Buying Looking for a GREAT writer...

Discussion in 'Content Creation' started by locals, Apr 19, 2015.

    I need more articles than you will ever be able to write , I'm also looking to outsource this work. That means I do not want to pay you the equivalent of 15 dollars per hour.

    I will pay $10 for an 800-1000 word article, that I do not need to edit... in any way.

    You must be a GREAT writer. I will not respond to any emails or comments that did not come from a GREAT writer.

    Sorry to be "rude"about it, but 95% of the individual's on here responding to writing jobs couldn't pass their 4th grade English class.

    I look forward to that one individual that is looking for long term steady work and can complete great work in a timely manner.

    Thank you for your time.

    And what makes you think a great writer will be willing to work for $1/100 words?

    What's the niche of the content you're after? Automobiles?

    @Content Maestro - a great writer is someone that proof reads their own work and submits something that I do not have to edit.

    @Crimebuster_of_the_Sea - maybe the fact that I need more content than they will be able to write, aka 2000 articles a month

    @DuneDreamer - i need 2000 articles a month, the niche will constantly be changing


    THANK YOU - for all the great replies

    When you're outsourcing and making money from someone else's articles, you really have to earn your pay somewhere.

    This is usually in the form of proofreading/checking the work and then sending it on. By doing that, you can afford to pay peanuts (e.g $1 per 100 words or thereabouts), edit it slightly and sell it on for $2 per 100 words or more (whatever you're getting paid for it).

    I certainly wouldn't dream of writing 800-1000 words of 'great' content for less than a McDonald's cashier gets in an hour.

    Dream on.

    Well I have to admit -- this is the most blunt job request that I've ever encountered -- even online!

    I didn't know McDonald's cashiers got $10+ per hour... Also, thank you for assuming that you know what I am doing with my content. LOL if you think I would waste my time searching for great content to turn around and sell it, then you my dear are the one that is dreaming.

    Also I would like to apologize, I have not had a chance to post responses to negative individuals that would rather take up their time complaining about writing 100 words for $1 when they would much rather like to waste their time ranting and giving me 100 words to proof read for free - AKA negative responses in my posts.

    My inbox is flooded with individuals that are GREAT writers that are willing to work at a rate that suits both of us. They have in return started receiving payments for articles that have already been submitted and approved.

    If you are sitting there with an empty plate and enough time to criticize what I am doing then maybe you need to recalculate your own numbers.

    To all the other great writers that would like the opportunity to write articles consistently, please feel free to inbox me. I am still bringing on new writers. Thank you for your time and consideration in working with me.

    I wish you all the best with your new-found great writers. Truly.

    PLEASE READ:
    Considering I am going through and editing an article that I just got talked into buying for $10 before it was written - I will not be paying for any content upfront...

    If you feel your work is so great and I don't buy it, I am sure it can get sold to someone else... preferably to someone who can not read or write.

    I have been doing a lot of thinking about the whole situation of paying upfront and dealing with the trial and error of find a great writer. And even before I woke up to find this article that I already paid for, I felt that it only makes sense to buy an article after I read it. Now, after getting this CRAP of an article that is a waste of my time to even think that the author can rewrite it to my standards, I have officially confirmed that I like the idea of authors turning in work that I will buy after I read it and run it through a plagiarism checker even more.

    However, I am not donating money to help educate individuals learn how to write English anymore...

    I think he is afraid that you may steal his content and publish it on your own website.
