Selling Native English Speaking Article Writer Seeks Ongoing Work

    In the past I have taken on projects of 100 articles a week and delivered well within the time constraints and to my clients' specific needs. I have written with keyword density in mind, with an audience in mind, and even with a specific style in mind. I've been asked to write articles that have more 'character' to them, that contain 'lists' much like those posted in various blogs, and articles that are similar in fashion (what is now known as 'spun') to be posted to various web 2.0 properties. Whatever my clients have required, I have delivered.

    I am now offering my services again to 1-2 new clients. I can guarantee that each and every article will be unique and well researched if necessary. If a subject is too obscure to be research, I will indeed return the request back to you; we cannot write on anything that has too little information to be written on!

    The number of clients will be based on how many articles per week you will require. We are looking for weekly work and will only consider bulk orders at the moment. By 'week', we do mean a full 7-day week; if you require orders within a 5-day workweek, we can talk price and turnaround time in PM.

    So I offer to you two options:

    1. 25 articles/week, 400 words, dynamic title, written to your specification: $150
    2. 50 articles/week, 400 words, dynamic title, written to your specification: $275

    At the moment, I am capping the orders at 50/week to assure that the articles are of decent quality and meet the specifications of the client. We can indeed take on more, but I'd rather ease back into a larger weekly requirement rather than starting full force.

    Payments are to be made via paypal. I will show you the articles and request payment before sending the files over to assure that we both get what we need; you get your articles, and I get paid. This type of gig works best if we can be given the list of keywords/niches/subjects/focal points and requirements at the beginning of each batch rather than sporadically throughout the week.

    We know how DP operates and how everyone will expect a review copy so to appease the masses, I will offer a single review package to a reputable member who requires a large amount of articles. You must have a decent post count and I-trader and have been registered on this forum for at least 6 months.

    But! You cannot expect people to work for free nowadays guys; that is beyond wrong. I don't care how you 'package' your freeloading desires (review/interested party/test); I would just as soon not pick up any clients from DP than work for free. There are indeed other venues that will appreciate a paid review.

    That being said, I will offer a discount of $25 off the 25 article package and $50 off the 50 article package for one person only. OR, if two people go for the 25 article package before one goes for the 50 article package, two people can have the $25 off rate.


    Regarding my rates: I will not alter them in this thread. If we feel we need to raise the rates, we will close this thread and start a new one altogether. The rates as noted right now are below bargain value as is for what you are getting though. Privately, I charge $10-15 per article. No joke (if you want to know how--check out Elance; they have many companies willing to pay for decent writing). I'm offering the rates that I am offering now as a 'summer discount' (yet if you still wish to remain a client after the summer, I will honor the rates you start with; after the summer, I will have to reevaluate the rates and if we will continue our service here on DP).

    Turnaround time is 7 days regardless of the package; if you require a shorter period, please do PM me! I am flexible in scheduling and if you get your order in first, you have a better chance of getting the articles done quicker.

    Again, payment does not have to be made until the articles are completed, but I will not send the articles until payment is made (I assure you that I will show you proof of completed articles prior to requesting payment though).

    Edited to Add: Please allow at least 8-12 hours for us to reply to any PMs you may make; our time zone may be different than yours, but we will get around to any serious inquiries as soon as humanly possible.

    Hi, I am not sure if you missed the point of the post or not, but it is I who is seeking work. Regardless, I only have this thread open because I actually have some free spots available so I don't need extra team members at this time either--apologies.

    An update on the review copies: 1 slot has been taken for the 25 article run so 1 more 25 article run can be taken for review if anyone is at all interested. I hope to maintain a turnaround time that is faster than quoted in this thread, but if not, I hope the guy who is taking the first review package will stop by to leave an honest review once I do deliver his articles to him.
