HIRING writers for long term work
 

I am expanding on a very large scale and would like to hire a few additional writers. I have had numerous people submit samples to me over the years and very few of them have been able to meet my expectations so I figured I would allow everyone to submit samples and pick the best candidates out of them. I am NOT looking for outsourcing companies.


About the work:
The work varies from short gallery descriptions up to 150 word descriptions. Writing on various subjects within the straight side of the adult business (no gay/shemale stuff). The starting pay will be $0.013 per word which comes out to $1.95 for every 150 word post. However this is LONG TERM work and as long as you are reliable you will receive raises throughout your period of working with me just like my other writers have (one has been consistently working for me for over 2 years now). I prefer that you are able to do 50-75 of these 150 word posts per week but if you can handle more I have plenty of work so that would not be an issue.


You must:
Be a native english speaker.
Be reliable and be able to meet deadlines.
Have an epassporte or paypal account to receive your payments.


For the sample I would simply like you to do the following:
Go to NicoleGraves.com and read about her (membership benefits, stats, build, etc.) and write a 150 word description about Nicole. I want you to take the salesman approach and write in a way that would entice the reader into joining. I realize that this is very vague but I am done sharing my guidelines with people who I do not wind up working with. I have a very simple set of writing guidelines which need to be followed and will provide those to the parties who I am interested in working with when that time comes.


Please send your submissions to nethustle:upsidedowgmail.com and you will be considered for employment. I am hoping to receive at least 10 submissions before making my decision so if I do not get back to you immediately that is why. I will respond to each and every one of you and let you know what I decide. If you have any additional questions feel free to hit me up at the address listed above. :thumbsup


Again, I am NOT looking for outsourcing companies.

Hi! We hear at cheapasianlabor.com would love to discus this with you as we have full trained staff of writters ready to meet and exceed you business goals!

good luck

Wow, good luck with that.

I've been doing 5 to 10 200-300 word blog posts a day lately, and by the end of the day my brain is totally fried.
If I was doing those for you I'd make about $20 a day. :1orglaugh

That's crazy. I'm guessing you find "native english speakers" in 3rd world countries?

Yeah I figured I would get a couple of these, lets not start a trend ok? :winkwink:

Thanks, as long as that is not sarcastic.

I also figured people would drop in their :2 cents: and try to flame about the rate. Believe it or not I have had many people agree to the terms yet their writing didn't fit my style well enough. This is to be considered a part time gig and could help a number of people especially in today's economy.


For everyone else: If you are not interested in this opportunity please resist the urge to drop your :2 cents: in here, there are plenty of MJ and drama related threads filling the first page that are calling for your input.

I'm not flaming you and I actually don't think Lenny was either (snake doctor) but he's right. I've been writing my own descriptions and site texts for over a decade now, but over the years I've also written and sold many adult stories to other companies. I won't sell a 1500 word story for less than $50, but by your pay scale if I were to write ten 150-word descriptions I would make less than $20.

I would be amazed if any skilled writers would be willing to work for that little a pay rate.

But then again nothing surprises me anymore.

Good luck.

I am not looking for a college graduate with perfect grammatical skills. I do understand what you guys are saying though and I realize I am not going to get the most skilled writers at the rate posted. For those of you who have issues with the rate and are interested in the offer you can contact me to discuss... :2 cents:

you're going to get lots of people that say they can do it but few that actually can. most people willing to work for ~a penny a word will have an adequate grasp of the english language but a sub par understanding of marketing, keyword density and so on.

good luck with the search. If you get pissed off with all the shitty descriptions you'll be getting from so-called native speakers, please contact me on icq to discuss rates.

Send this to my american friend who live here so he can write for you if you make a deal with him

Not sarcasm, but realism. As you stated above, "I have had many people agree to the terms yet their writing didn't fit my style well enough."

That is the problem. I have hired many writers that said they could do it cheap but I have ALWAYS had to go back and edit their crap, and I am talking about some very well known names here, and I paid them a lot more that you are offering. So sincerely, good luck.

Besides, never turn down a bump. Otherwise this thread would be on page 3.

I would do it just to hone my writing skills for bigger projects, but 50-75 post a week are too many for me.:2 cents:

Every time we put our 2 cents in your page gets bumped, so consider it a favor.

I also don't think anyone who is willing to work for those rates will read this thread and all of a sudden decide they're worth alot more and revolt on you.

I hope you find what you're looking for, but I think you're in a have your cake and eat it too situation.You want to pay less than outsourcing company rates (webmaster labor charges 3 cents per word) but want native english speaking quality writers.

