Paying Writing Assignments for Authors

Are you interested in paying writing assignments? If so, please read on because I'm looking for talented writers to assist me on several projects.

 

Content available on the Web today ranges from bad to worse and in some instances, it is getting harder to find information with any value. Google and the other search engines are penalizing Websites that use duplicate content. They are also looking to track how long visitors stay on a Website and further penalize sites if visitors continuously leave too quickly. This will be a new barometer to measure the value of the content.

 

There is a market for well-written articles and I’m contacting authors who subscribed to my Authorpreneur e-zine to ask if you are interested in working on various writing assignments.  If so, the following are the details:

  • Target audience: Web readers interested in learning more about certain niche topics. They already know about the topic however, they are looking for more detailed information.

  • Each assignment will be:

    • On one specific niche topic

    • 15 – 20 350 to 800 keyword specific non-fiction articles

    • Original content based upon research

  • Article types:

·         How to

·         Problem solving

·         Detailed description about a topic that is uncommon

·         No sales pitches

·         No common knowledge material

I will provide you with:

  • The number of articles, topics and the list of keyword phrases that will be used for each article. This will define each topic.

  • A blueprint of how to use the keywords within the articles and suggestions on where you can research information about the topic

  • A sample of a well-written article for each article type that you can use as a model if you wish.

No No’s

  • Taking similar topic articles from article directories and just editing them

  • Keyword stuffing (Use one or two articles as a base and just change the keywords to appear different

  • No padding articles with fluff to obtain the necessary word length

  • No Esoteric boring material to try and prove how smart you are. We already know that! :)

Your Background

  • English must be your primary language

  • Understanding how to quickly research facts and then write original content

  • Experience writing for the Web is a plus, however a good writer can learn this quickly from the blueprint that I will provide.

  • Non-fiction experience is a plus. However, if you are a fiction author and feel that you can write short non-fiction articles, then please apply.

 

This will be Private Label Rights (PLR) material which means no by-line or copyright protection. The individual who purchases PLR material “owns” the material – They can put their name on it, and change it in any way that they wish. However, they will not be able to resell the material.

Assignments

  • Each assignment will include a one week deadline. This will be flexible based upon the topic.

  • For your first assignment, you will submit your first completed article for a critique and we will quickly edit/finalize it. Then you will write the remaining articles based upon the approved article. This will reduce the amount of overall editing time.

  • Upon completion, you will submit your articles together in a text format. The articles will be zipped and sent as a single attachment. I will provide you with a free easy to use zip program if you need it.

Payment

You will receive US$5.00 per article paid to your PayPal account when I receive the zipped files containing your articles. Payments will be made promptly.

 

My wish list! :)

I’m also a writer like you! I do not want to spend a lot of time editing your work. While I do not mind providing guidance, I’m looking to work with authors who share my passion for writing, have a commitment to quality and wish to make a contribution to others through their work -  and getting paid for their efforts!

If you are interested, please contact me at the following email address:

Please put “Writing Assignment Interest” in the subject line. Also, in the body of the email, please include a 2-3 paragraph writing sample. NO email attachments please. I will then promptly follow up with you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

All the best,

Michael
