    Hello,

    My name is Brandon. I am a freelance content writer who has done work for a wide range of topics and web sites. My work has consisted of but is not limited to movie/game reviews, feature articles, finance/business related articles, hosting (apache, cpanel, servers, introductions, etc.), copywrite, humor, health, technology, travel, and lifestyle articles. I pride myself on being concise while using a unique style and appealing to readers. For that reason, I believe I can handle any topic you need articles written on. I have been writing for years and have been doing paid freelance writing for the past year and a half.

    I have been quite busy in the recent weeks but for the next few weeks I will have a lot of time to work on articles which is why I am offering my services now.

    My rates are extremely flexible however I generally prefer $0.02 to $0.03 per word at the base minimum depending on the type of article. Over time, as I prove myself to the employer, I do hope for increased payment for certain articles, especially for those with difficult topics requiring a lot of research. Price reductions will be given for large orders of articles.

    Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I have plenty of examples available and they can be e-mailed to you at any time for your reference.

    Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

    Regards,

    Brandon

    Brandon,

    Please PM me an article in both the hosting and lifestyle so that I can see your work. What is the average turn around for lets say 5 articles 500-700 words each???

    Why sell yourself short? There are markets that pay $1.00 a word and more! Eh, I guess it all depends on what value you place on your writing.

    Good luck with all you do.

    Hey perdrix,

    Depending on when they were assigned and of what complexity, usually within 3 days, shorter if on weekends.

    Would you please provide me with your e-mail address? That would make sending the articles and future discussion regarding them easier.

    Webwriter, I find $0.02 to $0.03 to be a competitive rate in most instances. I have never found a market that pays $1.00 a word.

    That is because people like you drive the market rates down. You don't take writing seriously because if you did you would not sell yourself short. Just because someone can piece words together into a sentence, it does not make them a writer.

    Bitter?

    Heck yes I am because I am so tired of people expecting to pay $2.00 an article as if that is a huge amount (rolls eyes) and I am even more tired of people accepting that.

    If you mean competitive as in who can offer the lowest rate then I guess you are right.

    3 cents a word...ha!

    You are really funny webwriter. I do take my writing very seriously, and that is why I try to get as many jobs as I can at a competitive rate.

    Anyway, anyone else interested?

    Trojanfan did some work for me (6 pages re-write) and he did a fine job. If anyone needs work done, hire him. I am in the process of updating my site with the new content right now. - Highly recommended.

    Daboss, still looking for a reply.

    Thanks Ron, feel free to contact me if you need any more work done.

    I still have plenty of time to do more writing if anyone else needs work done.

    im definetely interested in getting content writters that can write articles on fashion related topics..

    ie. history on specific fashion trends, designers, labels, periods etc...

    can you do it? and im looking at ~US$7-8 per 600 word article.. Im looking at hundreds of articles over a long period of time

    Liquid, sorry but fashion is probably not the best choice. Also, $7-8 per 600 words is a ridiculously low price.
