Want to join the SCK Team?
I’m looking for a kawaii fan to help me out over the summer with some admin tasks. Depending on your skills, this could include things like checking pages for dead links, collecting and researching information for new pages, editing photos and updating social media.
Who we’re looking for
It would suit someone interested in working in a web-based or kawaii-related career, or who is already a blogger, vlogger, maker or shop owner. You will have the opportunity to ask me questions, get advice/mentoring on your plans and work together on tasks that help grow specific skills you wish to learn.
Job information
This is an unpaid temporary position but with bonuses for successful completion of tasks. You will also have the opportunity to write occasional blog posts, reviews and/or event recaps, which will be paid per post. There is also the possibility of joining the paid SCK staff if you prove indispensable. Any payments/bonuses are on a freelance basis and you will be responsible for complying with the self-employment and tax laws of your country.
You would need to be available around June-September but tasks can be completed at your own pace around your own schedule with few deadlines, if any. Some weeks there may be no tasks required and you can also request extra tasks if you have extra time.
Requirements
- You must be over 18
- You can live anywhere in the world but should be fluent in English and able to write clearly and simply.
- You should be reliable with a strong attention to detail and be good at reading instructions carefully, spotting mistakes and searching for information.
- You should be able to accept feedback and criticism of your work and be willing to learn from mistakes, make changes to meet the SCK house style and/or have your work edited.
- No other specific skills are required but any of the following would be a bonus: blogging, image editing, video creation, SEO, spreadsheets, WordPress, Google Analytics, Tumblr, Pinterest, Facebook.
Mentoring
These are some of the things I can mentor you on (will be tailored to your plans):
blogging/WordPress, web design, Etsy/Shopify, selling on-demand (Redbubble, Society6 etc.), monetising a blog, SEO, product design/manufacturing, social media promotion, Mailchimp / email newsletters, self-employment/freelancing, photography.
Mentoring can consist of answering specific questions, providing general advice and/or helping you with a specific task – e.g. improving your blog or Etsy shop.
