Looking for a content writer......

by John Romaine
13 replies
Ive just spent the best part of 20 minutes reading hype filled sales letters in the Warriors for Hire section and feel now, more frustrated than I did before I started.

Is there anyone here that is a talented writer, thats interested in a long term working relationship, that doesnt write spun crap and also wont outsource content to the Phillipines at $1 an article.

If anyone here can offer some help or recommendations, Id really appreciate it.

    Zabrina is very good -- delivers on time, high quality and is very friendly.

      I'd second this and Cathy Shelver. I've also used Cool aromas and Adam Valentine.

      What sort of money are you prepared to pay Johnny?

        Hey Richard,
        I have no problem paying $15 USD per 500-700 word article, but it must be of high quality. Im hopeful that at that price I can find someone.

        Im not interested in spun, rehashed, chicken scribble that I need to "fix" once submitted.

          Well those I mentioned are your best bet then chap.

          As for the spun, rehashed stuff, I wouldn't recommend that to you and nor would I pay for it good sir.

          I wouldn't like to put them in order but in light of Zabrina's good causes and Cathy not being too well, I'd try them both out to give them both a chance. I believe Cool aroma's may be fully booked now and I've only used Adam once but it was what I would have expected.

          Good luck Johnny.

    I know most people don't trust writers that are suggesting themselves, but feel free to take a look at my thread in my signature. I have written for dozens of Warriors since I started advertising here on WF.

      Being in touch with some warriors who utilized AmandaT service, I can surely recommend her.

      Cheers

        We have used the services of Seth Czerepak from the WF. He does good stuff, professional to deal with, and is a decent guy to boot.

    I'm brand new here and I know that no one knows me from Adam!

    Still, I'd love to talk with you and see if I could meet your content needs.

    I am a professional writer, editor, and proofreader. My background is in journalism, public relations, marketing, curriculum, publishing, and I'm a certified English teacher. Yes, I've done a little bit of everything in the communications field.

    I'm here looking for experience and exposure in the WF and finding more work to supplement my freelance business as I begin a new PLR site.

    Again, I'd love to just talk and see if I could help.

    You can PM me here or contact me by email: writingmomof3 [at] gmail [dot] com.

    I look forward to hearing from you!

      Another vote here for Zabrina's special charity offer, linked to above by Oneplusone ... she's a talented writer.

    Hi Johnny,

    The best way I've found good writers is to post a project at guru.com and review the samples and testimonials of the one's who bid on the project. I've had a few writers stick with me for over a year now that way and are in your price range or a little higher who never give me poor content.

    I've tried several writers on the WF and never been as happy as when I go through the trouble of setting up a project on guru.com (sorry to say it, but that's been my experience). The few that are good here are very booked up and it usually takes weeks to get the content back, which doesn't work so well when you need a high volume of content.

    I've probably had at least a dozen writer warriors flake out on me. My theory is the problem is it's too easy to post something saying you'll write content for folks. At least at guru the ratings stick with them and they have to jump through some hoops to get an account set up.

    I hope that helps.... sorry to write such a scathing review of the writers here. There are many good ones I'm sure, but I bet they also have accounts elsewhere and you can find them there as well.

    Lisa
