Writing Tech-related Articles – oDesk

We are in need of many computer technology articles for our computer repair website.

We need at least 2 articles per topic, which should be written in American English. The topics we need are:

1. Optimizing the computer's speed
2. Setting up Outlook 2007 or 2010
3. Deciding between a laptop and a netbook
4. Choosing a tablet (ipad, playbook, etc.)
5. Increasing battery life of laptops/netbooks
6. Cleaning a computer/laptop
7. Upgrading the computer's memory
8. Recovering data from a corrupted hard drive
9. Installing parental controls
10. Setting up a fax with the computer

Please know that it would take 4-7days before payment for the articles can be made because they will be run through Copyscape and edited. Articles have to be 100% original otherwise you will not be paid. Article writers who produce articles with quality beyond our expectations will receive bonuses.

Multiple writers will be hired for this project. Articles have to be submitted 5 days after contract started. This is to ensure that research is done. Also, a spreadsheet with the topic, article title and sources have to be submitted (See attached).

To make sure you are qualified to write tech articles, please create a 100-word paragraph about one of the 3 topics below (will also be checked using Copyscape):

1. OS
2. virus scan
3. ipad

Also, indicate in your application which topics you are comfortable writing about.
Ex.
4. Choosing a tablet (ipad, playbook, etc.)
7. Upgrading the computer's memory

Only applications that follow this format and order will be considered:
*topics you can write about from our list (max of 3 topics per batch)
*100-word paragraph about 1 of the 3 topics we require
*your questions about the job

The budget per article is $3 per 400 words (exclusive of odesk fees). Bonuses can range from $1-3 depending on the quality. Writers of articles that fail Copyscape will be asked to rewrite their work and will be given 48 hours to submit the rewritten article. If the rewritten article still fails, the article will not be used, the writer not paid, contract ended and appropriate feedback left. The topics will then be assigned to another writer. (You then have full ownership of your plagiarized article and do whatever you wish with it.)

It is understood that when you apply to this job post that you agree to a Non-disclosure agreement and transfer of copyright ownership of the articles to us (Writers' World/Quadro J). (Of course, these are for articles that pass Copyscape).

Thank you for your time and we're looking forward to working with you.

-JL

P.S. If you do not agree to all of the terms of this assignment please do not bother to apply so we do not waste your time and ours.
