<![CDATA[Ad Factory is looking for talented writers with knowledge of SEO best practices and experience writing content for the web. Writing SEO content for Ad Factory is not about cramming a ton of keywords into a barely legible article. It's about seamlessly integrating your strategic keyword placement into a high quality article written for the human user. If you can write long form content that is both search engine friendly and engaging and useful to readers, and you want to make money putting your abilities to work, than this opportunity is for you. Ad Factory is a creative services marketplace that connects ad agencies and sophisticated advertisers with creative professionals. We provide large clients with a superior alternative to the traditional crowdsourcing model. Rather than sift through hundreds of submissions of largely amateur work, our clients prefer a much smaller pool stemming from a much higher caliber of talent. This model ensures that our clients receive better copy with less headache, and that our writers have more opportunity to do meaningful work and get paid. This is not crowdsourcing for small business, this is expertsourcing for large agencies with high standards. To uphold this model, we can only afford to work with the best. We will limit the amount of people who can submit work in our marketplace, as well as the number of submissions per project. We are a new type of crowdsourcing model, one that does not have 400 people compete for a $200 prize. We want to help ensure that both the client and the writer get what they are looking for. If you are a real writer who is ready to do real work and get paid, visit <a href="http://www.adfactory.com/designers_and_writers.php" rel="nofollow">Ad Factory</a> to apply.]]>

<![CDATA[We are looking for part time quality writers to write original articles documenting their experiences travelling to different destinations with kids and family. We have a website about travelling with kids (totsandtravel.com), and we are looking to increase the content on the site. This is a work from home opportunity as an independent contractor, and initially you would be paid $15 for each article that you produce. This can be increased later depending on the quality of your work and our budget. The articles must be original content (absolutely no plagiarism), be between 1 to 2 pages long (about 1,000 words give or take), and include at least 1 picture from your family travels (preferably more). The pictures are not required to show you or your family members in them, but they should be related in some way to the article, like pictures of the hotel, resort, restaurant, or other places you visited. Certain articles with more general information about travelling or about kids can be exempt from the need to provide pictures. If you have a computer with an Internet connection, a lifetime of memories travelling with family and/or young kids, and pictures of these experiences that you can bundle into a quality article, then you are our candidate! We've found that work-from-home moms or dads make the best candidates for this job, but it's available to anyone with the writing skills and lifetime experiences needed to create informative and engaging quality articles. In most cases you can write multiple articles about a single trip by covering multiple sections of the trip separately and in more detail. This can be done by breaking it up and focusing on some of the activities in which you participated, or points of interest that you visited like restaurants, dinner cruises, amusement parks, etc. You or your family member's first and last names can be changed to protect the guilty, but the stories much be engaging, entertaining, and informative with as much detail as possible (names of cities, states, countries, hotels, restaurants, businesses, etc). Some research may be necessary to make sure names and places are accurate. You can write about the places you visited and perhaps how well suited it would be for young children, or just general issues you've faced when travelling with family and children. Topics can vary. For instance, a review on accessories that facilitate travel with babies/toddlers would be great, or you can write a review about a certain hotel and how they rate on the kid/baby friendly scale. In order to determine if you qualify, we would need you to submit a sample of your writing by providing us with a detailed explanation of why you feel you are best suited for this project. At first there would be no limit on how many articles you can submit per/day as long as the quality is not compromised. The content you write for us would be displayed on our website in one form or another, along with a "by line" giving you credit as the author (if this is something you would like). Visitors to our site can then specifically search for your work if they like what they are reading. All rights to the content you produce would be our intellectual property of course. This is a uniquely flexible opportunity to work from your home and at your own pace. ]]>

<![CDATA[I'm the owner of Theirtoys.com, an adult toy site. We also run a fairly popular blog at <a href="http://theirtoys.com/sexblog" rel="nofollow">http://theirtoys.com/sexblog</a>. The blog currently gets 100,000 - 150,000 unique visitors per month. We are looking to dramatically increase the amount of content that is being produced for the blog, and are therefore hiring several regular writers. The topics can vary widely, but should be related to sex, sex toys, sexuality, GLBT issues, relationships, or anything else tangential. This is an opportunity for a young writer (college students are great) to make a bit of extra money writing in a very interesting and fun niche, and having their work seen by a lot of people. Because there has been a lot of interest in this position, it is going to work like this. If I accept you as a writer, you will be given a unique login to the blog (it is a wordpress blog) where you will be able to write blog posts without supervision. Once you have completed a blog post, you will submit it for approval. It will be either approved completely (if you did an excellent job, and I think the readers will like it) or I will ask you to do edits before approval or I will flat out reject it if the work is below par. Once I've approved a piece you have written in the blog, you will be paid $20 within 24 hours via paypal. There is no limit to the number of blog posts you will be allowed to write, so you can really make as much money as you like by writing excellent content. Here is what I am looking for in a blog post: 1. Topic must be inherently interesting. I'm not looking for anything generic. 2. It must be easy to consume. Blog writing is not like writing for a paper, it should be easily understood at a few glances, should include media (images and/or video) 3. It can be controversial, outrageous, or even disturbing. I'm looking for content that people will be interested in reading and sharing, almost anything goes. 4. Grammar and spelling can't be a major issue. If you suck at this, please don't apply. These will be edited briefly, mostly for content. If there are substantial grammatical or spelling errors, the post won't be approved. 5. Each entry should range between 800-1,500 words. If you're confident the blog entry is awesome but doesn't fit within these limits, no problem, but as a general rule they should be this long. If you are interested please do the following: 1. Give me a tiny bit of background (please don't attach a resume, I don't care, just tell me a little about yourself and why you would be good for this or would like doing it) 2. Give me an idea of what you might write as your first post. 3. A small writing sample in the body of the email (no attachments please) ]]>
