Job: Copywriting & Bloggers for Japanese tech blog

Uncategorized Comments Off on Job: Copywriting & Bloggers for Japanese tech blog

Want to write for a Japanese electronics/gadgets retailer? Read on for some freelancing opportunities:

We at CScout Japan are currently looking to recruit some new copywriters for one of our clients, an online retailer based in Japan. This is a great opportunity to hone your copywriting skills editing content in several areas.

Job 1
Japan Trend Shop sells select Japanese gadgets, cool designer accessories, wacky toys and more to customers all around the world. Your job would be to write copy that accurately describes products in an exciting way. Sometimes these products might be hard to understand for non-Japanese audiences, so part of your job would be using words to traverse those cultural gaps. You would also be preparing images and video links to accompany the text.

Job 2
As above you would be writing copy for products, but this time for Kanojo Toys, a specialist adult online store. We are also looking for people who can write for the shop’s blog, in which you will report on the seedy Tokyo underworld, covering unique stories, idol news, and JAV gossip.

Who
We want you if you are based in Japan (preferably Tokyo) and are enthusiastic about Japanese products. You may be a geek, a design fan or just adore hi-tech gadgets. Whatever you are into, you will love writing about it. You are a web-savvy person who likes blogging and image editing. As you will be researching in Japanese, your language skills should also be good.

Requirements
You need to have a valid working visa and be based in Tokyo (or least Japan). Equally important, though, is having a good ear (and eye) for how to sell cool Japanese stuff to an overseas market.

Payment
You’re not going to get rich, but payment will be per piece. Strong experience and skills will be rewarded with higher reimbursement. Further, there may be opportunities to expand into working with us in other projects from research to marketing.

Apply
Please email your information to contact (at) cscoutjapan.com, with “Copywriter application” in the subject line. We look forward to hearing from you!
