Bid On This Project
 

Description

Hi there,

Today I'm offering the right candidate(s) a great opportunity.

I recieve lots of articles which are not quite there - grammatical errors, confusing two words like offect and effect, and generally poor English.

However, the thing I want to stress is that most of these articles are NEARLY PERFECT, meaning you may only have to change a sentence or two in some articles.

The thing is, I pass these articles on and they must be good enough. I don't have time to check them myself (I used to) so I'm looking for someone to do it.

JOB DESCRIPTION:
________________

I will pay you $0.50 per article you check.

Checking an article involves:
* Reading through the article
* Correcting any grammatical errors (or other general errors)

Each article should take around 5 MINUTES to check and is generally between 400-500 words.

This is a recurring post, not a one-off - I'm looking for someone to carry on this job week after week.

I prefer to pay by PayPal as I find Escrow slows things down - that said, I am happy to send your first payment upfront in order to prove myself.


JOB REQUIREMENTS:
_________________

Perfect English only. You must be a native English speaker and have a full grasp of the language, especially grammar.

(OPTIONAL) A degree in English or other such qualifications will improve your chances of getting this post.

Must have PayPal to receive payments.

Must be able to check at least 10 articles within 24 hours (or give notice when unable to do so). If you can check 20 in 24 hours, or 30, I am obviously going to be more likely to hire you.

Please include a sample/CV to show me your English skills. I can provide a sample article to show you the quality of article that will need to be checked and corrected, if you wish.

Must be available to start from this Sunday evening/Monday morning.



By the way, I have used GAF before to hire someone but I sent the payment over PayPal, separate from the GAF Escrow System so it wouldn't let her leave feedback. If you don't trust me, don't bid.


This is an easy job which can mean a useful income for the right candidate. Feel free to ask any questions!


NB: In your bid, please include the word 'SUNDAY' to let me know you have read this listing.

ANY BID THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE WORD 'SUNDAY' WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

SUNDAY. I was born and raised in California and am a native English speaker. I will attach a sample of my work to a private message. I should be able to proofread and correct 30 articles per day even during the week when I work full time, and even more on weekends. But at the very least I will always meet the 10 articles per 24 hours deadline. I would like to be paid for the first 10 articles I proofread and correct before I move on to more articles. But I am willing to do the first 10 before receiving payment. After that we could work out weekly payments. Since the system would not let me bid below $30, I am bidding on $0.50 per article for the first 60 articles, but hope to work with you long term. I have a PayPal account and it is my preferred payment method as well. If you would like, please feel free to send me a sample article so that I can demonstrate my skills. I look forward to working with you, and thank you in advance for your consideration! I am available to start anytime.
