We’re Hiring

The Thrifty Minnesota Team is looking to expand! It takes a lot of effort to keep bringing all the events, deals and local info to everyone who has come to rely on them and we need someone else to help. Is that person you?

The right person will be a self-starter, able to take on responsibility and learn quickly. The main tasks will be to seek out and create new content about upcoming Minnesota events, update previous posts with new information for the current year, scout out and share local deals and take on new projects as they come about. 

Don’t worry – you don’t have to find everything yourself! I’ll help you get started to learn how to find things and also give you direction and lots of new ideas as you work. I feel it’s my job to support you while you’re helping to support Thrifty Minnesota as a whole. 

These are the primary qualifications:

• interested in local deals and events for the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota area
• self-motivated
• be a “fact checker,” making sure posts are accurate and up-to-date
• willing to find material to write about as well as take direction to cover assigned events/deals
• detail-oriented
• solid grammar and writing skills
• knowledge of WordPress helpful (if not – the ability to pick up new software quickly is a must)
• knowledge of affiliate marketing helpful
• former teachers strongly encouraged to apply!

What’s in it for you:

Besides earning money, you also..

• have a flexible schedule setting your own hours so you can work any time of day or night
• will receive hands on on-the-job training via Zoom, recorded videos, email and/or (if you like and depending on location) in person
• have the opportunity to be creative and share your ideas
• play an important part in helping other Minnesota families find great deals and fun things to do
• have occasional opportunities to attend events or try new products 

If you’re interested in applying or have questions about the position before applying, send me an email. It may be a day or two before I’m able to respond.

If applying, please include this info in your message:

• your name
• email address
• your city
• previous writing experience, qualifications from the list above, or other related skills or experience
• why you would like to write for Thrifty Minnesota
• how many hours per week you are available
• optional: attach a resume

And if you’re interested in contributing, but not on an ongoing basis, we’re always open to have you sharing a post on a specific topic or just email over good deals you find or ideas you have!
