Will Write for Food

Discussion in 'Content Creation' started by kc8ual, Sep 15, 2007.

  1. #1
    First off, I would like to think everyone who decided to click on this thread just to see what it was about.

    Now for the main attractions. I would firstly like to tell you all about me and who I am. I have always found that people enjoy knowing a little about who they may be making any type of various deals.

    My Name is Nicholas Clark. I am a 27 year old American who decided to live life on the wild side so I packed one tiny suitcase and bought a one-way ticket to the Philippines. I have been here in the Philippines since 2005, an since that date that I arrived two years ago, I have been married to a beautiful Filipina, crashed a motorcycle at over 90 kilometers per hour, and my wife gave birth to our first child, a girl, three months ago.

    Now in the Philippines, there is basically a law that states that a foreigner cannot work. Well actually it says that a foreigner cannot do a job in which a Filipino is capable of undertaking. This pretty much means, that unless I am a rocket scientist, there are no jobs for me here.

    I have been doing several online jobs over the last few years just to make ends meet, but I have decided to go much farther than that cause I want to buy a new car. Actually a pick-up truck made by Suzuki that is only 660 cc, but it is cheap.


    OK, well I guess that is enough of my ego trip and talking about who I am and where I am from. Now comes the fun part of announcing what I am offering...

    Content Creation

    I am offering to write articles for you at an extremely low, never heard of before price. Well, atleast I hope it is never been heard of. :eek:

    1-300 words = $0.009 per word
    300-500 words = $0.008 per word


    Bulk Orders (any order of 10 or more articles)

    10 + Articles @ 1-300 words = $0.008 per word
    10 + Articles @ 300-500 words = $0.0075 per word


    Forum Posting

    I will also do forum postings, but please PM me with your offer per post.

    Rules

    Now I have some guidelines or rules, whatever you would like to call them.

    1 I can only accept Money Bookers (if you can only pay with Pay Pal, then you can still offer, but you will have to pay through Xoom.com)

    2 Most of you want to see samples, but to take care of this issue, here is what I will do.

    You PM me with your order, I will send you, your first article as the sample, but you are still paying for it if you plan on using it

    Thats right, this is a little game of trust, you trust me that I will do a good job and give me the work, and in exchange, I will trust you by giving you the first article up front.

    So, once you have PM me with your order, I will get you a "sample" as quick as I can. Once you have the sample, you will have 24 hours to decide if you want to keep it and continue with the order, or move on. At this point, you will then have to pay 50% of the total up front and the remaining when you get the full order.

    Ok, so everyone has that? You PM me with your order, I reply with a total for all as well as with the "Sample". If you choose to continue with the order, you will pay 50% up front and the remainder when I am finished.

    I will not do keyword densities so DO NOT ASK. All my work will be 100% unique and hand written. They will pass Copy Scape without question. When you give me a topic, the article will automatically average 3-4% but there is no guarantee on an exact density. If I were to accept them, it would end up making my hard work look like crap, then someone will always complain and it is a big mess, so I will not be doing it.

    As I do not know how many order I will be getting, this will be a first come first serve and I will close this thread as soon as I have as much orders as I can handle.

    Topics

    I already know people are going to ask me if I can do this topic or that topic, so I will make it easier by telling you the type of articles that I will not be doing.

    1) Clothing
    2) Fashion
    3) AdSense or AdSense Alternatives
    4) Hair/Beauty
    5) Real Estate (not including Travel, Travel is not real-estate it is travel:p)


    I think that covers the topics I hate. Anything else is pretty much fair game. That includes babies, cars, bikes, computers, games, internet and all the other topics other than those which I listed above.

    I believe I have covered all the possibilities of questions, but if I have not covered your question, PM me and I will update this post.

    I am not setting a word limit on this special due to the fact that based on the orders' word counts and topics, I may be able to take more or less orders. When I feel I am coming close to what I feel I can handle in a reasonable time, I will stop taking orders. I have always found that if I were to let that last order to be made, it will be a big order that is mixed topics and ends up overloading me.

    OK, that should cover it all, so without further ado (it is ado and not adieu, as adieu means good-bye and ado means fuss or trouble), I hereby open this thread to orders.

    Best Regards and good luck,

    Nick

    Yes, that I can write about without even having to think about it. The only places I have not been in the Philippines is down by Zamboagna, due to the possibility of "International Incidents" :p

    I am glad to know a little about you...thats very nice.

