[Wanted] - Regular content writer, various topics

    Hi,

    I'm looking to hire a good content writer to produce articles on a regular basis covering a number of topics. There aren't many plans set in stone yet, though travel, computing and DIY are among three of the first topics, just to give you some idea of what I'm looking for.

    I will require a number of articles per week, which I will decide upon when I've chosen a writer and can determine how many I can afford given my budget and their rate of pay.

    These need to be good quality with relevant content and most importantly error-free. That doesn't just mean no squiggly lines in Word - I want something that reads and flows well. If you take ideas or quotes, I want them fully referenced using a standard referencing scheme. I don't mind you incorporating ideas of others, but at the same time I don't want them passed off as your own - It's bad for me and it will be worse for you.

    So, if you're interested, get in touch with a writing sample either here or via MSN/E-Mail at . I also want to know your name, age, location, rate and preferred method of payment at the very least. It would also be helpful if you could give some indication of average turnaround time. I'm a reasonable guy - I know things come up now and again and I will be flexible.

    Just as an additional note - Do NOT ask me my budget and do NOT ask me how much I want to pay per article. That is for me to decide when I get a few figures to play with.

    Finally, if you quote me less than a cent a word, I won't reply. Why? I want quality - I can't pay top dollar, but at the same time I'm not spending a buck an article and expecting a masterpiece. Past experience tells me that if you don't value your own work, neither will I, Google or most importantly site visitors.

    Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.

    John

    Thanks for all the responses so far, I've had more than I could have anticipated which is why I've not gotten back to many of you yet though I will do over the course of today.

    I will take applications for the rest of today before you can consider this request closed - I already have one or two people in mind so if you want to be considered, get your application in today.

    Unfortunately, in order to get to these handful of good responses, I've had to sift through many more where people simple have not read my entire post. I'm sorry to say that I will not be replying to those that have not fulfilled my request in the original thread - If they cannot be bothered to read a few paragraphs and follow simple instructions, I cannot be bothered to reply to them. It's as simple as that.

    Sorry to end this post on a bit of a sour note, I just wanted to clarify that I am not looking for a "Please hire me see this thread for details of my services" or a message on MSN asking me how to make money. Please don't waste my time or yours if you aren't serious.

    Thanks all,
    John

    It's a damn shame I didn't see this thread earlier! Finally...someone speaks out about all the Whores who want to sell articles for.000000005 cents a damn word!! And what amazes me..is how so many flock to receive such quality...Yes..I say that facetiously.

    To think that someone values quality..Oh my...My faith has been restored.

    John...I stand an applaud you!

    You seem to be one of the few that I have seen...that actually gets it..

    All the best...

    Gary

    Hi John,

    I have sent you a lengthy e mail telling you a bit about myself.

    I provided you with links to my published work on a website called Mind 1st and a link to my sailing blog.

    I hope all questions were answered.

    Thanks.

    Brian
