Description:
Need content for newsletters and websites on various business and technology related matters. Please write within your area of expertise or on a matter in which you have performed some research. Articles may be posted/printed on one or more of buyers sites, newsletters and publications. Require copyright ownership and actual submission of article with bid response for consideration. Will delete form responses. Bid amount is low, but buyer will include one sentence with authors name, brief bio and contact info (only family oriented/compatible sites it url included) with article if article is used. E.g. <Ranji is a programmer with company in India specializing in asp and may be reached at e-mail/website> and may list author as part of writing staff for buyers site or publication. Buyer anticipates that this will be an ongoing long term relationship through rentacoder. Hope to post future requests as needed with preference given to past winning bidders. In compliance with rentacoder rules, do not submit contact information prior to bid acceptance. Provide bio with article submission. (One line, not portfolio. No more than 25 words.). Provide contact information upon bid acceptance. Will provide winning bidders with at least one online destination for author&'s articles where authors can feel free to review their articles and bio link or contact me with updated contact info or article information. This is a great advertising vehicle for good coders. Don&'t be dissuaded from submitting article if your knowledge is good, but writing skills weak. For good content, buyer will edit work. If substantial editing is needed, buyer will be listed as editor, but coder&'s bio will still be included. Remember, the more you submit, the more your work is promoted. Articles must have a minimum of 400 words and 1000 maximum. No graphics. Must have valuable content, not contrived self-promotion.
Deliverables:
Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased. Submissions considered "Work for Hire"
in this bid request agreement.Will accept more than one bid if there are several buyers who submit work of good quality. Articles must be new, original and not derived
from existing material. They must not violate any copyright.
Please only submit articles on topics with which you are experienced. All articles are subject to editing & may not be used even if bought. Accepted articles may also be deleted at a later date.
Only submit original material that is created for this bid request. Do not under any circumstances, submit work to which you only have licensing rights.
Please do not submit any work unless you agree to these conditions.
This is a good project to get ratings on RAC and advertise your business for nothing. I think it is a no brainer. Also a no-brainer is my rejecting high bids. I have to pay something because we are on RAC, but this is a vehicle to GET RATINGS AND FREE ADVERTISING!! I require the entire, completed article though as part of your bid. If you are a lousy writer, but have good content, submit your bid anyway. I will try to polish up the work.
Platform:
Text. Want to add: I cannot accept bids if you do not write and attach the articles. I have to have some minimum amount because RAC requires that work not be done for free. Obviously though, this is an arrangement that is of benefit to the author too, so bidding high only handicaps the bidder because I have to pay each person who submits. I should have noted, most of the users of the site will not have technical experience so make sure you define your terms and write as though you were explaining things to your grandmother. If people do not understand your articles, they are not likely to read them. I plan to have a rating system on my site, so articles that are more interesting will be promoted the most and will prompt me to rebid for more! The more articles, the more advertising for the author!