    I am surprised we don't have that employment law here int he US...I have no doubt Oklahoma would pass it in a heartbeat if given the chance LOL

    I have a challenge for you...I've given these topics (and others like them) to at least 5 other DP members to write about....none have been able to produce even a rough draft of ONE topic. I am willing to buy multiple articles, short or long...if you can write on any of these topics:



    sustainable furniture


    fair trade (labor practices) shopping



    green business



    carbon offsetting



    green guilt



    cost of going green



    many of uses of industrial hemp


    I can PM you details on any of the topics you are interested in.

    Nick,

    Good luck to you in your writing career. I hope you get a ton of jobs. Of course, Fillipinos can write so are you breaking the law:D

    I will keep your post on file and if I need a writer in your mentioned categories, I will call on you.

    Again, good luck.

    Tom:)

    P.S. Several of my Air Force buddies truly loved the PI with some of them living in country.

    Ahhh... Going green... love them, the cost of electric is too costly for my blood here, so I have a half green house, you should see the set-up.

    So lets see, Your topics that I can do:

    green business
    many of uses of industrial hemp

    Quick question on one though... sustainable furniture... does that mean living furniture? I am picturing in my head, a bench of sorts, that is made of live bamboo shoots.

    If that is the same concept, then you can include that one as well :)

    As I stated before, If it is not in the list on my initial post, then I can probably do it.

    P.S. The Philippine electric companies will not buy the electric back, thats why I can only do a partial off grid system, that and the fact that my yard and roof is too small to power my house :)

    I would love to see how you live off the grid...really would. I saw a report about a man in China who recycled beer bottles by attaching them to his roof to heat his water for his family..

    Fantastic, we will have to share some green info later, so I take it you would like for me to write on those topics:

    green business
    many of uses of industrial hemp
    sustainable furniture (my house has all bamboo furniture it very cheap :))

    Send me a PM with all the info and we can get the ball rolling on these


    An article to entrance the populous to a site that sells domain names... I am sure I can handle that. You will have to PM me the details and we can go from there.

    Thank you Tom. Yes, the Philippines had the highest reenlist rate of any US base around the world :D I am paying my taxes to the US not the Philippines, so therefore, I have no problems.

    Thank you everyone so far that has responded, I already have 3 orders in, I am still taking more though. It is 4:15 AM here and almost time for bed.

    And by the way, if you are going to use Xoom to pay by PayPal, it is preferred that you pay the whole thing at once cause paying fees twice is a pain.

    Also, I need emails if you are ordering so I can send you the first article as a "sample"

    I'll take a couple on photography related topics:

    1. Maybe start with 500 words on Tripods:
    - Why should you use them
    - How do you pick a good one.

    2. I can give you extra topics once I've seen the sample.

    I know you have listed your topics, but I thought I'd ask anyways. :)
    Would you be interested writing about car repairs, maybe some how-toes and DIYs. If interested let me know.

    I have owned several cars, from Fords to Mazdas. I even had one car that a Haynes Manual was not available for. I prefer doing the repairs myself when possible. As long as their is no need for crank turning, this is not much of an issue. Basic and common repairs from alternators to water pumps.

    My favorite, how to port and polish the head of a Ford 300 straight-six. Car repairs are a definite.

    I replied to your PM. Technology is a very broad subject. It can range anywhere from the latest designs and innovations in a wide variety of topics, most of which are not even computer or electronic related.

    Torrent Articles? Are we talking about the torrent P2P software itself, or articles on things that can be downloaded. Just asking for clarity, but I can do both. I may have lived in the Philippines for the last couple years, but all these things exist here :D More so than living State-Side, because here, I have access to the Japanese electronics that the US will not allow to be imported.

    I hope I got everyone. As I stated before, its not a matter of knowledge as most things are also available on the internet. I will not write about the topics stated in my original post. Not because I can't, but because I just won't. Everything else is fair game. And if I cannot find it on the internet, it does not exist :)

    I have 3 orders now, that 3 days worth of work, lets see if we can get some more.

    Hi Nicholas,

    I am a big buyer of good original content. I have an appetite for 500 to 1000 articles per month :) But, I do not transact with new DP members. Nothing personal, but this is the result of MANY bad experiences :)

    I am posting in your thread to let you know that I like all of what you have written so far. If your enthusiasm, quality, and prices remain in the region of what they are right now. Please contact me in Dec or later, and I will try to set you up with some bulk orders :)

    Thanks :)

    I will definitely contact you towards December.

    Although I may be a newer member to DP, I have been writing for various members for the last 3 months, doing full-time type work. As far as the prices go, as long as the exchange rate in the Philippines remains constant, Prices will not be changing anytime soon.

    Thanks Ajeet,

    You can expect to be hearing from me in 3 months or so.
