Blog post research and writing - $50+ per post

    I need 1-2 blog posts per week per topic - permanent.

    I'm looking for ghost writers - meaning that you will have no rights to the texts and won't be able to use them in your portfolio.

    Your posts will probably be rewritten to some extent by the blog owner.

    Posts have to be over 250 words and have to be easy to read, informal, conversational style, provocative, funny.... Also, posts have to be useful - not just rambling about a topic but something well researched with a well elaborated point.

    Most often you will get the post idea and conclusion. Sometimes even research. You will also be free to suggest your ideas and if they are accepted you'll be able to write more than 2 posts per week.

    Topics are: globalization, globalization of IT, offshore IT outsourcing, social issues with globalization, management and communication across cultures, outsourcing contracts, IT management, project / program / portfolio management, recovery of troubled IT projects, corporate governance in Asia, M&A mostly in Asia, etc.

    Ideal writer would be somebody with higher education and understanding of some of those topics.

    Thanks to everybody who already sent me PM.

    Let me clarify few things:

    I'm indeed paying up to $0.2 per word. I'm paying that much because I need top quality writing. And because it's ghost writing which means that you lose absolutely all rights to the material - you'll have to sign a contract.

    I need only few posts per week.

    I can pay almost any way you prefer. WU, PayPal, wire, CC...

    For the first few posts until we establish a relationship I'll pay 50% per post in advance, 50% after delivery. Over the time I'm hoping to move that to monthly payment.

    Good day. I have sent a PM together with a custom sample blog post. I have also stated on my PM that I can do 2000+ words worth of high-quality content on a daily basis, 5 days per week, but I can accommodate your terms for more or less daily/weekly word count quotas. Thanks.

    I am willing to do this for you, but since I am relatively new to this whole thing, I will skip the advance and accept the whole payment only if you are satisfied....

    Greetings. Here's another completely original custom sample article of mine since the other custom sample article I have sent you via PM was written using both a lighter perspective in mind and an opinionated approach, while this one is more informative and factual. Thanks.

    *start of custom sample*

    Duke University study results - Outsourcing Trends Show Positive Results


    The recent studies conducted by Duke University and Archstone Consulting about the latest developmental phases of modern outsourcing trends presented positive results, showing signs of rapid growth and advantages which most, if not all, institutions have gained due to its undertaking of offshore outsourcing systems. The studies presented the following as the strongest points that modern offshore outsourcing trends have provided institutions which have integrated such offshore outsourcing systems on its full-scale operations, not to mention its continuous tapping of offshore labor resources:

    - the implementation worth 70% of modern offshore outsourcing systems attained savings worth more than 30%;

    - the institutions that have reduced labor costs due to its implementation of modern outsourcing trends presented 40% worth of savings on average;

    - institutions that have implemented captive modern offshore outsourcing efforts on its full-scale operations attained higher percentages worth of cost savings in direct relation to organizations that have undermined freelance outsourced labor skills;

    - research and developmental purposes which integrated modern offshore outsourcing systems on its efforts attained the highest percentages worth of actual cost savings;

    - institutions that needed research and developmental purposes were the predominant organizations that tapped offshore outsourced labor resources, but human resource is seen as the targeted industry for future developmental phases of offshore outsourcing trends;

    - and although reduced costs and thus bolstered savings were the main reasons cited by most institutions for tapping offshore outsourcing resources, direct access to highly skilled talent and pervasive growth were included on the top advantages which were gained by institutions brought about by modern offshore outsourcing trends.

    Thus, these studies presented and explicitly highlighted the pervasive growth and increasing popularity of modern offshore outsourcing systems amongst the institutions and organizations of the world. With this, more business institutions and organizations look forward to tapping modern offshore outsourcing resources and trends to further spearhead its growth and positive development within its own industries.

    Hey all,

    Thanks for the all the PMs and for all the great samples I got.

    I received a fair number of PMs so you'll have to give me a day or two to go through all that. I'll get back to everybody.
