Job Title: Web Writer (Contract)

Overview: Research and Write Content related to baby shower themes. Articles should be at least 500 words and contain unique content. We are looking for articles that are easy to read and both informative and entertaining. This is a good opportunity for someone looking for a little cash on the side or some relevant intern experience. If you get good at this, then we may be able to offer some ongoing writing projects.

Language and Construction:
Articles must be written in “American” English with grammar and sentence structure consistent with that found in a professional journal or popular magazine. If English is not your native language, you must be 100% certain that you can provide this level of quality. In fact, if English is not your native language, you should seriously consider not bidding as I have had to reject work in the past that did meet these standards. I have no interest in rewriting good content that has been poorly written and I have no interest in sending the same article back 1-2-3 times to get it written to the appropriate standard.

Articles should be written at a fifth grade level for maximum readability.

Requirements:
1. Fluent English and good grammar

2. Use keyword research to pick article topics. If you are not familiar with keyword research, click the link at the bottom and read the article.

Conditions:
Buyer (My Baby Shower Favors, LLC) will retain all rights and ownership. You are free to research anywhere, but the content you deliver must be completely original and adhere to all copyright laws. Submitting articles for this project that you have already submitted somewhere else or submitting these articles to another buyer in the future is simply not acceptable. The first violates our agreement and the second violates Copyright Law. All content will be checked for plagiarism.

Other Details:
If we like your work, we may offer future projects. We have many writing assignments available. We are looking for someone reliable to work with over the long term. Click on the "Baby Shower Ideas" link on the left navigation to view some samples of our writing.

Compensation:
Include your desired payment per 500 word article as well as your hourly rate. We are hoping for $4 / article as we have gotten good articles in the past for this amount. Payment will be sent by Paypal or Google Checkout upon satisfactory completion of work.
