We need domain-specific content. A lot of it. All original, all informed, and all professional. Oh…and did we mention that we need a lot of it?
We are a leading provider of membership-based domain intelligence and analytics for Web site owners, domain name investors and brand agents.
We’ve been looking for a writer for our current project. Quite frankly, though, we’re having a pretty tough time finding writers who are qualified to speak in an educated voice about domain names, domaining and related issues.
We are currently soliciting bids from qualified writers for the creation of content to flesh out our new Education section. Submit your proposal, get selected as our writer and you'll have your work all over one of the domain industry's most significant Web sites—and one of the most heavily trafficked Web sites in the world.
Please read the requirements below in full and follow the instructions.
Please PM me by 12pm Pacific Time on 2/19/2010 with your bid for this project. I will respond to everyone who sends a bid by deadline time.
Please submit any general or specific questions about this proposal, the project itself, or the weather in your home town as posts on this string. I will check this board daily and post answers to any [half reasonable] questions for the benefit of all.
We’re really looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks so much for your interest, and good luck!
Content Population of the “Education” Section
The Project
We are currently soliciting bids from qualified writers for the creation of content to flesh out our new Education section. With traffic of millions of unique visitors per month, you’ll definitely be getting your work in front of a lot of eyes!
We will be introducing a new Education section to our Web site, and are currently accepting bids for content creation for this section.
We are seeking a writer to provide content. The writer we select will demonstrate knowledge and experience in the field of Internet domain names, particularly as that field concerns Web site owners, domain name investors, and those who are charged with protecting their firms’ trademarks.
The writer we select will be hired to provide 45 (forty-five) original articles of substance, as described below. This content will be posted on our Web site without byline, in original and/or modified state, and will become our exclusive property, along with all subsequent rights of exclusive ownership.
Target Groups
Content will be created to appropriately address four target audiences:
Deliverables
The deliverables for this project are as follows:
1) Article Topics
The selected writer will generate a list of 60 rough article titles (not polished titles, but titles specifically communicating the general content of the article). Each of these rough titles will include the writer’s determination of whether that title would be a 500-word article or a 1000-word article. Each of these rough titles will also include the writer’s determination of the Target Group (see above) that specific article would primarily address. The writer will take care to ensure that each Target Group is represented roughly equally in the list.
From this list, we will select the 45 articles we would like produced.
Upon notification of article selection, the writer will select (with our approval) one of the titles from this list and produce a complete article. The writer will submit the article, and may receive one round of revision requests—the writer will submit any such revision as requested.
At this point, we will provide feedback and the writer will either be directed to continue, or we will elect to discontinue the relationship and pay the writer $100.00.
2) Articles
If we elect that the writer should be accepted, the writer will produce:
