Buying Article Creation and Article Ideas (Linkbait)

    I posted this last week and I got a couple of fantastic writers and some awesome articles but I need MORE! Last thread is here with feedback from one of the writers.

    Lets face it, content writers are two a penny. I need content that is not rammed full of keywords but articles that are compelling and will make people want to link to them (linkbait). So if you are an excellent writer but can also think of some thought provoking or amusing ideas for the articles you will be well paid. Our industry is "Web Hosting".

    Please PM with your offers. If you can think of one good idea please PM me that idea and if I like it I will pay you to write it at your rate plus an "Idea Fee" of $50.

    The well is deep. If you have good ideas and can keep writing, I'll keep commissioning and publishing. No limit.

    Please make sure you understand the offer! I do not need standard keyword jammed articles. The article ideas must come from you!

    For instance these are terrible ideas:

    How to choose a web host.
    What is shared hosting?
    Windows hosting or Linux hosting?

    This type of article is available in a thousand forms on the internet. I need COMPELLING articles. Articles of INTEREST. Things that people will actually wanty to read, reprint, distribute and link to.

    PM me 5 or 10 articles ideas and if I like them or get inspiration from one and alter an idea a bit I will commission you to write it! Do not worry about me taking your ideas and running as I have 10 separate SEO projects and a company to run. I need great content writers working 24/7!

    Waiting in breathless anticipation for talented people to step up. Reme,ber I need ideas in your PM. If the PM doesn't include article ideas I will be deleting without a reply! I received about 20 such PMs last time so dpn't waste your time or mine!

    My iTrader grows daily as DPers do stuff for me daily. I love this place! :D

    Has anyone else written articles for this user?

    Edit: of course they have, he says so himself.

    This user had me come up with 10 ideas for articles. As the post above says, he will pay $50 for ideas and your rate for the article. Well, when it came time to write the article, he said money was flying out of his paypal account and could I just write the article for $50 and call it even. I said yes. Now I can't get my money at all. I have left him messages and he is avoiding me. I saw him online just a little while ago and sent him a message, no reply, then be was gone.

    People shouldn't misrepresent themselves. He said the well is deep. Looks to me like the well has dried up.

    And yes, the article was excellent. That is not the reason he is avoiding me. I don't know why, but I know it's very unprofessional. It won't do much good to leave him a negative itrader either, that will just subtract one from the big number he has. most people wanting to do business with him will just look at the numbers and go for it.

    Is anyone else not getting paid for their work done for this user?

    I gave some ideas but he took ages to respond and then he sent an email (after 1 week) and asked me to write a few. I smelled something fishy and did not deal with him. Good call there :)
