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.
