I'm looking to hire writer with good understanding of gadgets electronics for large assignments (10,000s of words) long term work. If you are interested, please PM me with 200 sample on the following topic: "Toshiba NB505-N508BL review -pros & cons". Article need to be written with high level of technical detail. This sample is mandatory. Also include links to your past writing work and desired price per word. I will not compensate for the sample. This is non-negotiable. However I will not use the sample anywhere and it will be more than made up for by the volume of actual work.
Depends what your budget is. Im not writing a free test sample if your going to come back telling me I'm the lucky candidate and then offering $1 per 100 words.
Believe it or not, plenty of writers provide free samples (and I've been around DP much longer than you have). I never use samples for anything other than author evaluation. And unfortunately pre-written work is not enough to select good candidates. If you don't provide free samples, it is your choice. As I've written before - this is non-negotiable. As far as work volume is concerned. First order will be 2,000 words. You can consider it paid sample. Because if that goes well - I have 10,000 words of topics lined up and ready to go this second. If that goes well - then there is much more work down the road. Probably more than you can write since I already employ several writers full-time. PS: forgot to mention one more thing - I only work with individual writers directly, no teams or agencies please.
Suit yourself. Do you really think that 200 word sample is worth screwing people over? I don't do that. There isn't much you can do with 200 words SEO wise. I've already received plenty of samples and hired one person. Their sample was converted into part of the first task. However I still have more work than writers so if you haven't sent in your sample already it's not too late. Another possible sample topic is: ASUS Eee PC 1001PXD-EU17-BK review. If you have already started sample on the original netbook model - don't worry and finish it. If you are selected I'll find a way to use that content as well. As far as payment is concerned I never set prices myself. I always let writers set an asking price which I either accept or reject based on their sample quality. Of course there are samples that I wouldn't accept even for free. First and foremost I'm looking for good quality.
What happened??? you didnt reply to my article which was recently submitted... how long are you supposed to take and check on that
khfaroo, Sorry about that - I had personal business come up and completely fell off the grid for last few days. I'll send you feedback shortly. BTW, although I've already contracted a few writers, I'm still looking for more, so if you are interested please keep these samples coming.
