Project Detail

Description

I am in need of a ghost writer. I was asked to write a weekly column in our local newspaper. For the most part the articles will be very simple and generic, written in the first person. When it comes to the Market Data and states, I will provide. Each article needs to be approximately 750 words (plus or minus a bit)

This featured column starts the 1st week of August and I need to get a “library” of these topics (below) composed and submitted into the “library”

This is an ongoing project and we will need to discuss compensation......maybe a flat fee / article.

• Market updates/statistic summaries
• Current local topics as they come up
• Tips for sellers: Setting an asking price
• Related article: What is market value? (I don’t think a lot of people understand that this is based on what people are actually willing to pay)
