Content & Writing Tycoon

**haiku** · 01-24-2007, 08:59 AM

I have wasted way too much time looking for content writers recently so I will make what I am looking for very clear.

BRIEF:
I am interested in articles of 350-400 words about general topics on
living and working in Asia. I will provide you with all of the topics. I will even provide you with a list of websites to use for your research. I don't care if the articles have the same information as other websites as long as everything has been rewritten with different words, paraphrased, and contains plenty of original sentences linking the info together...just like a school paper.

At times, I may also give you a couple of terms to use several times in the article. For example, I may give you the word 'teach', which you would use in the forms 'teach', 'teaches', 'teaching', 'teachers', etc 4 or 5 times in the article.

TEST ORDER AND PLAGIARISM:
COPY-AND-PASTERS NEED NOT APPLY.
I am tired of wasting my time checking writing samples online for plagiarism, which most of them have. I could have written 50 articles myself just spending time checking peoples' writing samples.

If you are interested in writing articles, PM me and I will give you 3 test topics to write about. If so much as one sentence has been copied and pasted from a website, book, magazine, or journal, our relationship is over and you have wasted your time 'writing' the 3 articles. Please note that I use the TurnItIn plagiarism prevention service employed by universities, academics journals, and institutions around the world, and I WILL know if something has been copied.

Of course, I also use Copyscape.com and PlagiarismChecker.com so make sure to check your articles there first, and don't bother sending anything won’t even pass these websites.

ORDERING AND PRICE:
If we decide to pursue a business relationship, these three articles will count towards the first bulk order of 25 articles. The starting price will be $2 per article and I am looking for 500 articles in total for now, more when those are finished.

The price may seem low but the type of article I am looking for should not take a decent writer more than 10 or 15 minutes, depending on how much experience you have. They are all essentially of the same nature so the more of them you do, the more you will get the hang of how to do them, and the quicker you will be able to complete them.

As I said before, I will give you links to websites you will use for research. All you have to do is combine some info on 4 or 5 website pages, change the words around, and add some linking sentences...very basic.

The information in the articles should come from the websites I provide you with. This will 1) ensure that you are writing about the proper things; and 2) I will be able to check further for plagiarism.

SUBMITTING FINISHED ARTICLES AND GETTING PAID:
Finished articles will be submitted in complete orders of 25. If one of them contains any copying, they will all be returned and you will have wasted your time writing all 25 articles. This will help prevent plagiarism and keep away people tempted to try and make a quick buck.

If you wish to take on larger orders of 50 or 100+, we can talk after the first 25 are completed satisfactorily.

DEADLINE:
Honesty and integrity are most important when I do business, and quality is much more important than speed. As long as the articles are turned in within a reasonable amount of time, there is no deadline to meet.

After writing the first three articles you will have an idea of how much time it will take to write the articles. You will let me know at the beginning of an order how long it will take you to complete, thereby setting your own deadline. If something comes up and you will not be able to write them at the pace you originally said, simply let me know and we will work it out. Keep me informed and be honest, and you will see that I am very understanding.

OWNERSHIP RIGHTS:
Any and all rights to ownership of the articles will belong solely to the buyer (me), upon payment for services rendered. Links to your work can be shown to prospective future clients and I will welcome any inquiries by people interested in your services.

However, resale and/or further distribution of articles is strictly prohibited. This means that you cannot publish them in print or put them anywhere online, as Google and other search engines penalize websites for containing significant amounts of duplicate content.

I do want others to know about good work and I will be more than happy to provide references at any time in the future upon satisfactory completion of work. I can also help you find more clients if you so desire.

INTERESTED?
I am only interested in long-term relationships with people who want steady work. If you think this is not the deal for you, then save both of our times and please do not apply. If you are someone who wishes to work hard in a good business relationship and make some steady money, please PM me. As in any job, the pay will increase with time and according to ability. Show me a good work ethic and you will find that I am a fair and reasonable person.

Payment will be made via Paypal or other online credit card service. Do you really want to work but are in a country that Paypal doesn’t operate? Talk to me and let’s work together to find another solution.

CONCLUSION:
I have tried to include everything in this post so we don't have to waste our time PMing each other with questions. If you have a legitimate question that I have not addressed above or if something is unclear, by all means PM me and I will be more than happy to answer it.

Please note that I will be away for the weekend and will not be able to respond to PMs until Monday, 1/29.

I look forward to working with you.

Regards,
H

Haiku, you price is way under..No one is going to produce an article of 350-500 words for $2 an article.. The regular rate for that amount of words is $3.50 to $5.00 depending on the word count.

If you want good writers you need to make sure you are willing to open up your pocket book a little more, that is your wallet.

I was told I post for a very low price at .10 a word and everywhere I have been posting .. I have been told my quality is excellent.

No matter how nice a person I may be.. I wouldn't go for less than .10 a word..since that is the going rate most everywhere..

I understand what you are saying and appreciate you giving me the opportunity to explain further.

As said in my post, the starting rate for the job I am looking for is $2 an article for bulk orders. You can look at it by how much it is per word and say forget about it, or you can look the type of work it is and how much it comes out to per hour.

If someone is interested in working they can PM me, receive three topics with 4-5 links on where to find info for each one, and see how long it takes them to write the three 350-400 word articles. Then, they can decide if the work is worth their time.

Decent paper writers can do 4-5 articles and start at $8-10+/hour with this project, better writers more and vice versa. That is not a bad starting salary for a part-time job in the US, Korea, India, or wherever people may be. And, as I said above, those who prove they are capable will soon see their pay increase.

I am fully aware that content writing is usually done on a per-word system. However, if you can only look at a job as pay-per-word, you are not the person for this job.

Finally, if you are not happy with the job or find other work that you wish to pursue, you are free to turn in any finished articles for payment. As long as you are honest with me, you are even free to say, "I got another order that is paying me more so I can't do yours for a while." I will thank you for your honesty and if you want, you can return to write again anytime when you have free time. You will start at the pay you left with

I am looking to build business relationships with quality people who currently have some time and are interested in developing a good business relationship. As the relationship develops, the trust grows, the efficiency improves, the salary goes up, everyone becomes happier, the relationship develops more, the trust grows stronger, the salary goes up, the efficiency improves, everyone becomes happier, and so on.

This is how I do business and it has served me well so far. It keeps out the slackers and ensures that parties are really interested, and rewards people who work hard.

If you can see the potential in this, you are the person I am looking for.

I would be interested in this work..I will accept the pay if there can be a guaranteed steady work..please pm me or email me at littlefranciscan@suddenlink.net

Hi, I am a fulltime freelance writer-editor and do not mind trying out your writing project since I have done a lot of bulk writing assignments at the rates you offer, when I started out. Perhaps, you would be open to raising the rates after I have submitted the first 100 articles and we can work together for more rewarding writing projects and a long term, mutually beneficial business relationship. I can give you a link to view samples of my writing work, if your project is still open. Thanks! eWriterz

**ewriterz** · 03-07-2007, 06:25 AM

Please contact me before the 10th of March, if you require the sample articles rewritten before 15th March as I shall be unavailable for projects between 15th March and April 10th. I would also appreciate knowing a little more about you and your writing requirements on a longterm basis and the volume of work you can provide on a regular basis(monthly)

Thankyou!

So you will receive 3 test articles, what happens if you do not choose to use the submitter? What happens to that writer's 3 test articles with original content?
