Looking for Content Writer

[thewindmaster]

I am potentially looking for Content writers with good skills and a broad spectrum of topics they can write on. I am wanting people that can turn out 25-50 quality articles per week. I need people who can start within 60 days.

Please PM me what your per article rate would be for 300 words and the topics you can write on.

Thanks

WARNING

I hired Jien for content writing, paid via Xoom/Paypal, and have received nothing to date neither content nor refund. You've been warned.

You pay before recieving content Asian?

Just a tip, though I'm sure you already figured this out, never pay someone you don't know upfront. Its fine for people you know are dependable, but a complete stranger online can screw you at any given point.

This works both ways, though: if she doesn't ask for payment upfront (or a deposit), then what's to stop the content writer spending a lot of time working for someone, only for them to dissapear without paying?

I now ask for payment upfront for small projects and a deposit for larger ones, unless the client is someone I know, in which case I'll invoice them in arrears. My website does contain contact details (including telephone number and mailing address) and testimonials, though, so clients can contact other people I've worked for to ask any questions.

If you've paid by paypal or credit card, you can request a refund through them directly.

Yeah, silly me. I gave her the benefit of the doubt since it wasn't that large of an amount, about a month or so worth of articles as a "trial" run. She said she was "out of town" and I haven't heard nada since then (like 2 months ago) and here she is still trying to scam.

Thanks for the advice on jien. If you have had bad experiences with her leaving iTrader feedback might be a good idea.

I've done many large and small projects Copywriter and I have never been not paid. Not once. People asking for articles are not the ones trying to make a quick buck.

If I work for someone for a long time I might ask for half-up front for a huge project, meaning 50-60$ per order at least. But at the beginning I give them the benefit of the doubt. Usually people looking for content are not going to rip off the people they hire.

Just my experiance...

Hi thewindmaster, I am also interested in the assignment... please check PM

[Mr Crow]

that maybe a great idea for someone to start some kind of escrow service - where both sides are protected you could use pay pal to do it
Just be a middle man for people doing online jobs.

I have gotten taken before to and I say I wont let it happen again but since I have had it happen a couple of times and it stings..

I made a post in another thread where I have planned on becoming an article broker for writers to get consistant work
.
I would advertise it heavily .. but here is a post in another thread for those of you that may want to Jv with us on this .. if I am wrong in doing this please let me know I will remove it :

My thread sure has gone off topic. :) That is ok as I am hoping I have found all the article writers I will need.

I just want to warn you that the member with the name Robb will make promises to begin writing and plays games.

He had promised to do work for me 1 week ago but to date has just played games. He claims to be a writer .. but be careful
