How to get me to avoid your PM?

    if u write lik dis and expect me to respond to a PM regarding a WTB about finding a high-quality writer, then you're horribly mistaken.

    I don't understand why it's so hard for writers to understand that you have to sell yourself and your skill set first. I don't care if you're writing for next to nothing - I don't want to work with you if you can't compose a proper PM.

    lol that's one side of the coin. What is more funny - funny as in peculiar - are buyers who insist on excellent English but can't write a proper ad themselves. Makes me wonder how they are going to judge what constitutes excellent English.

    I would not hire myself. I think if you're a writer/content writer I would expect you have correct writing even in your posts because this will probably be the first thing that I do to check all you previous posts.

    Yes, definitely. Many will just copy from a saved template or write it in a rush. They don't understand first impression? Or they are just that ignorant? Nevertheless they believe they can carefully write a good article.. Really contradictory.

    Tell me about it, it is so hard to find good writers, I used to only hire US writers but still got tempted to buy work from others just because they offered very cheap rate... got bitten every time.
