Looking for technical content writers

    I'm looking for a writer or two to help me with a variety of needs. My small company has been working on a web application to build client sites and includes functions such as CMS, Forums, Ecommerce, and other things. I need this system to be documented in a variety of way, including:

    1. Writing articles about how to use the administrative screens. For example, there is an admin screen to manage the articles of the site which can be displayed in their site in a variety of ways. There are many options that can be used to write and configure each article. If I or one of the other developers writes the article to help users with this page, it comes off too techie and needs to be written for a regular user, not a power developer.

    2. Write articles describing our product and all of its features. These need to be written in a way that would help sell our product to potential clients, and also help to make our site look professional. We write technical content, but we are not good at (nor have the time for) writing all the other types of content needed.

    3. Use our forum by posting about the system and asking questions about how to use it. I think it would be best to have 5 to 10 different writers posting in here to help build up a momentum for the forum and to help build up a confidence that we are actually a system people are using. Right now we have clients that pay us to build sites for them but the problem is that they always call or write emails about things and NEVER use our forum because the forum looks (and is) dead. We need to fix that, even if it means paying people to post in it for a while.

    Obviously, in order for a writer to be successful in these various needs, they would need to get to know the system. If you are interested in this work and we come to an agreement, we could set you up with your own site that you could use the admin pages on and build up an understanding of how to use it. If the first few articles you write for us work out well, you would have regular work from us month in and month out for at least a year and probably much longer as this type of work is a never ending effort.

    Please PM me for more details if you are interested.
