Want to earn by writing amazing articles on legal industry and law as a career? Here is an opportunity.
LawSikho.com is looking for content writers. We mostly expect lawyers with amazing insights to be able to do the kind of work we have on mind, but in the past even some non-lawyers, though rarely, have done a good job. So we are open to professional content writers. But admittedly, our budget is small and standards are high, so tread with caution 🙂
We do not mind law students doing this, but the standard expected is very, very high, and we do not have too much time to train. So consider that before applying. If you are a student and really want to do this, maybe apply for a month-long internship first, where we can give you some training before you actually begin to do this work as a freelancer.
This will be especially suitable for lawyers with a few years of experience, who may need a side income, or taking a break from work for any reason whatsoever, or if you have a genuine interest in content marketing. While writing articles you can check spelling
