First Message:
Good Morning and thank you for finding time to reach out to us. We are looking for a writer for a duration of 6 months. We need someone with a pretty fast turnaround since we have clients requesting the articles on the go. Basically, the articles will be assigned and required back in a few hours. The extent of research is rather minimal so you can be sure that will not affect the quality in any way, even as we will demand strict adherence to the guidelines given, including the deadlines for each assignment. Our starting budget is USD 0.038 per word. Payments are made every fortnight and you get to choose your preferred payment method. The articles cover a wide range of topics; from home improvement, finance, news articles, product descriptions etc. I would like to know the niches you're not very confident in. Also, we are available for up to 22 hours a day so in case we have a deal, we will not consider time zones as so much of an issue but we would need to know where you are based and what your preferred working hours would be. Kindly reply to these questions and feel free to ask any you may have. If everything else is agreeable to you, I would like us to start today 1:00pm EST. We can handle one article and then proceed in earnest tomorrow.

How to Rank High in Miami

People may think Florida as a gigantic retirement home. I have to admit I did too. I imagined Miami crowded with Zimmer frames and walking sticks on sunset boulevard along with zillions of tourists promptly deserting the massive cruise lines. We’ll have to assume we were wrong.

According to recent surveys, Florida ranks at the top position in higher education. This means Florida is ranking on top of the list for families, students and job creators to live in. University of Miami seems like a dream place to study. The campus is close to the ocean, just southwest of downtown Miami. Who wouldn’t want to cram there?

Miami is the Happiest City to Work in, and no one is able to decide if the reason why is the amazing climate, the endless beaches or the renowned night life. Our sunshine state’s favorite city is also developing a top of the art tech scene.

The fertile region is massively growing as a technology hub. The greater Miami economy offers a wide range of opportunities for startups. Remember there is no income tax in the southernmost state in the USA. So blooming tech companies have no worries to attract any one they want to hire.

Multinational companies are also densely investing in this area, more than a thousand global corporations are now located on the bay. This makes Miami ranking at the top position of the Most International Cities in the United States, and the second fastest growing economy amongst large US cities. No wonder why it has also been named America’s cleanest city.


Tourism is an undoubtful economic benefit for Miami. Every year, no less than 15.5 million tourists visit Florida’s cultural center, and nearly a third of them coming across cruise ship passengers who traveled through Port Miami. Among the numerous reasons for wealthy tourists to come and visit is that Miami is ranked in top 3 of the most fun city in America, and maybe also the alluring climate. Average temperature in Miami is 75 Fahrenheit, from lowest at 60 to highs at 90, will you have another Mojito dear?
