I hate this , everytime i apply for a writing job , they tell me to send them samples of my work so i go and make new content myself , i send them around 5-10 threads and they never reply back not even refusing my work or approving it they just say nothing. This is Really annoying.
I would make 5 to 10 pages. Then each time work on those until your accepted. This way you improve each one and know what you finaly did to get approved.
For my samples i have just made a blog up with a few samples on. This way whenever people ask just show them the url and let them decide if they like your style etc. This has always worked for me touch wood
try giving few free articles, get some itrader feedback and then respond, show ur work in form of website or ur own blog. hope this helps
Don't create new content each time. Create some examples of your content...varying styles...and submit them. Jim
What writing jobs are they? If it's for English, then you're not in the right game my friend. That paragraph you wrote had plenty of mistakes, which is probably why. Also, if people don't approve you, they will very rarely contact you to tell you why. Perhaps add at the bottom of your application something like "I strive to improve all the time, so even if you don't feel I'm suitable for this job, I'd be very grateful if you could contact me and tell me why. Thanks" or something like that to improve your chances of finding out why they're not biting the bait.
Create some samples and put them online. So you can only send them to the links if they want to have a look your samples.
I buy a lot of content, I hate having to tell someone I can't use their work because of poor content, poor grammar, poor spelling etc. I've also bought way to many articles and have had to rewrite them or just trash them because they were not good enough to put on my site. If I were a writer I'd likely try this. 1)Buy a domain and create a site to showcase your samples. Have samples of different topics and styles of writing. 2)When ever a prospective client want a sample of something you have not done write one, add it to your site and refer him to it. 3)Throw some absence on the site so you can make some money from the pages just sitting there. 4)Add a referral page to refer back to clients/websites that have used your services. This way you give your client a link and if you have some high quality clients it make you look good too.
Just write some examples and link to them examples in your first post so that you don't have to keep replying to pm's with examples as they would be listed in your first post of the thread.
