Funniest Guest Post Proposal I've Ever Received

So I publish guest posts on my blog from time to time.

And I love writers, so when I publish guest posts I pay the writers.

This naturally attracts people who want to guest post strictly for the cash. I talk about online business, writing, video marketing, that sort of thing.

Five minutes ago I got a guest post proposal with this title:

GUEST POST ON TAXI INSURANCE.

Now I figured this was a wind up - there's a couple of guys who I have a mutual wind up thang going on with. But I read the article - and it's actually a genuine article attempt.

( I say attempt - because the headline of the article is APPREHENDING TAXI INSURANCE.)

Hope that brightens someone's day.



Paul

    Thanks for sharing the bit of humour, Paul. You never know what to expect from people.

    I do pretty much all of my own writing. I've paid for PLR in the past, but always re-wrote the articles because they needed a boost in my opinion.

    I have also seen PLR from other sources and some of it looks like either it was run through a spinner once too often, or the writer simply did not have an acceptable grasp of English grammar. Some of the phrases and references leaned towards the humorous side, like "APPREHENDING TAXI INSURANCE."

      Wow, you're kind of hard on the spinning industry. I are am sure those who are {accomplished|good} at it would never {allow|let badly spun}{text|words|writing} {escape|get out of prison|let the cat out of the bag} without making {corrections|improvements|repairs} to it.

      Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.
