Are you passionate about investing, finance, and business? Do you have a knack for turning complex topics into engaging, accessible content? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

Motley Fool Australia is seeking talented freelance writers to contribute regular articles to our website. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to supplement their income or explore a side hustle while sharing their insights with a wide audience.
This role is flexible and 100% remote. However, candidates MUST reside in Australia to be considered. 

NOTE: We’re always keeping our eyes open for strong writers to join our Foolish Fold. As this is an ongoing job posting, please be patient with our response times! We review candidates once per month and will get every applicant an answer one way or another. 

Who are we?

We are The Motley Fool, a purpose-driven financial information and services firm with nearly 30 years of experience focused on making the world smarter, happier, and richer. But what does that even mean?! It means we’re helping Fools (always with a capital “F”) demystify the world of finance, beat the stock market, and achieve personal wealth and happiness through our products and services.

The Motley Fool is firmly committed to diversity, inclusion, and equity. We are a motley group of overachievers that have built a culture of trust founded on Foolishness, fun, and a commitment to making the world smarter, happier and richer.  However you identify or whatever winding road has led you to us, please don't hesitate to apply if the description above leaves you thinking, "Hey! I could do that!"

Though The Motley Fool is US-based, we have a thriving Global unit that serves countries around the world. This contractor would be supporting our team in Australia. 


What We’re Looking For:

  • Writers with a strong understanding of investing, finance, or business topics.
  • The ability to craft clear, concise, and engaging articles that resonate with our readers.
  • A commitment to delivering high-quality, accurate, and timely content.

What You’ll Do:

  • Write several articles per week or month on topics related to investing, personal finance, and the stock market. We'll work together to determine what number of articles makes the most sense for you and your situation, so don't let that put you off applying!
  • Research trends and developments in the financial world to keep our readers informed and empowered.
  • Bring your unique perspective and voice to every piece you write.

Why Join Us?

  • Flexibility: Work from anywhere (within Australia), on your schedule.
  • Exposure: Your work will be featured on a respected platform in the financial industry.
  • Collaboration: Join a dynamic editorial team passionate about educating and empowering readers.

This Role is Perfect For:

  • Freelancers/contract writers seeking to supplement their income and build exposure.
  • Professionals or students with expertise in finance, business, or investing.
  • Investing enthusiasts who want to share their knowledge while honing their writing skills.

How to Apply:

What We Do

The Motley Fool’s purpose is to make the world smarter, happier, and richer.

While other companies may make you smarter, happier, or richer, we aim to do all three by providing outstanding business and investing advice — with a decidedly Foolish bent.

Our name is in homage to the one character in Shakespearean literature — the court jester — who could speak the truth to the king and queen without having his or her head lopped off. The Fools of yore entertained the court with humor that instructed as it amused. More importantly, the Fool was never afraid to question conventional wisdom.

We believe in treating every dollar as an investment in the future you want to create. We believe that investing in great businesses, for the long term, is the most effective path to wealth. We believe in the power of a community to learn and grow together. We believe in keeping score and being transparent in our investment performance. We strive to fulfill our purpose by truly serving every Fool, from our employees to our members to our community.

We provide a variety of solutions to improve many areas of your financial life, including your investment portfolio, personal finances, real estate holdings, company, and career.

The Motley Fool is headquartered in Alexandria, Va., with offices in Denver and Sydney, Australia, and serves investors and businesses in the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore, and Germany.
