Get Your Paws on This Work-From-Home Staff Writer Job With Wide Open Pets
Have you ever clicked on a video of a teacup pig in a tutu, then the next thing you know, it’s two hours later and you’ve been lost in animal videos?
Or do you constantly browse pet-adoption websites, even though you already have six dogs and a rabbit? Or do you have pet chickens all named after celebrities (Cluck Norris, Sir-Clucks-a-Lot, Heidi Plume)?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it’s safe to say you’re an animal lover.
And if you didn’t answer yes but still have a passion for pets and have solid writing skills, then we’ve got a work-from-home job for you.
Wide Open Pets is an online community for pet lovers and pet owners alike, and it’s looking for a remote staff writer. If you joined the team, you’d be writing about animals of all varieties, not just cats and dogs.
And if writing about animals doesn’t sound like your thing, no worries. You can check out our Jobs page on Facebook; we’re always posting new work-from-home opportunities.
