Hey, I am interested in the above opportunity, I just need to clarify a few things, you want : 4 topics daily with 7 articles for each (correct ?), that's 28 articles per day and in total 850+ articles per month, that's a lot of time out of my day and as a result I would be seeking a solid contract. I would be interested in this opportunity if you can afford $1500 a month, if you wish to talk more feel free to PM me and also include any other information that you think is relevant. Thanks, Jason
It's not a per word job, it's a full time job. This is not for freelancers, as I clearly stated in my ad.
Hey I am interested in this job as I feel I can write good articles on the fields you just stated.I have sent u my details through PM. Do let me know if I qualify for your offer.
Its very important to get into something solid for such a huge work daily.i.e. 28 articles per week. please let me know if you can pay per day as 1500/30 as 50 dollars per day. I will happily enter in your offer. thanks
I'm a professional writer with Native English, been writing for... god knows how long. But the demands here are a bit too high for the amount of work involved. It would've been understandable if it was 14 articles/day - but bigger ones. But 28, each demanding it's own portion of research 0_o If you consider lowering the per day article number I might consider it.
Considering the amount of work involved, natives of US and UK will most likely turn down this opportunity. Except of course, for those living offshore. Anyway, don't mind me, I just wanted to suggest that you hire international writers that are fluent in English or at least divide the work between two writers.
Doesn't matter really, you are still asking the same thing. Sorry, but I couldn't understand the way you planned to have 28 articles every single day. If you planned to divide the work amongst 2-3 writers, I think it might work out otherwise the guy is going to collapse within a couple of days writing 28 articles day in and day out.
It is only 5600 (I think) words per day, although the price isn't right and will be hard to fill the position on a full time basis.
The idea is tempting, but the workload is slave labour. 4 magazine topics per day with 7 short articles on each topic can involve some degree of research. On top of this, the author needs to think of the topics themselves? It may work out at 5600 - 7000 words per day, but with research time, writing time, proofreading/editing and creative thinking, it will add up to 10-12hrs per day for quality work... 7 days a week. Roughly $375 for 70 hours work comes to about half the minimum wage in the UK. If all titles were supplied along with most of the research material, then it would me much more feasible. However, with the amount of work that an author is required to do makes it rather unattractive. What happens if an author fails to meet the quota for 1 day? - Do they forfeit the entire monthly pay? Is it paid in arrears? - So you need to risk working for a month and could receive nothing but burnout?
The thread starter is not new to article publishing. He seems to have gauged the the Dp article market before tantalizingly placing the pay figure at 1500 bucks and as salary. It may be peanuts by industry standards but can well be a good sum for someone out there. A small team or a couple of guys can share the work and can still be happy with that amount elsewhere in this world but I don't think a native English writer would be able to devote this kind of a time for so less. Good luck manofwar
I'm not knocking his pricing or choice to request people from DP to write for the rate outlined. I was trying to outline what would be involved and the chances of landing a native English writer from the UK is extremely low as a result. The fact that it is a salaried job, would it also come with employee rights? (Medical, pension etc). There are too many unanswered questions for anyone from the UK to even consider it and many of the questions would also need to be addressed for any USA citizens. The $1500 per month payment... is that gross? or net payment after all taxes are taken out etc? The offer is for a salaried job, not a freelance position and therefore $1500 would need to be clarified. If it is gross payment, then the actual payment is 20-30% less and becomes even more unattractive. The author would also need to know that they will not hold any copyright on any of the work produced as it was produced for a salary and is the default property of the magazine, not the author. A lot more issues could be addressed, it definitely isn't straightforward and can be very complicated when it comes to all the legal issues surrounding employee rights etc. Clarifying everything would be a good idea and all I can say is good luck in finding someone or a small team of people willing to undertake the job.
We are not in the USA, so this whole idea of "legal" issues is not on the table. The work is remote. Please refrain from posting in this thread unless you're interested in the job. thanks

I can't believe you have the cheek to ask for english degree holders and then pay them pittance. You make out like you are some big company with a massive contract just waiting to be snatched up, but your not. You are going to get a crap writer for the price you're offering, and I think you know that. Anybody who is as good as you want would never work for this amount, they could get double, triple, or even more what you are offering.
