    Before sending you a PM, can you share the niche on which you want the articles. I mean paying 1-2$ per 100 words on general articles like SEO, marketing, online money making and all is fine.. But stuff like herbal recipes and such require in depth research..

    Well, most of the articles will be health related like herbal recipes, weight loss and stuff..

    Also, the response I am getting is good but in return (the samples I got) the work I got were pathetic. Guys are writing them and not even proof reading their article before submitting them.

    Please guys I am paying good, so the work expected is good. We have some standards to maintain and if your article will not meet it we will bluntly reject you without any further talks.

    I applied for this job and was turned down on the basis that my sample has lots of errors in and I too was accused of not proofreading my work. My work was proof read twice, checked for spelling and grammatical errors and had no such flaws. I have reason to believe this individual is merely trying to get a few free samples out of us even despite his large feedback score. I normally wouldn't give this a second thought but he also states above "We have some standards to maintain" and if you check out his website his standards are actually very low:



    So it's now just adding insult to injury and further supports my belief that his excuse was empty and meaningless. Considering he wants not just one writer but 40-50 writers for this job I have a strong reason to suspect he may be actually after 40-50 freebie samples from different writers. So this message is just to let you guys know if you do a sample for this guy you have been warned and it is likely just a waste of time.

    Just goes to show you feedback isn't everything.

    It may take a little while for a our proof readers to proof read some of the articles. I'll read them, and if I feel they are good, I'll send them to my proof reader for a final conclusion.

    I have rejected a few. Please don't ask me why. You know the reason.

    Go ahead. While I know my work is not written in gold I do know it does not have spelling mistakes etc in it as you claimed. Anyway my point in here wasn't to argue with you, you can do as you like. My point was just to give people a heads up so they can make an informed decision.

    Medicinal herbs such as Aloe for acne or Ginger for the digestive system have been used as herbal remedies for many decades and centuries. Herbal remedies allow every day people to treat a variety of ailments without resorting to chemical based man made products. Throughout the history of our planet we have been learning and adapting the environment around us to enrich and better our lives and one of the oldest methods of doing so is the utilisation of natural herbs and plants and their healing properties. (How many "ands" do want in a sentence.)

    The history of herbal remedies is vast and detailed spanning across many civilisations and countries across the globe.(???) The Egyptians have also demonstrated their knowledge of the benefits of using herbal remedies to treat medical ailments. The currently popular Acacia berries provided gum from the Acacia tree which was used in Ancient Egypt to treat gastrointestinal problems.

    Even today the study of herbal remedies continues and while our knowledge of the beneficial properties and uses of these herbs has increased the basics of herbalism have remained the same. The earliest records of herbal remedies are in China 2800BC and the traditions of herbal remedies still remains strong (Consider it revising) in this country today. In the 1900's medicinal herbs were commonly used to treat patients during World War I as synthetic drugs were in short supply.

    While herbal treatments have come and gone throughout the ages as we learn more about this natural art, herbal remedies have seen a massive revival in the last few decades as we become more conscious of the impact of synthetic materials on the body. While some treatments are regarded as more effective than others the overall benefits that herbal remedies can provide have proven to us that the history of medicinal herbs has only just started. (Read it and let me know if it makes any sense)

    Yeah sure! If you doubt that I am just asking something free, go ahead and don't even bother. Digital point is not know for it's writers mind you. I already have 100 writers to do my work. It's just that we are trying something new and wanted to hire writers. If this is the response of each guy after getting rejected, it's better I withdraw myself from asking any writers from here!

    As of now I have only 5-7 writers have the writing which we are looking for. And it's better I go somewhere else for writers rather than roam around here for. Thank you guys for the response. And if you are rejected keep the article. We will not use it for our benefit. (That is what people are thinking here)

    So basically you want certain sentences rephrased because you failed to understand them. No spelling mistakes, no grammatical errors.

    1st Paragraph: So it has a few and words in there. This could have been easily readjusted if you had asked and is not a problem or an error. It's simply your own opinion about the sentence.
    2nd Paragraph: What don't you understand about this sentence? What do you want me to do teach you basic English? "???" is so informative...
    3rd Paragraph: Okay no problem, "and the traditions of herbal remedies remain strong today". Still not an error, just another way of saying the same thing.
    4th Paragraph: Wrote it, Read it, Re-read it, submitted it, re-read it again and re-read it now. Yep still makes sense. We're right back at the whole teaching you how to understand English fiasco. Its an empowering end about the future of herbalism.

    So in conclusion, not a single error, just a pathetic excuse.

    If you don't want my writing that's fine, all you have to say is "not what I'm looking for". Just don't insult my intelligence by spinning lies and tall tales to make me go away.

    You hate DP writers that much and yet you have invested so much time here. Plus, now what are you talking about? I'm just one writer don't base the rest of DP on my response alone. As I said I'm not here to tell people go away, don't submit etc etc I'm here to let them know the details so they can make their own decision.

    If you want to hate me and get angry and defensive go ahead, knock yourself out, but don't go throwing the rest of DP in the same boat as me.

    P.S Just noted your response above so my quick reply here instead of another post: Rejected? You already did that I'm not desperately clinging onto any sad hopes of getting a job with you... That was just pointless venting on your part.

    Anyway as I said to you via PM, I am not a venegeful spirit: Good luck finding the writers you are looking for.

    I guess I was the first guy to send the test article, yet I haven't received the feedback. I hope you haven't decided to leave without even telling me whether I am rejected or otherwise. Kindly ask your proofreaders to make it a little quick.

    Check your pm!

    Don't worry I am not going anywhere, leaving the dp and stuff. I am here to stay.

    No more pms please. You will not get a response from me now!

    And If I reject you, I ensure your articles will not be used. (If you guys are thinking that way) I have no intentions what so ever to do that.

    Thank you again

    Don't pm me anymore.

    @Darkvader:

    Seriously his proof readers instantly read mine an hour ago (it was just SO bad!). I apologise if for some reason my post has affected your chances at this job although I doubt it did in reality.

    Good luck with your sample dude.

    To be fair, both sides are at fault here.

    One, it's insulting to ask for a free sample. I think existing samples should serve as a good enough barometer. That said, the said writer should have ensured the article was better phrased. You seem a pretty competent person, but your team doesn't seem to be so good.

    Free sample kills it for me.

    Also, if you notice my posts, You will not see many around the content creation forum. Hardly any in the past six months. There was a reason for me to hang around here and hire a few writers for work. IF you guys think I am here to use your samples, you are badly mistaken.

    Also, the ones I have sent the details can still come back to me with the article. I'll let you know if I am hiring you or not (Although I am afraid more people would retaliate like that. I am not here to have debates on why and why not)

    Thank you again for an overwhelming responses. No more pms. thank you very much.

    That's what my boss asked. I am sorry if we did! Samples are not only asked to see article skills but other skills such as communication, response timing and behavior, code of conduct and other stuff. We are professionals here and not looking for freelancer who are in and out in the arena.

    I just hope I making myself clear.
