However, we will be approving projects and making payment verifications two time during the day; once early-morning and once in the early evening. We will resume our normal business hours on Tuesday, September 7th and wish everyone who celebrates it a happy Labor Day.

Brief Summary:
  • vWorker.com reminder: You MAY NOT post the final solution for this (and any) project before your bid is accepted and funds are fully escrowed. Anyone who does may have their account permanently suspended. However, you CAN post:
    • On programming projects: A prototype or functional demo...as long as source code is not provided.
    • On graphics projects: A watermarked and low-resolution version of the work.

I am looking for someone to write 15 high quality content articles in the 'internet marketing' niche.

I am looking for someone who is fast, efficient, has English as their primary language, delivers on time, provides value for their work, has very clear communication, and is willing to take on more work once this project has been completed - the rewrite of a 10-15 page report in the same niche.




Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the employer was interviewed about the requirements for this project. Below are their answers. Untitled Page
Project Type: What kind of work do you need done?
Writing (Includes website content writing, proposals and technical writing.)
Legal: 1) Quality of writing: All English writing-related deliverables MUST be of grammatical, structural and logical quality commensurate with written English in a professional journal (unless otherwise stated by the Buyer). If you are a non-native English speaker you are HIGHLY CAUTIONED AGAINST bidding, unless you are 100% certain that you can provide this level of writing.
2) Writing Copyright: All deliverables MUST be completely your own original work and may not be taken (in whole or in part) from any work that you do not have full and complete copyrights to (unless otherwise stated by the Buyer).
2a) You may not quote material from other sources unless the buyer explicitly gives you permission to do so. If they do, you must surround that material with quotes and cite the source with enough detail so it can be verified.
2b) You may not paraphrase from other sources unless the buyer explicitly gives you permission to do so. If they do, you must follow generally accepted standards for paraphrasing. Merely rearranging words and phrases from another source is considered plagiarism and is illegal. To correctly paraphrase, you should read the original and then close the book/source so you cannot see it and then write the entire material from scratch using your own words. (Note: Paraphrasing is legal by U.S. law when the work is considered "Fair Use"...which generally means it will NOT be used commercially and ONLY for educational purposes. On the other hand, if you may know or suspect the work may not be "Fair Use", please inform or consult with Rent a Coder.)
2c) If you infringe any copyright you will forfeit all escrowed funds under the terms of "fraud" in your contract and may have your account suspended. DO NOT BID ON THIS PROJECT, unless you fully understand United States copyright law and it's ramifications to you.
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the seller's Seller Legal Agreement.
Other Requirements:

The project details are as follows:

- 15 high quality 'internet marketing' articles, partially rewritten from supplied examples.

- Aimed at helping small local businesses use the internet to increase profits.

- between 400-700 words each in length

I will provide an example of each article and it's given topic and keywords. However, a little extra research will be needed to make sure the article is up to date and accurate in its information.

All articles are checked through copyscape for plagiarism, please do not post if you copy from the internet.

Project timeline and additional information:

The project should be completed in 2 days after the project has been accepted. I am very prompt with payment, and clear with communication and detailed in what I expect.

How the articles should be written:

I have attached a file with the example articles inside. Use these articles as a guide for the topics of the new articles. Also, extra research can be done at http://www.wordtracker.com/academy/ and similar sites. Please provide the new articles in .txt format.

Further information:

When posting to this bid, please provide:

- A sample of written work you have done of a similar nature in the past


  • All deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert vWorker.com of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.
  • Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the employer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the employer and worker agreements. vWorker.com monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
