New Content Writer: Ludi Kundera

    I’m a poor, poor student who has recently stumbled upon the lucrative world of content writing! Because I write a lot (of reviews, criticism, news, opinion pieces, fiction), I figure I’ve gotten half-decent at it, and could sure use the extra money that content writing can bring in. I don't know how I stack up against other content writers, but I think you'll be happy with my work. As a bonus, it’s good research-and-writing practice! Therefore, without further ado, here follow the important particulars:


    Services & Rates

    ** All rates in Canadian dollars **

    ** All payments in Amazon.ca gift certificates **

    Articles:

    200 words = $5
    300 words = $6
    400 words = $8
    500 words = $10

    and so on…

    In case you’re wondering, this translates to about: $0.018 USD per word, with a $5 minimum.

    Other Services

    I’ll also consider any proofreading, editing, copywriting, and original graphic-design work you may have, but can’t quote any prices at the moment. Leave a PM if you’re interested, and we can work something out.


    Terms of Service

    1) All my articles are belong to you!

    I’m not sure how it’s usually done, but when you get an article from me, it’s yours -- you wrote it. Hence, you may do with it as you please: rip it apart, put it back together in unique and interesting ways, eat it, sell it, use it.

    2) Payment only accepted in Amazon.ca gift certificates

    There are two reasons for this: I don’t like PayPal; and I want to force myself to spend any money I make on important things, like school books. On the buyer’s side, I don’t think there should be a problem. Gift certificates are simple to purchase, and can be sent via email. They can be ordered in any amount between $5 and $5000.

    3) Cash on delivery, and only COD. No trout.

    You pay only after you get the articles, and only if you consider them satisfactory. I think that’s a fair deal.


    Contact Me

    Write me a PM on the forum if you’d like to buy my services. Please include the article topic, the number of articles, their lengths, and a deadline.



    Thanks,
    Ludi Kundera

    No, I don't have any examples. I've never done content writing before. If you'd like examples of other types of writing, then I do have some.

    Because I don't charge until I've finished the work -- and you decide that you like what I've done -- I don't think samples are vital. Instead, I can write the specific articles that you want, and you can treat those as samples, which you can, but do not have to, use.

    I'll also accept gift certificates (called "Virtual Credit") for Powell's Books (Powells.com).

    Two things.

    1) So when you say $5, you mean Canadian dollars? ('cause they aren't worth quite as much as a US dollar, so your rates are actually cheaper than they appear!).

    2) Would you take on work for any subject whatsoever? Do you have any 'specialisms'?

    Thanks

    I changed my "pay policy". The new one's on the website (a few posts up, or in my signature). It goes a little somethin' like this:

    I accept payment through Amazon.ca or Powell's, in the form of gift certificates. If you pay through Amazon.ca, the rates are in Canadian dollars. If you pay through Powell's, the rates are USD.

    I can handle most subjects. If you're wondering if I'll write on "subject x", chances are that I will -- but PM or email to make sure. Once I do a little bit more work, I think I'll be able to tell which subjects I'm better at writing.

    Thanks for asking.

    Now offering a Press Release service!

    Visit the Wordshoppe website for rates and samples (if you'd like).

    As a bonus, the site's also a bit more transparent now. Boo to graphics. Boo-oooo.

    :)

    Have you heard? the WordShoppe now offers a poetry writing service!

    Be the first kid on your block with a haiku 'bout melanoma,
    the first bee in your hive with a royal cheap insurance sonnet.

    :cool:
