What the fuck's up, Wickedfire?

Tired of having to delegate article rewriting here, LSI-oriented content there, spun articles over there? Yeah, we can fucking imagine. Never again! Barclay & Riddell — a hot, new Internet marketing start-up — is here to offer the cash-money ballers of Wickedfire a one-stop shop for all their content needs. For more information on who we are and what we do, please read above if you haven't already.

To start things off right, we're offering 10 free 500-word review copies of our standard content writing service.
Ideally, we'd like these review copies to go to esteemed members of the community. After doing a little bit of research, we found the top 20 posters in all of Wickedfire and will be soliciting them for reviews of our content. However, if you have a considerable amount of intelligent and contributing posts, coupled with a positive iTrader, we'll consider opening up one of the 10 free reviews to you.

If you have any questions, please either PM us or send us an e-mail at info@barclay-riddell.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and consideration. Now let's work together to fuck shit up!



 


Surprised no one has responded to this yet. I got my free review last night, just got around to checking it out this morning.

Article was totally postable, right out of the inbox. Usually I have to go through outsourced content and fix everything which in some cases takes as long as it would have taken to write the dang thing myself.

If there is anything automated about this content, it's too sophisticated for me to catch. Looks like good old fashioned original content. Passed CopyScape, of course, with flying colors.

Not sure about how much these guys are going to charge, but it's definitely worth more than your garden variety $0.02/word content.

Also, they're from SoCal, which makes them better than the competition by default.
 
Got my review back last night, quality. I'm just gonna post it here, as the niche is pretty random with moar competition than most people want any part of anyway.

Workout Routines Are Dime A Dozen – Which To Choose?


Were you aware that Type 2 Diabetes effects 25.8 million men, women and children in the United States? That means that roughly 1 out of every 13 people that make up the entirety of the population of the United States is effected by this chronic disease, marked by high levels of glucose in the blood. Crazy, isn't it? The good news is that you don't have to be a part of this statistic with simple workout routines. With roughly 150 minutes of physical activity a week, Type 2 Diabetes can be entirely prevented! This breaks down to only 30 minutes a day every 5 out of 7 days of the week. This means even if you're a busy-body, setting aside these 150 minutes every week is manageable, but most importantly, it's life-saving.


Having said that, there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of workout routines for you to choose from, making it incredibly easy to fill those 30-minute slots for exercise every 5 out of 7 days in the week. The toughest decision, however, is which of those hundreds of workout routines are best for you. This article will hopefully shed a little light on that for you. Simply read on!


To begin, we'll discuss a workout routine that is targeted towards people that are either complete beginners to working out, or don't wish to purchase a gym membership or expensive barbells and dumbbells to do their workouts. First, we'll discuss a full body workout that leverages your body weight to increase your strength and size. This workout satisfies both the needs of those who are new to working out, and those who don't want to spend any – or much – money. Note: If you don't know what any of the exercises require, a simple search-engine query will explain it.


To start, you walk or do a light 5-minute jog to warm up. After this, you do 1 set of 10 to 15 reps of jump squats; 1 set of 10 to 15 reps of push ups ; 1 set of 10 to 15 reps of pull ups; 1 set of 10 to 15 reps of walking lunges; 1 set of 10 to 15 reps of dips; and finally, 1 set of 10 to 15 reps of inverted pull ups. After completing this, you once more walk or do a light 5-minute jog to cool down, and that's it! You're done! The key to this workout is simple: For it to work, you must employ the concept of progression. What this means is that each time you do this workout, you should make it a goal to beat the number of reps you did formerly. If you employ this technique, and keep yourself to your goals, you will find yourself not only stronger, but bigger, too!


Next up is a highly-esteemed workout routine whose sole intention is to make you stronger. Note: This workout is more geared for people who have been working out for a while, and want to step their work out game up a bit. For this workout, you will need a weight bench, as that is the one piece of equipment this workout requires. Adapted from a very popular book on power-lifting, this workout employs two bench press concepts. The first is known as a bench shrug. To perform a bench shrug, you have to simultaneously spread apart your lats, roll your shoulders forward, all while contracting your chest muscles. In doing so, you will be able to lift the weight on the bar without moving your arms whatsoever. Second is the concept of pausing. A pause constitutes simply lowering the bar of weights to your chest for 3 seconds for the first couple reps in a set and then pushing the weight off your chest with a sudden explosive push.


