FREELANCE INVESTMENT WRITERS WANTED
SmallCapInvestor.com, a new and rapidly growing financial website, is
seeking freelance writers to write 800-word “spotlight” profiles of
publicly traded companies with market capitalizations under $700 million. The purpose of our small-cap spotlights is to tell a story about companies
that individual investors will find interesting and useful.
We don’t want to write about a company just because it had a great quarter
(or a disastrous one). A notable quarter might be the reason we discover a
company and decide to investigate it, but that is not the “story.” Our
story is the reason that the company reported great (or lousy) financial
results, where they came from and where they’re going.
Experienced business journalists only, please. You must be familiar with
company financials, and the information that can be gleaned from them.
To view archives of our company profiles go to www.smallcapinvestor.com and
click “Small Cap Spotlight” under the “Investing Strategies” tab.
Send letter and writing samples.
Compensation: Open
