    Hi,

    I am looking for a writer who can write in clear and legible English. You will need to complete a sample based on Keywords I provide to you. I need 12 articles of 500 words each, and they need to be written with SEO in mind.

    This is the initial package and based on your quality, speed and thoughtfulness, there will be plenty more work available.

    This initial package will be worth $36 ($3 per article)

    Contact me at your earliest convenience, this opportunity will be snapped up as you know!

    Don't ask for a "great writer" if you aren't willing to pay at least the minimum average rate. Seriously, that doesn't even scrape the bottom of the crap-pay category, and you are wanting some kind of excellent content provider?

    Prepare for bad content, unless you manage to take advantage of someone new enough not to realize they are worth more than that.

    Well I guess even though you are not "on-topic" I will thank you for your not so valuable input. As you may be aware, 3 or 4 reasonably good SEO articles can be created in less than an hour, and if this is the case, the rate for these would work out to be $9-$12 per hour. You might be speaking of a US based minimum rate, but of course like most other things in the world today, thank god we do not base our needs on what the US stipulates.

    For your further information, and I would have envisaged you may have gathered this, I am referring to the writer's ability to construct a fluent English article. It doesn't have to be nominated for any literary award! If it is any of your business, I have received 11 responses, 4 great articles, all spell-checked and CS passed, and will make a decision later today, based on my client's feedback.

    I suggest you take your opinions and place them somewhere they may be useful. Here in this thread they fall on deaf ears. Have a GREAT day :)

    Just shows how wrong you can be. If these articles were not for a client I would show them to you.

    You know what strikes me as funny, well there are two things actually....

    1. You clearly can't remember a time when you were starting out online, and a time when you too would accept lower rates that the over-inflated prices of the so-called professionals.

    2. You actually have the time to come onto a thread and leave wasteful comments about something that has absolutely nothing to do with you in the first place!

    You should spend some of your surplus time, go have a look at freelancer and see what some people are paying there for the articles they order!! Over there you can (and I could have too) get articles for $1 each.

    My advice to you is to take your thoughts elsewhere, be places where you might be appreciated rather than paint yourself as a pain in the ass on a completely legitimate thread.

    Hey, and you know what is really funny about all the hype from you three morons (you know who you are) - whilst you have spent time here boosting my view count, whining and moaning about something that has nothing to do with you, $36 has been earned by someone completing these articles ;)

    Thank you! I got submissions from 11 good writers, one of them will be paid $36, money they did not have before, and my client is happy! A win win I would say!

    Oh by the way, you do realize that "sarcasm" is the lowest form of wit ;)

    What did you earn today??

    This is a forum so i am more than entitled to sharing my thoughts here. I am giving an honest opinion here since i have an article writing firm myself. The online publishing world is competitive and without the quality attached to your work - you are not going to get very far. I could always give you a few links to go and look at so you can see what quality actually is. You get what you pay for.

    A full $36 ... WOW ...

    Don;t forget to ask your client to keep you updated on how far those articles get with their search engine rankings. For all you know that client will have to tweak the entire batch to make it useful. I have a lot of clients complaining about previous services they made us of and the content they received was in a word, terrible. Maybe that client will stop by my service sometime for real quality.

    With good writers you mean? The $0.70 Indian writers?

    3 or 4 reasonably good SEO articles? In less than an hour? This is incredible. I think i should get myself a writer with that capability. Then again, i could always use article spinning.... From experienced people in this trade... its most likely you won't hear from your client again.

    Well you hit the proverbial nail on the head... This is a "forum" and forums have rules, so let me point out where you are again "wrong" with your response. Wow, there so many wrongs in this tiny message...

    Firstly the phrase "more than entitled to sharing my thoughts" is incorrect grammar! You say you have an article writing firm, so maybe you should check your own credentials to run such a "firm"

    Secondly, you state you are entitled to offer an opinion, wrong again! Let me point out the rules to you:

    "Hijacking Thread - Do not hijack people's thread/topic. This includes (but not limited to) purposely changing the subject, posting in someone's sales thread to offer your opinion (like "great design" or "unlimited hosting is a scam" when you have no intention of buying)."

    the above can be located at this link: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/faq.php?faq=rules#faq_rules_replying should you wish to check out what else you are "entitled to do"

    I don't need links to see what quality is! I have an ezinearticles account with a click through rate of more than 50% on most articles, so I tend to use my own judgement. I don't need some self-proclaimed "publisher" to tell me where to look for quality. You say you have a firm, which implies you have a "team" of writers, and yet you spend so much time here commenting on things that simply do not concern you.

    Should you not be working for some of the many clients you must have?!

    What my client does with his articles is his business, as is how they (the articles) do. My business is to secure good quality content for my clients, at a reasonable rate, and I do my job "extremely" well! My clients keep coming back for more content, and this is the only thing that success is gauged upon.

    What do you mean "for all you know..." - of course I would know! The client would complain, and my clients DON'T complain! They may complain if they saw sentences with, um, how did you put it? "about previous services they made us of and..." - where do you get off telling me about quality, when you can't even write a legible message?! I think this answers your conclusion that my client may stop by your service... I seriously doubt that, lol.

    This guy is funny. Would you stop boasting about a lousy $36 already? What a rip!

    Maybe you should get yourself a writer who can do this! You call yourself a writer? Maybe you didn't, but of course in order to successfully run a "firm" of writers, you would need to know something about writing, so surely you could write something yourself. I can write a great reading article geared for SEO and LSI in around 22 minutes. I can proof-read someone elses 500 word article, and edit it where I think it needs editing, in less than 10 minutes. None of my articles are spun articles, and I know how to check uniqueness very thoroughly. To satisfy another incorrect assumption, this particular client has been with me for more than a year now. I have provided him with hundreds of articles.

    You almost sound resentful that I have been able to secure good writers for $3 an article. Man I bet you have thrown some tantrums in your time! Again I suggest you get back to your work and spend less time, worrying about things that simply don't concern you!

    Glad you find it humorous! I am not boasting about $36, where did you get that idea? I bet it is still more than you earned today! What is really funny is the fact that you have so much idle time to spend "touting" a worthless opinion. I mean I could sit here all day and bounce this back and forth with you, but you are really not worth the trouble. Take a final look at the "Hijacking" message earlier, before I report you!
