Hello all, First of all, let me point out that this job is not suitable for anyone who is not completely fluent in the English language. You do not need to be a native speaker, but your English must be at a very high level; you must show a perfect grasp of the language, you must have a big vocabulary and the texts you produce must have a bit of a flair to them. What I am looking for is a set of articles on the topic of volunteering. These articles will include, but are in no way limited to: Helpful traveling information Safety tips Organisation reviews (ONLY if you have volunteered for the organisation in question! Country safety information What you will be expected to do is think of a topic within the heading of Volunteering, where you believe that you can produce a high calibre article that will be of actual use to volunteers. There is no limit to the number of articles I will accept, and pay will be discussed depending on the quality of your work, the length of the article and the number of articles produced. If you believe that you have what it takes, and if you have a good idea as for a topic to write about, please do get in touch. People who have, or are going to, volunteer (internationally or locally) are especially welcome to get in touch. Finally, please note that I will be accepting articles until September 1st - AND NO PAYMENT WILL BE SENT UNTIL THAT DATE, this is due to the nature of the projects financing. You will not be expected to deliver your article until that date, but will be informed immediately if your proposed article topic is wanted. If so, you have until the 1st to write it, any article submitted after this date may or may not be accepted. Payment may not be delivered until 24h after the submission of your article (which must pass copyscape) and we retain the right to decline your article if it is not of the required standard. For more information, please get in touch. EDIT: To clarify; the rates of pay will be very competitive. If your article is of superb standard you will be rewarded with a bonus of up to 100%. Previous volunteers who write reviews of the organisation they went to are eligible for a higher rate of pay. EDIT2: One further note which I forgot to mention previously - if I find a writer of sufficient quality, there will be many future opportunities to write articles for this as well as other projects.
Quick update: I have received a fair bit of interest, but I still want more people to get in touch! Therefore I shall clarify the details further: Payment: payment for any accepted article will start at a minimum of $1.50/100 words. Interesting article ideas will be rewarded with a further $0.50/100words and articles of superb quality and interest will earn as much as $3.00/100words! Length: The article length we are seeking is 100-500 words per article. If we are sent an article idea which we believe deserves extra space, this is negotiable. Quality: Extremely high quality of writing and content is essential! We are not looking for keyword rich content aimed at being SEO optimised, what we want is quality content that will be of value to our visitors. Quantity: There is no limit to how many articles you can submit and get paid for. Just remember that we must agree to your suggested theme before you start writing, else you may not get paid. What we are looking, and paying, for: Please remember that we will not supply you with a set article to write. What we are paying for is your creativity! It is up to you to come up with a good article theme which is related to the keyword: Volunteering. It needs not be international volunteering, all forms of volunteering are of keen interest. If you are unsure, get in touch. Further opportunities: May very well be available in various fields, if not now then certainly in the future, to writers who submit articles of particularly high quality! Final note on Language: We are looking for a semi-formal style of writing which will appeal to people between the ages of 18 and 28, most of which will be university students. Wit is welcomed. Do not use an excessive amount of academic language, but do show a good vocabulary. No curse words what so ever.
