If you have great writing skills and would love to get paid for your writing while working from home, then this might be the job for you. This can easily turn into a long-term position.

We are looking for part-time, freelance writers who can:
? Follow instructions
? Meet deadlines
? Write with excellent grammar and an engaging voice
? Perform excellent research
? Complete between 10 and 60 articles per week

Our rates vary depending on the client and will range between .009 and .04 per word. Most of our writers make about $5 - $10 per 500 word article and can write up to 2-4 articles an hour at the beginning and go up from there. That means, you could make about $10 an hour or better if you are an efficient researcher and writer. Great writing can result in rate increases and better assignments. Our more experienced and skilled writers average about $30 an hour.

Our clients order writing that includes news articles, blogs, product descriptions, website content, magazine articles, and SEO work. We are looking for writers who can write in all of these formats or who can learn the formats they don't know quickly. The most important part of this job is having an interesting voice in your writing that flows and that is well-researched (and which meets client instructions to the letter).

Hired writers will need to fill out a W-9 to keep track of income for tax records and will be required to communicate regularly through email and/or Skype. Payment is made through Elance. Contractors are expected to submit an invoice which will be paid within 5 business days.

If you wish to apply for this job, please email us regarding your experience, education, days and hours you wish to work, and about how many 500 word articles you can complete each day/week. Also, please be prepared to follow the instructions below to write a sample article so that we can judge your ability to follow instructions, write, and to get a feel for your voice. This will be a paid sample article which we will choose your proposal for. Please also brainstorm a list of topics so that we can judge your creativity and ability to come up with content independently. We will expect these items within 24 hours of accepting your bid. Also, please attach work you have completed in the past so that we may use that as a basis for choosing your proposal.

(PAID SAMPLE - TO BE COMPLETED ONLY AFTER WE CONTACT YOU)
