    I need someone to write 3 articles a week (not all on the same day) about the current day's PS3 news. These articles may draw on other sources, however you must reference the source. I am looking for each article to be between 300 to 600 words a piece.

    The duties are specifically:
    1) Check out the days PS3 news and find the most interesting bit of information, whether it's a game release, product info, problem, etc.
    2) Read the article and get a good understanding of what the news is.
    3) Use the resources I give you to find other articles which cover the same information from a different slant
    4) Paraphrase, and uniquely present the information in a format that is dissimilar to the articles you are referencing.
    5) Reference your sources (simple include the URLs of your sources)
    6) Post the content (you'll be give a Wordpress login)
    7) Only write an article once a day, no more than days a week.

    I will give you the resources to easily find all the latest PS3 news, all you need to do is 3 times a week follow the above steps and produce a quality, original article based on your sources.

    This position will start out as a temp position, but if you do well, it will become permanent.

    3 articles a week, equals 12 articles a month. Please give me a bid on how much you charge. Payment is by Paypal only.

    ONLY RESPOND IF YOU INTEND TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND WORK AT LEAST 1 ENTIRE MONTH.

    Thanks to everyone who responded in this thread or via PM. Unfortunately the bids have all been too high at this point. If you'll look in this thread that I started: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=112424

    You'll see that when I content write for other people, these are the rates that I charge:

    upto 250 words : $2.00
    upto 500 words : $3.50
    upto 750 words : $5.50

    This is the ballpark range that I am looking for. I'm not looking for perfection or a lot of time spent on these articles, I'm just looking for some quick, briefly researched articles. If your giving me decent material I'll be glad to pay you.
