I've been doing a lot of writer hiring lately and it ALWAYS surprises me how many "writers" make really, really, really bad mistakes in their replies to an Ad to be a writer...

Kenj, your example is PERFECT.

Thanks

His mistakes are that obvious, a "writer" wouldn't need them pointing out.

I'm not trying to be a dick here but it gets SOOOOOOO frustrating trying to hire writers and you get people that don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" and "writers" who don't use even basic punctuation like in the post above.

If you are applying for a job as a WRITER, you'd better damn well be able to write... Especially in your first contact with the guy you want to hire you.

My new rule is to not even read an application from any non-native English speakers... I have gone through over 40 applications this week and ALL of the non-natives make really silly, basic mistakes.

I'm NOT looking for Shakespeare, hell, my own writing is shocking - but I AM looking for somebody who can write as we talk and has adequate English skills.

Thanks

I write as an english speaker,
I write completely well researched articles that my customers rave over.
I write completely original content. You will not find my content anywhere else - the reason is that I have written it myself.
No spinning, no copying no cheating.
I write!!!!

  Why Thank You.
  
  Unfortunately though, the OP terms of affordable do not fit in my rates.
  
  I charge 4 cents per word and have a very quick turnaround time. If you would like samples of my work or would like to hire me, shoot me a pm and I am sure we can work something out. Otherwise, I wish you the best of luck in seeking a writer to perform at the level of quality you want, at the rates you are suggesting.

  I have to agree with Matt on this one. If you're going to apply for a job as
  a writer, you better frickin be able to write and know how to put a period at
  the end of a sentence, even one as long as this one, like this. <----period
  
  I absolutely cringe at some of the stuff people pass off as writing.
  
  But who am I to judge? I sometimes run off and start babbling like an Andy
  Capp comic book reject.
  
  But I also don't go applying for jobs as a writer.
  
  Thanks

Looks like you didn't need 5 minutes, you've spotted it. 2 missed periods is absolutely 100% reason for me to dismiss a writer's application.

When you are weeding out the good from the bad, their covering letters can often be all you have to go on, and if a writer can't take the time to punctuate a post appropriately WHEN TRYING TO PURSUE WORK *WRITING* then I personally bin their application. It's the NUMBER 1 biggest mistake these people make.

Here's a tip for aspiring writers wanting to work with IM'ers... Make EVERYTHING you write, in IM's, in forums, in Emails - as perfect English as you can! Punctuate everything. Use proper grammar. EVERYTHING... EVERY time. EVERY word you write is YOUR advertisement for your services.

Another tip, if you have ONE SINGLE bad article in your portfolio, GET RID OF IT... Because I will NOT read them all, I'll read a section of ONE article, if that isn't any good - it's over.

Now, if you're looking for one off jobs and pocket money then you'll probably be ok being "sloppy", but if you're looking to win good, long-term clients (I've had one of my writers in full-time work since about 2002) then you HAVE to give good first impressions.

Proof read EVERYTHING. Check everything. Make everything perfect. It takes a minute extra to read your own articles and correct silly little mistakes - SO DO IT... To people like me, it MATTERS...

Most "writers" selling their services, can't really write basic English. It's so frustrating.

So, you want to stand out above the rest and win good, solid, long-term clients?

Then don't rant on about "you get what you pay for"... Prove that with EVERY word you write, you are BETTER.

Inject personality into ever post. Every article. Write in good CONVERSATIONAL English. And when you're chatting over Skype... PUNCTUATE everything. Use capitals. Write in good English... It speaks VOLUMES and sets you apart from the rest.

I thought my rant was over, but I'm not done...

Also, don't expect to be paid TOP dollar straight off the bat... Be willing to work a bit cheaper than you'd like and not just for 10 articles. Or a week. A client won't want to hire you if he thinks you're going to double your price after a few weeks.

GOOD clients will increase what they pay you over time - when they KNOW how good you are, and how invaluable you will inevitably become to their business...

GOOD WRITERS ARE HARD TO FIND... We WILL do everything we can to keep you writing for US... But you have to prove how good you are and build a relationship with the client. You won't do that asking for $20 or $30 for a web content article when you have no track record.

Ok, I'm done. I hope this post helps somebody.

Thanks

I agree with most of what you posted above, with the exception of the part that I quoted.

I have stated my rates and have had many warriors contact me at those rates. I have very little track record, except for those who are members of my PLR list and the clients I currently write for. I don't ask them for testimonials, because I hope that my writing skills in response to posts are more than enough to show I can use punctuation and know how to spell check etc. There are many that ask for the $20-$30 rates and get it out of the gates, and those clients that have hired them, raise the rates from there as they see fit. Why start at $5 and work your way up, if you can start at $20 and work up from there?

Just my two cents.

Thanks

  I'd say these are a couple of the biggest ones:
  
  You're and your...
  
  Misuse of plurals... Adding S to things that shouldn't have S on them. "Writings" when they mean "Writing"
  
  Etc
  
  There are LOADS more but they are usually subtle...
  
  I've noticed the guys from the Phillipines, India, Egypt etc that CAN write REALLY good English charge the same as writers in the USA - often more!... but then, why would I use them over somebody from the USA?
  
  Anyway, this is all just my opinion and from my personal observations of working with and hiring writers for many, many years.
  
  Thanks

  I'm surprised at all the critics of kenj's grammatical errors jumped only on his missing periods. That is straining at gnats when the hard one to swallow, for me, was ending a sentence with a preposition.
  
  I've often thought of offering my services, particularly to non-native English speakers, as an editor. I'm such a good spelling Nazi and grammar Gestapo
