AI Content & WordPress Assistant – 10h Trial @ max $3/h

### PROJECT OVERVIEW
We manage a German-language website about US stocks for German investors (hosted on WordPress with the Blocksy theme). We are hiring 2 candidates for a 10-hour paid trial at max 3 USD/hour to test collaboration fit. After the trial, only 1 candidate will be selected for a guaranteed 30+ hours of ongoing work (same max 3USD /hour rate), with potential for long-term, steady work beyond that.

!NO GERMAN LANGUAGE SKILLS NEEDED! All German content is 100% generated via AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.). You will only input pre-written prompts, copy AI outputs, and implement content/HTML exactly as instructed. I (native German speaker) will handle all final language/quality reviews before any publication.
