do you accept not get paid after completing the work ?

hi i want to ask you a question
do you accept if some one told you
write to him articles about specfic keyword
and he will share the profit with you ?
he will buy domains and creat sites and do the seo and every thing else
do you accept this ?

 

Why wouldn't you just do it yourself?

Sounds more like a partnership and you have to decide if the work load is equal. Also do they expect more articles on a regular basis? Most important part would be spelling it out. If you can survive grilling each other over the finer points you might be able to make it work.

 

I would have to know them very well to be able to trust that the provide an honest reporting of the income; otherwise I wouldn't do it.

 

I will never accept that kind of deal unless i know the person.

Also its a same method guy is selling here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1271686

 

yes i took a review copy and me too will never accept

i just want to give honest review as i donot think any one will accept to do this

 

I just wanted to chime in. I won't accept anything like profit sharing in exchange for articles UNLESS it is with a company like AC. For private clients, it has to be either upfront or pay after review.

 

I only accept this kind of deal
if i know him personally and have trust
other wise it doesn't make sense

 

I had once similar proposal of such partnership. Someone made a webmaster forum and asked me to help him promote it. He had believe he'll earn $20,000 every month from AdSense and he promised me to pay half of his earnings (just for helping in promotion and bringing new members). However I couldn't promote something I don't believe that will be successful (it would be just lost of time). I gave him tips what he should change in his forum (damn ugly amateurish layout and so on) but he was deaf on my proposals. After all he was able to grab only 12 inactive members while 5 months and then he just dissapeared. NEVER SUCH A DEALS WITH STRANGERS

 

Most beginners webmasters tend to exaggerate or overestimate the traffic their sites will receive. I will clearly exclude those from any revenue sharing deal. On the other hand, many sites with plenty of traffic can offer you a great deal as long as you don't have a high-ranked site. It is better to have your articles getting thousands of views than to sell them for a couple of bucks.

 

unless you can meet the person face to face or talk by phone then don't take the deal because by hearing their voice and the way they talk you can tell what kind of a person they are and if you will able to work with them.

 

I don't accept such offers, because if you are confident that you will succed you are willing to invest some money.

 

The keyword here is TRUST. Do you know the person? How is their reputation in the place you know him or her from?

I've been on both sides of the equation and frankly, when the deal really works out, it works out pretty well. I've written articles and have gotten articles with profit sharing in mind.

I moved on after flipping a couple of sites as it takes too much of my time writing articles for nothing upfront. As far as being the guy who will setup the site is concerned, it is nice to have someone take care of the content and SEO while I provide the hosting etc. and handle the tech side of things (setting up pages, tracking traffic etc.).

If you can work out a deal with someone you know well, it can work wonders. Don't expect a fortune but decent income is a definite yes.

No. I would not.

 

Buy the domains yourself, and write and post yourself. But if he is well known marketer with lot of contacts, then you can work for a share of the profit generated by selling the domains and not get paid upfront for writing. Otherwise you and him are on the same boat.

 

i've been approached several times for a deal like this.

after many attempts, i tried to give it a try. within one hour, the dude was on my back asking for the content.

after that, never again.

 

Definately not unless if you're have some pleasure losing your time and work.

Even if it's a relative or a friend, you could get kicked out of the deal at any time. You're not running the business, he or she is. You're just helping with the content but they have control of everything, including earnings.

 

I've been a professional full time writer for 5 years now, but started part time with my own blogs and websites years before that. I know how difficult it is to make money online, and I also know that domains and hosting are very cheap, so I never accept a profit sharing arrangement.

 

It is very imp to know the person first. His/her past details is important. Get to know from him/her in what way they can be useful to you. Ask them why are they doing it for you after all. If you get a satisfactory answer then i think you can go ahead. Even if there is a small element of uncertainty, it will be good if you don't go ahead.

 

Absolutely not. If you're doing all the writing and he's setting up blogs - then that's not a 50/50 share of the work load.

Set up your own blogs. Write your own articles. Promote the blog and get some ads up on the sites.

If that guy wants your articles - then ask for an up-front payment instead.

 

No. I don't really want to be an investor in someone else's enterprise. I'm either a paid contractor, or I invest in my own sites.
