Opportunity at Laugh Out Loud Ventures

Make people laugh: Write for Laugh Out Loud

  

Who are you?

Laugh Out Loud Ventures is an Indian humour brand. We create funny pictures and text for ourselves (mostly) and other people (whenever we can fool them into hiring us, so as to keep the wolf from the door).

Join us to work in a fun startup alongside driven, dynamic people (that would be us :P) in the most fun industry imaginable.

The links below will take you to some of our work.

Why are you on the blog?

We are recruiting freelance writers, starting immediately.

What will I need to be good at?

Writing either long funny articles or short jokes. You will need to be creative (we often get away with our poor writing by making up a nice format to clothe it in). Also, passion for writing is something we’re looking for.

You won’t need to be the best writer in the world; we aren't anywhere close either :) We will not disqualify anyone on basis of age (people in all years can apply) or course.

How much will I get? Wait, will I get at all?

You will get a percentage on all the client writing that you do. This should come to approximately Rs. 3,000 – 5,000 per month, though it could be substantially higher depending on how nice our clients are to us J

Why should I be interested in this?

First, the work is interesting. You get to pick what you write about, and brainstorm about the funniest way to write about it.

Second, we are a small team now, and are looking for full time members as we grow. If you like working with us, and we like working with you, you will have a permanent job anytime you want (at least till we go bankrupt).

Third, we will create things of beauty that we will be proud of.

Fourth, the hours are flexible, and you can work from home, just like all those local train ads (earn from home even if you are 10^th fail).

Finally, it's a humour brand. Who wouldn't want to work for a humour brand?

It's like a chocolate factory.

I want to apply. What do I do?