So yeah, good luck with that....although on a temporary basis, I'm sure there's some people out there in a cash crunch that would pull an all nighter for an extra 50 bucks or something.

Ah, I see the problem.

You think you're not looking for a college grad, while the work you are offering does in fact require that level of work.

You see, you're not just looking for a typist. You're looking for someone who can work reliably, meet deadlines, and deliver acceptable content - all while unsupervised.

Meanwhile, what you're offering is a high school dropout level of payment. Keep in mind, a burgerflipper makes about the same amount per hour as your future writer will make. And unlike your writer, a burgerflipper only has to follow simple directions.

So what you're looking for is a motivated self-starter who doesn't slack off and is interested in a monotonous, low pay, dead end job that adds absolutely nothing to his CV and hardly helps him develop any skills whatsoever.

Sadly, in today's economy, your search will probably be successful.

native English speakers? :1orglaugh

even the pinoys won't work for this much

This thread screams all sorts of FAIL.

BUMP :1orglaugh

Ouch....

BTW, that post would have been worth 1.95 if you were working for st0ned. :winkwink:

good luck sir and a bump

I should have known that actually creating a business related thread on gfy was a bad idea. As I said previously, I really do not need anyone's advice or input on what I am offering. My thread is not titled "Please give me your advice on hiring writers for long term work". As I also mentioned in my post, THIS IS NOT A PERMANENT RATE.

To those that have submitted samples thank you for taking the time to do so and I will get back to you shortly with a decision.

Thanks, feel free to email me your rates.

Thanks!

Well thank you. :thumbsup

Feel free to submit a sample, that was simply a preference of mine and not necessarily a requirement.

Thank you, sir.

Quite a tough wage, not so much the writing, thats fair, but the reseach invested and salesman technique style puts this in Bombay territory.

If you wanted business replies only you probably should have stuck to the buy & sell forum:2 cents:

On this forum it's a given that amongst the other replies you're going to get criticism, some of it constructive, some not so much. As others have said, take the free bumps as a positive.

And from where I sit you obviously do need advice. Some that have chimed in here are actually writers or know someone who is a writer who might have considered your offer had it been a bit more shall we say lucrative.

Again, here's hoping you find someone decent.

good lord

Look...I am not sure where you "sit", but I do not need advice. If you are honestly trying to help I do appreciate it, but I would appreciate it even more if you would leave my thread be. I can pretty much guarantee I make more than 95% of the "webmasters" on here. I have already stated that if anyone is interested and has issues with the rate they can contact me privately to discuss. Those are my starting rates, take it or leave it, but I don't need advice. I can see that you are trying to be somewhat helpful but if I were looking for advice my thread title would have reflected that.

We all have different work ethics and such - what we are willing to work for, and what we are not. This differs with every individual. Not everyone holds themselves to the high standards some of you have supposedly set yourselves at. I am honest, I compensate people for their work based on the quality. Best believe if someone submitted the perfect sample to me that they would not be getting paid $1.95 per post. This will be my last response in this thread to anyone not interested in the offer.

It doesn't matter what people here say about the rates, cause I'm sure his mailbox is filled with applications already. Fact of the matter times are hard and people need cash.

Anyway, st0ned is a good guy to work with. I'm sure you'll get more if you do the job right :thumbsup

Indeed it is, I think there have already been about 5 or 6 people that have submitted samples to him. I'm here to also say st0ned is a pleasure to work for/with. I've been employed by him for nearly two years, and don't have any complaints. :thumbsup

Thank you both for the kind words. Working with both of you has been a pleasure as well. :thumbsup

Are you still looking for writers?

Hello, my name is Kamil from India, I like very much your offer, when do I start?

You gotta love all those free submissions...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I have always written my own posts and also worked for other webmasters
I have had users on my blogs saying how much they liked the storys and even had a webmaster ask If he could copy and paste my post and use it on his website because he liked the post so much ..lol

But I have so much work to do on my own websites, I can't do writing for other webmasters any more :(

Good luck, heres a bump for you

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh curry hahahaha vedy good

:2 cents::2 cents:

I can always use additional writers feel free to send me some samples if you wish. :thumbsup

No, I don't use the free submissions, it is simply a way for me to gauge their writing ability.

Yeah I was a 1 man team for a very long time until my network grew too large for me to handle. Thanks for the luck/bump. :thumbsup

good luck

yup good luck!

Email sent with samples.

interesting offfer...
