Do You Want To Work With Yaro?

We’re always on the look out for talented, creative A-players to join the YB team so we can help more people break free from a job they despise and enjoy the freedom of living the laptop lifestyle.

What We Do

Every day we help thousands of people around the world – experts, authors, speakers, teachers, trainers, enthusiasts and coaches – to package up their knowledge into digital products and sell them online through the power of blogging and email marketing.

Through Yaro.blog, Blog Mastermind 2.0 and the Laptop Lifestyle Academy, our days are spent inspiring (and being inspired by!) like-minded people who know there is a better way to live and earn a living than battling the usual 9-5 grind or the 12-hour a day startup lifestyle.

About Yaro

Yaro Starak is the author of the Blog Profits Blueprint, founder of Yaro.blog leader of the Blog Mastermind 2.0 course and head coach in the Laptop Lifestyle Academy. He began blogging in 2005 initially as a hobby, but transformed it into a training business when his income from blogging surpassed $10,000 a month.

Since then Yaro has mentored thousands of people on how to turn their expertise into a profitable online business. Today Yaro helps people set up their own “Blog Sales Funnel,” a system that combines blogging with email marketing to build a platform to sell their own digital products.

Yaro has a proven track record of results, with his “graduate bloggers” going on to make thousands of dollars – some even millions – in such diverse niches as book design, ADHD, speed reading, acne treatment, BMX bikes, skiing, cars, sports, real estate, tv production and fat loss.

Yaro’s success has been recognized globally and featured on the Sky News Business Show, Forbes, Problogger and Entrepreneur Magazine, just to name a few. He was also ranked #18 on Business Insider’s Top 100 Podcasts that will make you smarter and more successful.

Why Join Our Team

Work From Wherever, Whenever

Yaro.blog (or YB) team members are free to work in their pyjamas at home, or from a hammock on a tropical island. Provided there is reliable internet and you have a good computer, you can work wherever you want and at whatever time you like throughout the day. As long as the job is done well and timeframes are respected, you have the freedom to create a schedule that gives you a perfect work-life balance.

Get Paid To Learn

When you work with YB, you are being paid to get an education in entrepreneurship. You will work with one of the internet’s most successful and longest standing online entrepreneurs and a team of talented and dynamic individuals in a fast growing and rapidly changing business. Once you’ve become a permanent and ongoing part of the team, you will also have access to Yaro’s highly sought after training courses and eBooks.

Endless Opportunities

We’re constantly coming up with new ideas and projects so we can provide a better service to our members and drive our business forward. Because of this, we’re often hiring new team members and our roles are constantly evolving. When you work with YB you will be challenged to expand your skills all the time and once you have proven yourself capable, there are plenty of ways you can move up and around within the company.

Freedom To Work Your Way

At YB we hire grownups so we don’t micro-manage or play the role of the helicopter parent. You will be expected to get your job done right and done well, and we’ll leave you to get on with it in whatever way you know works for you. If you respect our way of doing things, we’ll respect yours. Creativity and innovation are rewarded so we love it when people take the initiative to come up with exciting new ways to improve and enhance our business.

Successful applicant

What We’re Looking For

YB team members and customers hail from all over the world so it is imperative you are culturally aware, a strong communicator (especially via email/chat and phone) and have exceptional English.

Yaro’s top values are reliability, great communication, attention to detail, initiative and the ability to be creative with minimal direction. You should also be able to self-motivate and work productively alone.

The YB team needs professional, A-players who are not just passionate about our business but their role within it. We’re looking for innovative and proactive people who want to be part of our journey for a long time.

Successful applicant

What We’re NOT Looking For

Team YB is definitely not for people looking for a short-term gig or seeking free training or mentoring with Yaro. These jobs are not for someone who can’t commit, communicate well and create independently.

The Recruitment Process

Step 1
To apply for a position, click on the link below the job description and follow the prompts to complete the questionnaire. Due to the high number of applications we receive, we can only respond to candidates who are invited through to the next stage.

Step 2
If you are shortlisted you will be asked to complete a second questionnaire or practical interview with tasks designed to assess your skill. This gives you and our team a chance to see if we work well together
Step 3
If we think you might be a good fit for the role, you will be invited for a Skype interview with Yaro or a member of the YB team. We will then check your references with the two referees you listed on your job application.
Step 4
We will make an offer to the successful applicant to work with us for a one month trial period. If it all goes well, you will be made a permanent member of the YB team.
Please note, response times vary depending on the role and how quickly we need it filled. Applications have no deadline and remain open until we find the right person for the job.

What Else You Need To Know

The YB team is made up of self-employed contractors who communicate with Yaro and other team members via Asana for project management and Slack for general chat.

Minimum tech requirements for your remote office are a good internet connection, a reliable computer and a smartphone which can support several new apps.

Unless specified otherwise, we are open to applicants from any country assuming you have reliable internet access and an excellent command of the English language.

All contractors are responsible for recording their hours, invoicing for their time and ensuring they are compliant with the laws and tax regulations in their home country.

Most YB jobs start out as part-time but have the potential to go full time if you prove yourself to be a true A-player. All positions have a 1 to 3 month trial period during which time your output will be evaluated against your effort.

We take applications from any interested job seekers year round so that we have a database to draw on when we need to fill a position. If you would like to work with us but don’t see a job that matches your skills and experience, register your general interest here.
