Looking For Someone To Build A Site...

    Hello,

    I want someone to build my wordpress site for me, with a unique wordpress theme. This is what I'm looking for, exactly:

    - Unique wordpress template/header.
    - XML Sitemap generated and submitted to the top search engines automatically.
    - Linking to my site and articles.

    This should be pretty easy for someone who knows what he's doing. Who can give me a reasonable offer?

    Also:

    If you can handle the designing part but cannot do any of the linking tasks... no problem. I'd still like to hear from you.

    Looking forward to reading your reactions.

    Thanks!

    lolll, good luck.
    That's a ton of work there buddy. I'd never do that for less than $200,
    and that's if I had more than 3 friends on digg haha.
    If someone willing to even come close to this offer, PM me and let me know about it cos I'll have you building niche mini sites until the cows come home.

    Lol, well... this was/is actually an offer here on DP. And yes, I know it's some work, my friend. Why you think I am checking if others do this?

    Anyway, for the skeptics I did update my post to the original thread. So you know I am not talking BS.

    If not, no prob.

    Anyway:

    I am open for any reasonable offer, if that wasn't clear enough. It doesn't have to be the same cheap price as these guys are offering. I just want to see who can offer what here.

    Thanks.

    I am going to have to agree with mr. T. I will do all of it for 40 but without the articles(no one in their right mind should do that) "1,500 - 2,000 words of unique content spread over 4-5 articles" What is the demographic anyway?

    I am likely not futzing with Digg either but most of the rest of the list I can do quickly.

    Search engine submission died about 5 years ago. All you need is a google site map and you will be on your way. When you manually submit a website it takes damn near 8 months to get listed.

    Nigel

    Edit: You write stuff anyway ;)

    I evolved, my friend ;). Still write stuff... but usually salescrap :)

    FYI: you can see the original thread. I linked to it. Because I do not want to get more reactions like that. I just want serious offers. So if you have a serious offer... PM me.

    As I said to Dimak:

    I don't mind about their features. I just want to see what others have to offer. And what their prices are. And I also corrected the way I asked for this service, so that THAT becomes clear.

    You are right: I do not need the search engine submission because it does more harm then good. I must be honest that I read too quickly to see it was in that list. The linking is more then enough to get picked up, naturally.

    Wow,

    That is too much work for little pay. Why should I spend hours and even weeks doing research for pennies? There are two sayings in the business world:

    "You get what you pay for."

    "Time is Money."

    I hate sales copy as well.. Like I said, I will do it, less the following:

    1. Keyword rich and unique articles. You can verify each and every page/article via CopyScape. no way I am writing your copy.

    2. - 1,500 - 2,000 words of unique content spread over 4-5 articles. This is the same as above or nonsensically redundant.

    3. A Digg submission and a Digg Shout to 2,000 friends (via 2 Digg accounts) for each and every post..!! Uh not without the demographic.

    "PPS. If the person who wants to do this also has some plugin that gives me more freedom in writing my articles, then it would be great. I'd like, for instance, an extra function that allows me to decide how big I want the headline, how big the font sizes in between should be, the colour, the specific fonts I'd like to use, highlighting options, etc"

    To do that you click the hide>show kitchen sink button. It's built into wordpress.

    Please read the PS, too. Maybe it'll clear things up on what I'm really looking for.

    What IS your offer. That's really my question.

    Thanks!

    Are you looking for well written content? If yes, I can develop this project for you. However, time is money. My price is $3500 for the entire project that you are asking for.

    I have no problem showing off my work.

    Actually, I love writing salescopy :). So that is not a problem.

    I do not care about the articles, perse, either. Because I doubt that you, or even the person who was offering that service in teh first place, could write it any better as the person who'll write the articles for me now.

    I'm just waiting what others offer for the next days, until I get the articles. If I don't see any better offers (not only talking about cheaper... but also the quality of the offer being made), then I'll definitely go for you.

    BTW. do you have examples of sites you did?

    @ Razsports: Rather not. I Write Stuff. And I got that part handled. I am open for reasonable offers, not unreasonable. Thanks for your time.

    Man you can set you watch by how fast this thread went south lol...

    @razsports You struck me as the only other logical figure in this thread until you posted that. 3500 dollars for 2 hours work is crazy beyond my professional assertions.

    Hi Nigel Lew,

    Well, it was my understanding that 4-5 articles are asked to be written in a professional manner. Each article is to be unique in content. Well, that is both time and work.

    iwritestuff ,

    My asking price included the articles to be written. I see you edited this post. My asking price now goes down based on your new thread.

    Yes, you are correct. It was however, in the confines of 2000 or so words spread out across 4-5 articles. Which is not worth 3500 dollars including the other stuff and the wordpress install which takes about 5 minutes.

    Well, I swore the first message was asking for 1500-2000 words per article.
    That would be lots of work.

    Then you swore wrong. If I have to judge your writing skills by your reading skills... I would never ask you ;). Not that I would now.

    Moreover:

    Even if it was that much, then it would still be a days work. I doubt that you make that much in a day.

    I was qouting another offer, here on DP. I even linked to it. And that offer was 1500 to 2000 words for 4 to 5 articles.

    Thanks Nigel, for your advise until now. As discussed in the PM, I am thinking about your offer. It looks and sounds very good. And you have a professional operation going on there, for sure. Does give a secure feeling.
