Our Approach to Content Marketing

This is what makes us different.

We are excellent at content marketing. And it comes down to two key factors: systems and data.

Systems allow us to easily execute the tactical work so that we can focus our time and effort on the strategic. As these simply documented processes can be followed by almost anyone, they allow us to scales our results across multiple different campaigns with ease.

Data enables us to make important decisions about what content should be published. Our data-based mindset allowed us to reverse engineer all of our competitor’s most popular content, and take their search traffic from them.

When we combine these two factors, we’re able to execute the right decisions to grow our web traffic, fast.

The key to successful marketing is to focus on something that works, and get really good at it. That’s why we constantly evolve our processes and focus our attention where it matters most.

Our Core Values

Our Core Values drive our team culture, processes, and output. These values set the tone for customer expectations in us and set team expectations for each other. These values enable us to have a highly productive, creative, and cohesive team of winning A-Players.

Core values are not what team members are expected to bring to work, but rather how they’re expected to approach their lives. You can’t fake a core value, and because they’re so important to us, we’ve only included the ones that we feel are truly essential to the success of the team’s goals.

Play to Win

Life and business is a game and we’re playing to win. We take massive action and operate with a lean, fast, and flexible team. We achieve seemingly-impossible goals by starting with the end in mind, choosing an opponent to beat, and setting milestones to reach along the way.

We take pride and celebrate both our successes and our failures because we are not afraid of losing. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.

Deliver Massive Value

You can’t expect to win until you first deserve it. We have become the go-to resource for photographers by providing a level of education and service that is unparalleled by our competition. And we continually strive to outdo ourselves in any way we can.

Creative Problem Solvers

Happiness comes from solving problems. True happiness occurs only when you find the problems you enjoy having and enjoy solving. As a team of highly intelligent A-Players, we work together to solve interesting problems and communicate in a way that’s clear for everyone in our international team to understand.

Take Ownership of Goals

As you take ownership and move towards your goals, you will encounter problems. Some of those problems will bring you up against your own weaknesses. If you want to reach your goals, you must be calm and analytical so that you can accurately diagnose your problems, design a plan that will get you around them, and do what’s necessary to push through to results.

To evolve quickly, you will have to do this fast and continuously, setting your goals successively higher.

Work Collaboratively

You are not in this alone. Ask team members for help in achieving your goals, and be open to them when they ask for your help. Make time and space for each other. Document your work internally so that every member of the team can easily find and understand it.

Lifelong Learning

Your income will rarely exceed your level of personal development. Take it upon yourself to constantly be learning. Whether that’s something that will help you to perform better at work, build better relationships, be more healthy, more spiritual, whatever it is… make sure you never stop learning. And read as much as you can get your hands on.

Our Offer

You’ll work with a great team to achieve clearly defined quarterly goals and help us stay on track with our business.

Starting payment: 800-2200 USD for full-time (based on experience with value-based raises later on).

For full-time and part-time positions, please let us know about your gross salary requirements.

We run on a meritocracy: the more value you provide, the more we will be able to reward you. There is no top limit to what you can earn over time.

On top of a competitive and negotiable salary, we also offer:

• The flexibility to decide how many hours you’d like to work per week (anything form 20-40 hours/week works for us)
• A long-term career opportunity
• Access to any training/development program you feel would help you with your life or career
• A fantastic team with highly talented individuals
• Support in reaching personal goals
• 100% remote time

Apply Now

As you’ve probably noticed by now, this is not like the average career listing… because we’re not looking for an average person.

We’ve done our best to both attract the best person for the role, and repel anyone who is not right for it (like any good marketing message should).

The ball is now in your court.

Below, you’ll find a form that’s been specifically designed for this role (please choose the right one from the list), and fill it in, in detail.

We will shortly followup with a series of responses including a first review, testing, and phone interview.

An A-Player will breeze through the application process, whereas a B-Player will not.

One final message before we finish: If you don’t have a strong interest in learning and personal development, you will, unfortunately, find that you’ll be left behind by the growth of the rest of the team. We ask that you please do not apply for this role.
