Project Detail

Description

I need a long term blogger who can produce daily posts for our videogame accessories website with a view to informing the reader about our products, keeping them up to date with the news in the videogame accessory market, and amusing them with relevant funny posts, with the ultimate goal of increasing traffic and sales.

Ideally, I need someone who can produce 6-7 posts/week, but I would consider two writers doing 3-4 each. English MUST be your native language. Please don't bid if you're only going to do this for a few weeks and then give up. This is an ongoing project with no end in sight.

The articles should be 3-400 words in length with a focus on videogame accessories, rather than the games themselves (or two 150-200 word articles, but the price will remain the same). We sell cables, case mods, controllers, memory cards etc. NO piracy information. Rates will be $4/article (or $2 per two 150-200 word article). You will be paid weekly.

We require articles to be posted 6-7 days/week, but you can do them all at once if it's more convenient to you. We are after a long term writer who can commit to the project on an ongoing basis, please bid with this in mind. An interest in videogames (xbox 360, wii, ps3 etc) is a MUST. Having access to all these machines will be considered a definite bonus.

The articles need to be written in an upbeat, fairly informal tone in a manner that is engaging to the reader. Fluent, native english is essential. The articles must pass copyscape and be keyword based with good keyword density. My company will own the copyright to all the articles.

You will be expected to work fairly independently, performing your own research to write interesting content. I will provide direction with some content:

- sometimes I will give you specific new/upcoming products to write about
- sometimes I will give you a specific topic to write about (eg how to set up a light gun on the PS3, how to transfer ps2 saves to your ps3 etc)
- most often you will need to do your own research to come up with the daily articles. The sort of stories we require are:

- funny/interesting stories eg console case mods, humourous videogame-related stories
- opinions about relevant industry news
- mostly we need informative articles about the products we sell

If you think you can consistently deliver quality work on an ongoing basis, then please pm me a sample article or two. Winner will be picked based on samples and portfolios.

Bonus points for reading to the end and submitting me a sample article: Write me an interesting article on what you can do with the USB Gecko.
