A call for “passionate” bloggers
Care2, Inc. recently put out a very, shall we say, peculiar ad. The company is looking for what it calls “passionate” bloggers to write for millions of “passionate” readers with their blogs. With such a frequent use of the word “passionate” I was beginning to think it may be included in the blog or company’s name in some way. But it just looks like the people at Care2 are just really, erm, passionate about finding the right people.
Care2 says it is the largest and most trusted online community that empowers people to get into a healthier lifestyle and also being more cause-oriented. The bloggers Care2 is looking for will write for the following categories:
* Animal Welfare
* Civil Rights
* Environment & Wildlife
* Global Warming
* Health Policy
* Human Rights
* Politics
* Women’s Rights
The applicants should be knowledgeable, insightful, and passionate (there it is again!) about the said categories. They should have impeccable writing skills and be familiar with WordPress and other content management tools. There is a 300 word minimum for each published content. compensation is on a per post basis with bonuses for high traffic and comment posts.
A very nice benefit for Care2 bloggers is that they will be allowed to repost what they’ve written on their personal blogs 30 days after publication. There should be a link to the original post though and the proper attributions must be done.
Via RSS Feed
I wrote for Care2 late in ‘08. The site is nice and many wonderful people use it’s social media functions. Sadly, the company never paid me for the writing I did for them.

Although I am not a journalism or political science major, I am extremely interested in applying for this position. I have been scourging the net for days trying to locate a blogging job that would not require me to write about superficial topics or the promotion of products I don’t believe in. I am currently an unemployed blogger who is blogging about important issues for no money. Blogging, for me, is more of a fun way to share ideas. As I am currently a senior economics student, I will be looking for work very soon. If you are interested in viewing some of my work, feel free to visit my blog at http://seek2ruth.blogspot.com. I dedicated that blog as my pet project dedicated to the search for knowledge and the progression of mankind. Working for Care2 would be a dream job. I have never written an application for a blogging job as none have interested me until now. Where would I apply for a position at Care2?.

Care2 is very unorganized in their hiring process. They hired me last year, but couldn’t reveal payrate or send paperwork and seemed to have problems keeping their own staff up to date on who was hired when.
I’m not saying they’re a bad place to work for…but just warning anyone interested that they may end up very frustrated.

Dear Care2 Inc,
The opportunity to add my passion to paper would be a dream. I can combine two of my favorite things, writing and voicing my passion for issues.
How do you apply?
Sincere Thanks,
