Buying Full Time Technology Rewriter Needed

    I would like to hire a new full time technology writer for our team. The hours don't matter but would need a full shift performed between Mon-Fri, no weekend work.

    You would be rewriting articles. I can show you where to find the articles, but you will find your own articles and rewrite them.

    If interested, please provide your fee for a full months work. Please don't quote a fee per article as I'm not looking for this service and you will not get a response.

    Thanks

    You must have a ballpark figure in mind though?

    I know you are not looking for 40 hour a week employee, but could you explain a little further, like how many articles we would write daily, how long they should be approximately.
    Since the description is a little vague, its hard to put a price tag on the job, when you don't want to hear a rate per article, and we don't have enough info on how much time we would spend daily.

    Kind of a catch 22 :)

    Hi Kraven2,

    Thanks for your questions. I am actually looking for 40 hours a week. As to the number of articles, it is hard to say because some articles will be short, some long, but I am looking for someone that can honestly put in 40 hours a week and provide a quote for this number of hours. FYI - most articles on the site are 300 - 700 words depending upon the topic.

    In that case I would say you would be looking at roughly $ 350 to $ 400 a week at the least, and that's only charging $ 10 per hour, which is pretty much the minimum wage. If you would want to make it interesting I'd say $ 500 would be a good price for a 40 hour workweek.

    Kraven2 has summed it up pretty well actually. That is the minimum anyone should be looking for. Consumer technology is a pretty fast moving industry and keeping track of it is a lot of hard work.

    I would like around $375 a week or $1500 per month but will agree to do it only if the payment is on daily basis ie 75$ a day.

    Thank you, that's all I can ask for. Please allow me to also commend you on your professionalism in this thread.
    I may have come across a little harsh, but that is due to the offers we normally see here, from buyers posting hot air.

    I can see now you are far above that type and it is refreshing to see the real deal on here for a change.

    So whatever you decide or consider, for your behavior I want to commend you, as it is an example others can take notice of to see how it is done.

    Respect!
