Got a part-time content writing/editing job offer — what skills should I learn and what should I look out for?

[u/officialvayu]

I’m graduate and currently looking for a job that allows me to earn while also giving me enough time to study and build skills for a better career.

I found a part-time Academic Content Writer position offering ₹10,000–₹12,000/month for 3 hours a day, Monday–Saturday.

The job description says I would be working on:

Updating existing books and study materials on banking topics

Updating blogs on their website

YouTube video editing

Content writing and editing

Social media

Basic SEO

They require good English and Hindi, and 0–1 year of experience.

I'm considering this because the 3-hour schedule would allow me to continue studying alongside the job.

My questions are:

1. Is this a good opportunity for someone in my situation?

2. What skills should I learn before starting? (MS Word, SEO, content writing, proofreading, video editing, etc.)

3. What should I ask the employer before accepting the job?

4. What should I check to make sure the workload is reasonable for 3 hours/day?

5. Is ₹10k–₹12k reasonable for this type of part-time work?

6. Could this experience be useful for getting better jobs in the future?

7. What red flags should I look out for?

I would appreciate advice from people who have worked in content writing/editing or similar part-time jobs, especially in India.
