    Hi,

    I need native English writer and proofreader from USA (no Indians) that can proof read and rewrite my content (articles, reviews etc). The content will be ready you just need to rewrite it in US English. I need the person quickly. My rates are $.5 per 500 words. The pay will be via Paypal after successful approval of the project. I don't mind paying daily but the work has to be really good quality. You will have to do a sample rewrite of about 200 words and after its approval you will be hired.

    Please do not PM me if you are not native US. Believe me I can find out. I will also report you if this happens.

    Regards

    It is .5 per 500 words. It is a rewrite in US English. The original article will be ready.

    *Laughs!* (Sorry, if this offends you!) You need someone to proof read or rewrite the content for 50cents? Good luck, mate!

    There is no need to rewrite everything. Just some portions like a few lines per every article. It should not take more than 10-15 minutes per article.

    No offense intended, but at this rate, you will only find fake Natives, we don't work at dirt cheap rate.

    Can you provide a demo of what content you require to be rewritten?
    Maybe that will assist you in finding some rewriters.

    Original- You would have more time at your disposal to browse the varieties of moving boxes if you decide to buy them across the Internet.

    Rewrite- You will have more time available to research different types of moving boxes in case you decide to buy them from internet.

    This will occur in about five places in one article. You are not required to rewrite the whole article. I can get that done. Proofreading and rewriting only the part where it appears to be a hitch from a US writer's perspective. That's all. I will give you plenty of work. So you can make decent money in case you are fast at doing this. I know there are people who are very fast especially in typing.

    Native English writers will not work for such rate. By the way, are you an Indian trying to hire a native? Sorry, if I am wrong but it seems like the case. We also know how to do an ip search :)

    Nothing wrong. Just that I find it weird because it goes like this: English natives look for writers > Indian writers take up the job saying they are good and affordable > Indian writers contract the work out to English natives for a lower price so that presentable work can be done

    Honestly, we could cut out the middleman, you know. So it will be respectable if you give English natives a reasonable pay to do such jobs for you. The rate's much higher, you know. No offence, not directed at you but it's a sad truth some middlemen succeeded. But I guess it will be only for a gig or two. Most natives wise up after that.

    No offence, like I said, my concerns were with such double selling as well as pushing down the wage for natives. Honestly, I don't think Indians should be paid cheap rates as well. If they can write well, they deserve the same pay. Everyone should deserve the same chance. It all depends on the writing. But sadly, the fluff problem is huge in this field.

    Are you looking at me to solve this problem mate? Honestly I don't know the solution to cut the chase. If I did I will tell you and everybody. Trying to hire natives directly doesn't always meet with success. And you are right there are good Indian writers out there as well. Like yours truly.

    No, don't think you have the solution.

    Just want to tell you I spotted your post before you edited it. Great that you realised "your truly" should be changed to "yours truly".

    Have fun searching for the English native who would want to work for you.

    May I know the reason you are coming for my blood mate? I have explained in the ad why the rates are so. Are you trying to be a hero or something? This is strictly professional, all business. Not some fight between natives and others.

    Just in case you still think that this is a petty war, NO to all your questions. I'm just addressing the issues I have mentioned in previous posts. Anyway, good day and good luck.

    faithchild, even middlemen have their uses. This is how free market works, or maybe you do not like free markets? Plus why would you dislike it if an Indian employs some native writer? Obviously, you find the idea distasteful, but why exactly? I am from India, and I have worked for US clients, who were themselves middlemen ( one of my articles is on eHow.com). I never thought less of anyone just because of that. Perhaps you think the US is some big commune wherein no one should employ anyone outside of its boundaries? All in all your first two paragraphs are distasteful, but your third para redeems your comment somewhat.

    The problem of fluff is the problem that comes from the popularity of google; many clients are just putting out content for google to crawl and give them a higher ranking. It is doubtful that much of what is written for $1 per 100 words even gets any audience; I am talking content that NO ONE reads even once.

    No, I do not think natives are superior. I have wonderful Indian friends who can write well but I am saying there are a lot of writers from India (not you of course I'm sure) who ask for work and claim that they are competent. And with many occurence of that, the fluff problem arises. Please address the issue here, I am NOT saying Indians can't write, I am talking about recontracting the work to natives for low wages.

    By the way, this petty conversation should end. I have made myself clear.

    > No, I do not think natives are superior.

    You never said anything like that, and I never said you did; but you did say that you did not like Indians employing Americans. Seems kinda messed up thinking.

    And yes, the conversation is petty, but so it would be in any thread that had "native/non-native" in its title.

    Whats funny is that, at one time, native meant Indians, and non-native meant Americans. On this forum, native means Americans, and non-native means Indians.

    The (stupid) circle of life .....
