If you're building a birding Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube, we'd love to cross-promote. Your name goes on the content, and we'll feature you on our site's about page with a link to your socials. One important note: everything you record is checked for AI. The entire point of this role is bringing a real human voice to our content, so we need your genuine, off-the-cuff take — not something scripted or generated. If you can just talk, you're already doing it right. What's In It For You The easiest content gig you'll find. No writing required. Hit a button, talk about birds, and we do the rest. $13 per completed article. A real platform. We drive serious traffic, so being featured puts your name in front of a large, engaged audience of bird lovers. A byline, a spot on our about page, and cross-promotion to help grow your own following. Ongoing, long-term, friendly team. Details $13 per completed article Minimum 10 articles per week (15–20 preferred — we have a backlog) Fully remote, flexible hours, ongoing To Apply Skip the cover letter. Instead, shoot a quick video of yourself — laptop or phone is fine, nothing fancy. Tell us who you are and why you'd be good at this, then spend 30 to 60 seconds riffing on any backyard birding topic you'd enjoy: your favorite feeder visitors, how you finally got orioles to show up, the hummingbird setup you swear by. That's basically the job, so it tells us everything. If you make any content — birding or otherwise — drop a link. Just starting out is fine too.
