We have a large number of ongoing projects and the right candidate can look forward to many additional writing projects. We are looking for a long term relationship and only professional writers need inquire. --------------GENERAL ARTICLE STRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS ------------ ___ Length: 450-550 words each. This is the length of the article CONTENT, and does not include the article title or sub-title (described later below). Please, no filler words just to add content. ___ When you have completed 5 articles place them into a zip file and email them to me. ___ Each article is to be written in its own file. Use the keyword phrase as the file name. For example, if the keyword phrase is 'life cycle treadmill' then the file name for the article would be 'life cycle treadmill.txt'. ___ Article file format needed is MS Word documents or (.txt). ___ Articles need to be written in very good grammatical & fluent US English (not British English; e.g. "behavior", not "behaviour"; "favor", not "favour"; "while", not "whilst", "spoiled", not "spoilt", etc.). ___ Do not write the articles in third person. ___ Article content should be informative, easy to read for most anyone, should "flow" naturally for the reader, and be free from any typing, spelling, and grammatical errors, with correct English punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure. ___ The article should not read as a press release for a company when the keyword contains a company name. For example, for the keyword 'Life Cycle Treadmill' the article should not sound like an advertisement or press release issued by Life Cycle Corporation. ___ Do NOT use article "spin" software to produce these articles. Seldom does such software produce content that reads naturally for the reader. (If you require the use of article "spin" software, please do not bid on this project.) ___ Articles must be 100% your original work and free of copyrighted, plagiarized, or licensed material from a 3rd party of any kind, including offline material. I verify originality. ___ Please minimize usage of UPPER CASE IN THE BODY OF THE ARTICLES and also the use of exclamation points (!!!), as both of these styles tend to communicate that the writer is yelling at the reader. ___ The articles must not contain any profanity or lewd comments. ___ Each article needs to be focused on one specific keyword phrase. I will supply the list of keyword phrases and the article titles for this project. Write one article per keyword / title pair. ___ Please use the keyword phrases exactly as I provided them, even if a phrase does not appear to make sense or has an apparent typo. More keyword details are below. ___ Where it makes sense and flows naturally in the article content, please include one URL within some of the articles pointing to well-known authority web sites related to this niche. No more than one is necessary in any given article. (This is not a requirement, but a preference where it makes sense in an article). I would perfer in addition to having one URL reference in the article, having two or three at the end of the article. ___ You should not use the same paragraphs or facts in multiple articles. Each article needs to be unique, even if the keywords for each are similar. (Some of the keyword phrases WILL be similar. In that case, each article based on the similar keywords can include different aspects, angles, or nuances concerning the similar keyword topics.) --------------SPECIFIC ARTICLE STRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS------------- ___ Provide one space after each period, colon, or semi-colon. ___ Periods should be inside of quotes. ___ When placing three dots at the end or middle of a statement (e.g. "The missing amount was found later..."), there should only be three dots; no more, no less. ___ When using dashes to separate a thought, use two in a row(--). ___ There is never a space before a period or comma. ___ No paragraph indentation. ___ One blank line between each paragraph. =============CHECK THE JOB CLARIFICATION BOARD FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION===============
