Brief Summary:
Hi,

I am looking for a ghost writer. You should be familiar with SEO and writing web content for search engine rankings.

The project you are bidding on is for the creation of 50 articles about “Places to visit in the Philippines as an tourist” whit in these 5 categories (10 for each):

- Traveling guides
- Urban
- Culture and history
- Food and culinary
- Art, design & music

The subject for each article will be of your choice with in the top 20 of the most popular tourist attractions in the Philippines.

When you have selected your subject for each article, I will give your the SEO keyword phrase for each article. Eg. "Manila travel guide".

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.

Project Details:

  • 1 keyword phrase per article will be provided and must be included in the title, short description (excerpt), 1st paragraph, last paragraph, and with an overall keyword density of 4-8%
  • Each article must be individually researched and written and not the output of an article re-writer / spinner. Every article MUST be 100% original material.
  • Content should be accurate, informative, well researched, benefit oriented and engaging to the reader. Quality and originality are a high priority.
  • Article content uniqueness must pass Copyscape and random string search checks in Google or will not be accepted. All articles will be verified.
  • All content provided must not be re-used, published or provided as a sample, or sold in the future to other parties.

Further Information:
When posting to this bid, please provide:

* Sample of written work you have done of a similar nature

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 Employer). 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 Employer).
2a) You may not quote material from other sources unless the employer 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 employer 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 vWorker.com.)
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. Employer 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 employer on the site per the worker's Worker Legal Agreement.
Other Requirements:
  • 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.
Categories:
(Note: Like everything else on this page, these categories are part of the original contract for this project.)
Writing and translation, Blogs and Articles


Expert Guarantee Required:

     It is crucial to the employer that this entire project be completed (100%) by the deadline of days. They only want expert workers who will commit themselves to this deadline to bid. If you are not an expert or unable to commit completely to the deadline, then DO NOT BID on this project.

     If you are an expert and can commit, the employer would like you to demonstrate this by making an
Expert Guarantee of at least 8% of your bid. (This would not need to be made now...but only if and when you are are selected as the winning bidder). If you complete the job (100% by the deadline), then your deposit would be refunded to you. If you do not, then you would forfeit the deposit and it would go to cover the employer's cancellation charge and the remainder donated to a non-profit charity.

     Please note that depending on how you choose to make the deposit, there may be a small, non-refundable processing fee. This fee can be reduced or eliminated by choosing a less expensive method of payment. Or, you may wish to ask the employer to cover the cost of the fee for you. You can do this in a number of ways such as: increasing the price of your bid, asking the employer to post a 2nd project to cover it (contingent on completion of the project), or by getting the employer to promise to pay the fee to you as a bonus (upon completion of the project). If you choose the bonus route, just remember that due to credit card/PayPal rules, vWorker.com CANNOT force an employer to pay a bonus involuntarily...even when promised on-site. So don't choose this option, unless you trust the employer, or are willing to take a small risk.

     This is just a very brief overview of how the Expert Guarantee works and there are many more details that you need to understand fully before you bid on this project. DO NOT BID on this project until you've read and fully understand everything about the Expert Guarantee (including reading the contract and the FAQs).