That being said, the workout is broken down into two workouts. For the first workout, start with 3 sets of 6 to 8 reps of dumbbell bench presses. After this, do 2 sets of 8 reps of close grip bench presses. Finally, follow this up with 2 sets of 6 to 10 bench shrugs. For the second workout, start with 3 to 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps of wide grip bench presses, and immediately follow that up with 3 to 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps of either high seated incline bench presses or dips. And, that wraps up this workout. Again, like the workout mentioned before the current one, you should set goals to beat your former personal bests. In doing so, you can assure that you will continue to grow stronger and stronger as your workouts progress.


To wrap this up, let it be known that the above workout routines are just the tip of the workout routine iceberg. As mentioned in the introductory paragraphs, there are hundreds of workouts out there that you can find literally pander to your every want and need with regards to your workout goals. If the workouts above aren't enough to get you started, simple search-engine queries of “beginner workout routines,” “strength workout routines,” and the like will always return results that can give you a more comprehensive list.


All in all, next time you go a week without those 150 minutes of exercise, remind yourself that you just pushed yourself further to being part of the 1 in 13 people who have Type 2 Diabetes in the United States. Why take that risk when a simple 30-minute of physical activity – whether it be weight-lifting, running, or sports – can prevent it entirely? Seriously... think about it, and don't be inactive, be proactive!


Hit me up with pricing levels, plz.
 
Alright, so we've been getting regularly hit up about our pricing levels since the creation of this thread. The reason we hadn't posted them yet is because we were going to wait until all 10 articles had been given out and their reviews posted so that we could essentially crowd source the value of what we do.

But now, in an effort to keep the number of PMs asking for our pricing levels down to a minimum and to get people going on orders if they don't qualify for a review, we've decided to go ahead and post our pricing levels.

Before we do that, however, we're happy to announce that every piece of content you receive from us will employ the concept of Latent Semantic Indexing (Google Semantically Related Words & Latent Semantic Indexing Technology | SEO Book.com). At first we were going to have that as a separate service, but we figured we'd do our clients a solid and make it standard with our content. Ultimately, this will be more beneficial to your websites.

That being said, below are our pricing levels:

  • Standard content writing — $0.030/word,
  • Content writing wherein title, description, keyword and H1 metatags come included — $0.035/word,
  • Article spinning — $0.040/word,
  • Article rewrites — $0.045/word,
  • For everything else, PM us for a quote!
 
I got my review from Barclay and they did a superb job. The only "issue" (really wasn't an issue) was that they covered only half of the industry due to the fact that I didn't specify.

I hit them up again and let them know the deal, and the turned out another article for me over 1000 words of pure fucking epicness. The content is sheer perfection. It's not a question of "were there any grammar errors" but rather "is this 5 star or 4.5 star?"

The writing is flawless, the coverage of the topic is perfect, and the price is right where it needs to be. You owe it to yourself to at least order one article to see how it works.
 
Got my review article back....What can I say this shit is right on! The article flowed very nice and they used a bit of common sense and humor in my article that made it a bit more personal to the reader. No spelling mistakes and it was just one of those articles where you say FINALLY because you dont have to change a thing and can send it right to ezine or your money site.

Will keep them on tap as part of my team but just to confirm are you charging 0.03 cents per word so $15 for a 500 word article?
 
This has to be the one of the best values in content writing that I have seen, not only on wickedfire but in general. I am outsourcing a lot of content and pretty much found that you tend to get what you pay for.

The content flows really well, the style was exactly what I was looking for and, as I said, I've paid 2 to 3 times as much in the past to get the same kind of quality. Already submitted more orders.

Communication with these guys is second to none as well.
 
Warning...

FYI - Bought a press release/google news service from B&R. I got an article back for review. I replied, and haven't heard back from them/him since. Yet I still see them posting on WF. Can you please reply to my PM? Thanks.
 
I've had another one my clients who used these two and haven't received their articles either.

While this isn't my problem I may have referred them to you two. Get your fucking act together, finish the job, and get the hell out. I was trying to be nice and treat ya'll like professionals but obviously you're no better than half the shit content writers that try to make it here. Nothing against those that do make it -- I use 4 or 5 different ones here on a pretty consistent basis.

No matter how well you can write if you can't meet deadlines and keep up with your clients you're going to fail. Which you've pretty much done. If you need to know the name of the client feel free to PM me.
 
pm sent - let's see if I can get my articles

I don't like looking like an idiot now with my previous review :(
