Read this first: I need this today else please don't reach me since its too late for me. If you are able to get this done within next 1-2hrs contact me. I will give you a website and i need a content based on that site.. Work is not huge and someone expert should be able to do it asap. Reach me and we will discuss. Feel free to drop me skype id.
Sorry, First ask for work details, agree on work, decide on payment terms and then deliver! Bad way to kick off a discussion.
I really can't get what's so bad about asking that question. Any writer applying for any job here will FIRST be interested to know what the pay being offered is. There's no point in carrying the discussion on if there's going to be a disagreement on the pay factor ultimately. In fact, by asking the question firstly and directly, the poster is saving both of you a lot of time which seems quite valid as you URGENTLY need that content.
Absolutely agree with Content Maestro! Otherwise, you could waste 10 minutes discussing the work and then disagree over the payment.
