You need web content that keeps people reading long enough to make a purchase decision, subscribe to your newsletter or click on an ad. And that's exactly what I do. I turn boring topics into engaging ones, make difficult subject matter accessible to the masses and build content specifically for your audience.

When you work with me, I'm the only person you'll ever deal with. There’s no outsourcing. There’s no team. I write all of the content myself. That means I can’t turn around 10,000 words in a day, but it does mean you’ll always have a direct line of communication with the person writing your content. I don't have room for middlemen mucking up communication between the writer and the client.

Rates

Projects start at $3.50/100 words. Some projects may require higher rates, but most don’t. Sometimes you’ll pay a bit less as a result of bulk discounts, sales, or loyalty bonuses (you'll find details below).

I prefer to work with clients long-term or on large one-off projects. That way I have the ability to really learn your niche and audience. As a result, I'm able to provide more value to you and your users.

Types of Content & How I Write

  • Static Web Pages — Home, About, Contact, Profiles, etc.
  • Blog Posts
  • General Articles
  • Product Reviews
  • Product Descriptions
  • Newsletters
  • Press Releases — Press Releases are a flat $50. I don't distribute, but you'll be hard pressed to find a better press release writer for under $150 per release.
  • eBooks & Reports — Custom quoted based on research, formatting and other special requirements.

I’m a thorough researcher and it shows in my writing. My content is both knowledgeable and helpful to readers. One of the ways I do that is by linking to background research and primary sources whenever available. Nearly all of my content contains multiple links to authoritative, interesting or highly relevant resources that assist in positioning you as an authority in your market. Plus, I hear big G and the other search engines like that sort of thing.

I’ll write about most topics, but there are areas I won’t touch. I’m not going to instruct someone on how to break major laws. I’m not going to promote sex tourism. I’m not going to do your homework. If you aren’t sure, ask. I don’t judge and I won’t be a dick about it, there are simply some topics that I won’t cover.

PM or Skype me if you’re interested. My Skype is statelizard. I'm usually easy to reach.

Reviews, Discounts, Deals and Steals

Review Copies

I'm not in the business of working for free, but I’m going to give one free review copy of up to 1,000 words to a senior member with a solid reputation, 500+ posts, and an iTrader of 20+. First man/woman to the table wins the chicken.

Discounted Trials

Samples are generic and offer limited insight. I’m not a big fan of sending them out. I can, and I will if you insist, but I’d prefer you judge me on a piece of content built specifically for you. That’s why I'm offering everyone a trial run at a discounted rate of $1.75/100 words. Trials must be between 500 and 1000 words. You only get one and you forfeit the trial by asking for a sample. It's one or the other. You must contact me via PM or Skype to take advantage of the trial offer.

Bulk Discounts*

Orders of 5,000+ words - 5% discount ($3.32/100 words) — Order Now
Orders of 10,000+ words - 10% discount ($3.15/100 words) — Order Now
Orders of 20,000+ words - 17% discount ($2.90/100 words) — Order Now

* When ordering through the bulk discount form, be sure to input the quantity correctly. If you want 5,600 words, you put 56 in the quantity. In other words, take the total number of words you want and divide by 100. Enter the result in the quantity field on the order form and hit update. For reference, the minimum price for 5,000+ words is $166, 10,000+ words is $315, and 20,000+ words is $580. If your total is below those, you have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

Bulk orders can be delivered all at once, dripped daily or delivered in batches over a period of days, weeks or months. Contact me via PM or Skype to discuss your ordering options.

January Deals

I’m currently offering the following content deals for January. There is limited availability. First come, first serve.**

  • 2,500 words - $67.50 ($2.70/100 words) - Save $20 - 6 available — Order Now
  • 5,000 words - $130 ($2.60/100 words) - Save $36.25 - 5 available — Order Now
  • 10,000 words - $250 (2.50/100 words) - Save $65 - 2 available — Order Now

** These are fixed amount packages. Each package contains the number of words listed above. When ordering, you'll notice a quantity box is available. 1 = 1 package, 2 = 2 packages, etc. Please keep this in mind when ordering.

When you place an order using the links above be sure to stay on the page. You will be redirected to an order confirmation and project brief. Fill it out as best you can. It's the first real contact we have about the project. It's important. If for some reason you aren't redirected, PM or Skype me with your transaction # and email. I'll get it taken care of.

Loyalty Bonus Program

The loyalty bonus program is my way of thanking long-term and/or big project clients. Here's how it works:
Every time you place an order, you earn credit toward a future content purchase. You can save the credits to get free content, or use them to reduce the cost of a future purchase. The amount of credit you earn is based on how much content you have purchased since opening your account.
  • Level 1 = $0-$200 — Earn 7.5% for every dollar spent
  • Level 2 = $201-$700 — Earn 10% for every dollar spent
  • Level 3 = $701-$3500 — Earn 12.5% for every dollar spent
  • Level 4 = $3501+ — Earn 15% for every dollar spent

For example, say you have purchased $2900 worth of content over the life of your account. But instead of redeeming them along the way you saved all of your rewards points. You will have earned:

  • $15 from level 1
  • $50 from level 2
  • $275 from level 3

By purchasing $2900 of content over the life of your account, you would have accumulated $340 in credits for future content. That works out to a nearly 12% savings. And remember, your level is based on your lifetime purchases, so even if you cash out, your level stays the same. Loyalty credits can be used to purchase any content I am offering at the time of redemption.


Beyond The Delivery Date Money Back Guarantee

Deadlines are important and I know that finding a reliable freelancer is difficult. That’s why I put my money where my mouth is. When I give you a delivery date, I meet it. If I’m late, I refund 100% of that order. Plus you get the content and full rights to use it as you wish.

Let’s be clear though, I’m not an idiot. I don’t set delivery dates until I know the parameters of your order. If I’ve started the project and you significantly change the direction of your order, a new delivery date will be agreed upon. The delivery date guarantee does not include any revisions you request after the order is delivered. I do offer free revisions for up to 1 month after delivery. You get 1 major revision and up to 3 minor revisions if something needs cleaning up. A major revision is not a complete rewrite. It is important that we both know what you expect out of the project before I start working on it. This is the only way I can keep my rates reasonable and offer monthly deals and discounts.

Estimating turnaround time without knowing the specifics of your project is like guessing how many marbles are in a jar. On top of that, if other orders rush in before yours, the TAT will already have changed. But in general:
  • Single articles are turned around in 1-3 days
  • Batches of up to 5,000 words turned around in 3-6 days
  • Anything over that is complete guessing game without knowing when you're ordering, what you're ordering, and what else I have on my plate

To be safe, go ahead and shoot me a message if you need something turned around quickly.

PM me, Skype me, or click one of the order links above to get started.

Bump 1/2
 
Could you please send over some sample quality?

I would like to read something technical, about a service, a product and humour.

Articles geared towards UK audience would be preferred.

Serious buyer, hence asking about the different quality types.
 
Ordered again. Last article was top notch, but great communication and actual ideas contributed seal the deal.

Keeping my fingers crossed and looking forward to working more together.
 
Final bump before the thread closes.

Earliest available turnaround is currently Wednesday the 21st.

All outstanding orders are on schedule to be delivered on the agreed upon dates. I want to thank everyone who ordered. You guys are certainly keeping me busy. So, thank you.

Another thread will go up sometime within the next week. Until then, I'm still taking orders. January Specials are still available. If you need premium content in bulk it's a spectacular deal that won't be around again next month. Get your order in now!
