Professional Writer -- Content For Websites, Personal Use, etc.

    My name is Jason F. I am a writer and am available for work. I have been in business for about 4 years and have been writing for a little over 9. I have an extensive line of work if you would like to see.

    I love to write and enjoy working with my clients. I believe developing a relationship is healthy for both myself and the person I am working with. Not only does premium content keep the visitors coming back for more, but it also gives your website that edge above other competition.

    Not only do I write for clients interested in content for their website, but I also write for clients that are interested in collecting articles and whatnot. An example would be a review, etc. I also create press releases or articles advertising a clients business or whatever they are interested in advertising.

    I specialize in quality content articles, press releases, and short stories. I am also a soon to be author. :)

    If you would like to view my portfolio please go to http://www.associatedcontent.com/freeden .

    I also have client work that can be viewed as an example if you require to see more.

    If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to contact me via AIM preferably or by PM. My AOL Instant Messenger screenname is JJx23 and my MSN is . I am available at most times; if you cannot get ahold of me, I usually leave my away message(s) up so you can contact me and I will get back to you ASAP.

    I am looking forward to building a bunch of writing relationships here at Digital Point!

    Much Regards,

    Jason F.

    Just wanted to let everyone know that I purchased articles from this DP member and was shocked with the quality of work. He claims to be a "Professional Writer" and that he has been writing for 9 years. 9 years is a good amount of experience as a writer right? Well what if I told you that he is 20 years old and has been writing since the age of 11? Would that count as much.

    I paid for 15 articles (half up front and half upon completion) and yet only received 10 articles. After reading through them, I didn't even want to bother having him rewrite it...since I felt that I was deceived. I contracted a Professional Writer (check out the title of this thread), and got a 20 year old with writing experience from the age of 11? Had he been upfront I would have known what I was getting into and made my decision accordingly. But never mind that. I guess i'm stuck with them right? I am still owed a rewrite on all 10 articles he delivered, and the 5 he never delivered at all.

    The writer made a comment about his samples..."If you have a problem with my writing, you should have said something when I sent you my samples. Why didn't you? Were my samples alright?" Just in case you're thinking I am crazy or super picky, i'll provide you with some of my own samples and you can decide for yourself. BTW, these are from only two (2) dating articles out of 10, imagine what the other 8 are like:


    “This is the chance you take because your friend has went out with this girl for over three years and naturally you feel bad inside because you don’t want to hurt your friend and you definitely don’t want your friend to hurt you, even though they have broken it off. “


    “Something you will find out, if you haven’t already, is that the world is a very small place and sometimes the people you go out with might not have anything to do with you, but they might know a few things about you. “


    “Most terms that people bring up that find out that their friends are dating their ex’s are, “find your own girl”, “why do you have to backstab me?” These are the dreaded words you don’t want to hear and they can lead to a downhill fall that you won’t be able to climb again. “

    “Some of the bigger things that happen due to a girlfriend or boyfriend lying to each other is they either cheat on you with someone else, tell you they’re going someone when they decide to go somewhere else, lie about how they really feel about you, and so on. Some people hide from the truth because they don’t want to face the facts and some just lie for kicks, but in the long run you will know who your real mate is and when that happens is when everything changes.”

    "Say you are getting ready for a big date and you and your lover are very much in love, the day comes when you are ready to go out and you leave to pick up your girlfriend if you are the guy. "


    “but eventually the girl comes home and tells the guy that something came up and she had to attend, that’s all fine because at least he knows she didn’t just ditch him. “


    “I suggest you are truthful to whoever it is you love because it can really hurt them."


    “The thing you have to realize with dating is, you don’t have to be naturally be in love while being with someone.”


    “This can fall under the terms of “Friends with benefits”. Basically friends with benefits means, you can fool around while not actually “going out”.



    “The reason I put this in the dating section was to show you all that dating doesn’t mean you are in love and that you can basically do anything you feel like as long as you’re not actually with someone. But don’t always listen to my judgment because it’s totally your decision, I am just trying to be of assistance.”


    “A few sources on the internet state that friends with benefits means – A physically involved relationship, where both partners enjoy some comforts of sitting on the fence between serious relationship and simple friendship. Now what does this mean? I believe it means that you are in between a relationship and basic friendship, which in other terms could be known as plain ol’ dating, but in urban terms, it is known as friends with benefits. Now if you are a close friend with a girl that you’ve known for a very long time, this can also fall under the category of friends with benefits.”


    “While the dating world is very funny, there are so many terms out there that will definitely make your head spin, but I find that experimenting with people just like yourselves will open up a lot of doorways for the future and allow you to find out for yourselves. Take my information or don’t take my information, but you will eventually experience this type of behavior just like everyone else does. “


    Oh and this is by far my favorite....taken from the online dating article he sent me (not to be confused with the two above):

    "Dating in the real world might be the old fashioned way, but it’s also the safest way. Whether you meet someone at school, at work, in your church, wherever, you are speaking to them face to face and it’s just a lot safer then not speaking to them face to face and through email. "


    Is this professional work? You can decide for yourself.

    Please refrain from crashing my thread sir. You're not happy with my work and that's fine, but bringing it up to the whole world is not right. I told you we would work this out in private, I have been working on your articles for the past couple of hours, we spoke about this also.

    If you're going to sell a service on this forum, you need to accept good and negative feedback.

    You are completely right. The situation has been resolved between myself and rzvagelsky . I am 20 years old and have been in the writing business for 4 1\2 years. I have been writing however for 9 years. We have cleared everything up.

    Thanks,

    Jason F.

    Has anyone else used this gentleman? How have you found his work? Looking at his articles on AssociateContent, I would say he is a good writer. I am thinking about using his services, but the post by rzvagelsky has put a bit of doubt in my mind. The quality of the example above is not that great, however.

    Yet another "you get what you pay for" situation. I'm not sure what you paid, but I'd have to guess no more than a few dollars per article. If you want "professional writers" you'll pay professional rates. But live and learn... if someone doesn't even have their own site to showcase their work, and uses only AC as a "portfolio", you can be pretty sure "professional" is a stretch. Now at least you know what questions to ask next time.

    Why would I or a potential client give a crap about your writing when you were 11? Hell, I had to start writing in Kindergarten. Can I list that on my professional resume?

    Even the stuff you did as a high school kid doesn't matter--unless you are a prodigy.

    I'm sure you are a great guy with loads of talent. Here's a tip. Unless you are a whore that's selling yourself for $1 for 1,000 words, clients want to know what big boy stuff you have done.

    Being a "professional" doesn't mean you got paid for something. If that were the case, the illegal immigrant that cuts my grass for $10 a month would be a professional grass engineer. He's not. He knows that when "grass too long" it's time to cut it.
