    I can write about pretty much anything, but areas I have done previous work in are:

    humor/entertainment, game reviews, financial (loans, investing, etc.), hosting site intros, servers, cpanel/apache, sports, and business related. I have done bits here and there in other subjects as well.

    Post a fixed rate, per number of words. Lots in here tend to want a few uniques articles fast.

    Brandon, If your going to broker the work at least use different forums to do it or be more open so people don't feel deceived.

    It's not a bad concept. It could save some people time in finding multiple writers with various areas of expertise.

    I have nothing against it, I just don't want to be deceived as a customer.

    I'm still interested in hearing your rates...

    I'd be interested in having someone write a blog on a daily basis - It needs to be good content based on industry news...

    Please PM rates. :)

    Wow, so many replies in one weekend where I was out of town.

    Here is some clarification guys, please read for understandinig.

    The other thread about hiring writers is in no way related to this. This thread about being for hire is based on my own freelance writing experience and will be solely my writing alone.

    The other thread is for some projects of mine. I do not have the time to write articles for all of my websites (nor am I always motivated to). Sometimes it is easier to put the work on ones own websites into someone else's hands.

    Do you guys understand now? I am very sorry for the confusion.

    My rates usually start out at $0.02 to $0.03 per word. That number will hopefully improve some once I have proven myself to the employer. I have examples readily available so please contact me if interested.

    Again, sorry for any confusion, but this work is all original and uniquely written by me. I never use someone else to write my jobs or somebody else's work as reference.

    Hmmm... Im interested but, how would you have time for me if you do not even have time for you?

    I pay Serenity to write articles because what I can expect has been made clear and has been proven successful. I guess you just left yourself open for questions and there are many swirling around in our heads.

    Yes, and I was out of town so this issue was not put down earlier.

    However, it is not that I don't have time to write. I could write for myself, however I choose not to. One is not always the best judge of their own work, nor can they always continuously think of new ideas to put into articles, and for this I often seek other writers to do things for me and then I simply touch up those articles. I have found the cost-time benefit of this to be substantial.

    I would prefer e-mail if you wouldn't mind, easier to just attach things and that way we can discuss it further.
