Hi, We are a hosting company looking for some good quality blog articles to post on our blog. These need to be related to web hosting, web design, content management systems and templates, that kind of thing. Here are some example articles to show the level we are looking for, they must be well written in proper English, if the articles that are delivered are good quality we would be looking to a long term agreement. http://preview.tinyurl.com/yewv2nc http://preview.tinyurl.com/ybzg56q http://preview.tinyurl.com/y452zxh We will pay $5 per article (~500 words), there is room to negotiate here if the articles are very good quality and depending how much editing we need to do before we can put them on our blog, so if you know you could do a good job but the price is not right please still get in touch. If you are interested in this please send: 1. Two titles of articles you would write for us (e.g. Five Useful Firefox Addons for Web Developers) 2. An example of your previous work (If you don't have anything we can check here then please send the opening paragraph of an article you would write for us so we can check the quality) - This is essential, if you don't provide any samples of your writing there is no need to apply I should add to this also that some SEO knowledge is good, the purpose of these articles will be to get them indexed and hopefully picking up natural links, so articles with attention grabbing headlines or searched for terms is a big plus. Please only reply if you have some knowledge of the web hosting/web design niche and think you can write articles similar in quality to the examples, thank you. Finally let me stress it is important that the writer is a native english speaker (or can write at a level that I can't tell the difference), this is for a UK audience so none of this "do the needful" is going to cut it I'm afraid, we are looking to develop a long term relationship with a writer here so if you fit the bill get in touch. Regards, Volex
Now here is a perfect example on how it is done, and I hope other buyers of content are taking notes! Volex, I do not have the time to take you on, but I had to post here and commend you on offering a fair job, at fair prices. Refreshing compared to some other WTB threads in here. I hope you find a kick ass writer, who will do an excellent job for you! Respect!
Thanks for the positive reply, if you do find yourself with time on your hands feel free to get in touch I'm still looking for a writer or two, unsurprisingly most of the applications haven't really read the initial post and are unsuitable, if you think you fit the bill please get in touch. Please also read the posts I linked to as these are the kind of articles we are after, here is another: http://preview.tinyurl.com/2bunb9s Some examples of topics we are after posts on also follow: WordPress, Magento, Drupal, Joomla, Web Browsers & Addons, Website Design & Optimisation, SEO, etc. Note we are NOT after articles such as "What is shared hosting" "Why we are the best host" or these kind of direct and in most cases purely spammy articles, we want articles to organically attract people because they are interested in what they are reading. Regards, Volex
Hi Volex! Thank you for this job offer. I will be sending you samples later today. I eagerly look forward to working with you and your company.
