Project Detail

Description

I need several current/news/hot-topic writers. Please bid on 10 articles in ONE WEEK. If you are good at picking or predicting HOT trending topics and write some good articles that get good traffic, we will have you continue writing.

I am seeking women's interest writers who are VERY strong at finding CURRENT SEO Topics (you will need to learn to use tools like Google Trends, Bing XRank, etc). Also, you need to understand how to pick long-tail keyphrases that others may not be focusing on (wordtracker, overture, etc). You will do your own research, and upload your own article with a graphic.

I have budgeted $30 for each 10 articles you write. Each article should be original (tested with copyscape) and 350+ words long and should be SEO optimized on no more than one or two keyphrases. Our site is NOT a news site, so you will need to find long-tail keyphrase variations that people are searching on Today by searching the news sites and changing the nouns and vowels to something people do seach on and we might more easily rank on.

This is for one of the top 100 websites in the US (with additional audience in Canada and the UK), so writing samples are critical, and PERFECT US-English grammar and writing skills are mandatory. Most non-US writers we have hired have not worked out for us (and since we do NOT pay for articles that have grammar or sentence structure problems, it didn't work out for them either). Therefore, you must be ENGLISH speaking and a US/UK/Canada native to be considered -- the only exception I can think of is someone who has perfect English and is already a true expert on one of the women's subject matters we are covering.

EACH of the writers we hire will:
- Watch your areas of news EVERY DAY (news sites, rss feeds, etc)
- Write a minimum of TEN 350-word articles/week
- Each article should be SEO keyword optimized (very important)
- Write 100% original content and test with copyscape
- Add a publicly/freely available graphic to the article (of the person, place, etc)
- Add a description metatag and keyword metatags to your article
- Add cloud tags to each of your articles after saving them
- Add your new articles immediately to several social bookmarking sites (digg, twitter, etc)

You will be evaluated on the traffic that your article brings. Other writers may be writing on the same topic at the same time, but you can easily differentiate by choosing different keyphrase variations.

After we pay you for articles, we own them 100% to use or do with as we please, and you may NOT publish them anywhere else.

You do NOT need a lot of reviews on this freelance site to win this bid. All Bids are HIDDEN/PRIVATE. To be considered for this, please indicate with your bid (either in your bid or by PM):
- Where you grew up and were educated
- Details on your writing experience (and samples)
- Your experience or areas of content expertise (what you like to follow in trends/news)
