Writer for Financial Topic Website needed (must be Native English Born)

==THE JOB== I'm looking for someone to write on financial topics -- loans, credit cards, banking account topics, savings tips, and other such topics. I need roughly 50 to 100 articles about financial topics. Each article will be anywhere from 1000 to 2000 words. ==THE REQUIREMENTS== The writer must be FROM (and born in) the United States (Canada is ok, but preference given to Americans because the content will be aimed towards that region). For this project, I won't be accepting writers who are not American/Canadian/UK/Australian and who's mother language is NOT English. This means no Indian, Pakistani, African, Filipino, non-English European, or other non native English-born persons, please. If you apply, you won't even be considered for this position and it's a waste of your time trying. You must be a great writer with your articles entertaining, snazzy, and funny -- and educational. Part of this job will require you to do research for your articles. In fact, the research part will make up 20 percent of your time here. I need a very good writer, one with a lot of style. If you have experience writing list type of articles, even better. And preference given to experienced writers who have written financial topics. I'm NOT looking for content filler, SEO-loaded articles. These are to be high quality articles full of information If your experience is writing Ezine articles, don't apply. I need far better quality than that. ==PAYMENT== The project will entail about $500 - $1000 with the option for more work afterwards. Most articles will be about 1000 words, with a few up to 1500-2000, depending on the topic. My budget here is about $10-15 per 1000 words, but with 2000 words per article and a long term commitment to at LEAST 50 articles (1000 USD) and maybe up to 100 articles $2000 USD. The initial rate may not be so high, but I promise you long term work to make up for it. I'm going to be picky here. I'm not trying to get a writer to churn out crappy 500 word filler articles for 3 bucks -- I want quality and I will pay for it, but you have to deliver on your end! You will be writing for a real audience of thousands of people a day, so your writing has to be GOOOD! ==TO APPLY== *Send me A 150 word paragraph stating your qualifications and explaining to me just why you think you can do this job. STATE YOUR BACKGROUND, WHERE YOU WHERE BORN, YOUR EDUCATION, AND WHY YOU FEEL YOU CAN ACTUALLY WRITE AWESOME ARTICLES THAT PEOPLE WANT TO READ *If you are shortlisted, we'll do a paid trial article (let's say 500-1000 words to test out your skill). Provided the work is quality, you will be paid for the article and begin writing more articles right away for the website. == THE STYLE OF ARTICLES YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO WRITE == articles in topic similar to: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL]
