Adult Blog Writing Services; Feedback appreciated

[TaylorMarieXXX]

I've been researching and poking around the adult community for about 6 months and out of all the boards this one seems the most serious about business and with the best posts. So if anyone could give me some feed back I'd appreciate it.

I recently finished law school (haven't taken bar) and decided to make some money in the mean time writing blog posts. So if anyone could give me input about pricing or feedback on my samples I would appreciate it. Like anything I'm sure there's plenty of 'noobie hazing' so I guess those folks can have their go also.

I put up a quick blog with some samples.

Thanks in advance for any input.

I wondered where the traffic leak was with thumblogger and I see they are sending your traffic to AFF.

Unreal.

So are other people, that shall remain nameless.

[TaylorMarieXXX]

I've done enough research to know that AFF is shady as fuck and its certainly something I'm not pleased with. Though I just needed something quick I could throw some samples up at. Can anyone give me some feedback?

From what Ive seen you have good writing skills. What are you considering charging?

Spell check! I'm not usually a stickler on the topic, but since this is a writing for hire scenario it's pertinent here. I noticed two typos with just a quick scan on your samples.

[miz_wright]

I second Toby - I've found a few mis-spelt words:

-- Sample of my Work - Harcore,
-- in the teen sample: "then slips of those sexy little girl panties..."
-- and in your initial pitch, you've got "Unforuntately."

Which is...

Unfortunate.

Thanks Toby...I didn't want to be the nit-picker that always says that.

And after reading it, I'm wondering about being a lawyer?


But the industry needs a few more reasonably priced attornies......

[TaylorMarieXXX]

Trust me, I know I'm an editing nazi. The blog thing didn't have a spell check, and I wanted to get it up, see if I could get a quick job so I can get the ball rolling on my personal blogs. When I do work for people I'm going to do it in word and spell check. When you have to draft 25 page legal motions and briefs and they take one point per error it gets you into being nit picky. I appreciate all the feedback.

In response to my one post, that was my big question, what should I charge and what lots can I do it in. I edit and reread them and try to keep them cogent and having a 'central topic' and I can bang out 3-4 an hour. So what would be a good going rate, supposing of course they are all edit free. Also what size batches should I offer my services in? One last note, obviously the first person who takes a chance with me I'm going to give a good break on price until I can get some references and a reputation for being legit. So obviously at first I'll work real cheap, but once that happens what should I charge. Thanks.

Thats a tough question as what to charge.
Good luck in carving out your own business with this.
I think its a good service to offer.

[Buckwheat]

I remember hanging with Jackie Susann back in the mid sixties when she was working on Valley of The Dolls. She pulled in some serious coin for that shit, especially when they made the movie.

BTW, I was up for the roll of Tony Polar but they gave it to some dude named Tony Scotti. "Who the fuck is Tony Scotti" you ask? . . .

Exactly! mt goddamn point!

Everybody know Buckwheat! And I could sing better than that Cracka too!

[TheEnforcer]

There are several mainstream article sites that can give you a reference point for what to charge. For example- http://www.need-an-article.net/ is a great service. They generally charge anywhere from $8-14 depending on the size of the article.

[TaylorMarieXXX]

Let's do this, if someone wants to bite the bullet, I'll do ten blog posts, average of 200 words each (total word count will thus be 2000, some under, some over but all we be with 20 words of the same size, and the total package will have a minimum 2000 words) for 20 bucks. I'll do the work upfront. You like the stuff, you keep it and use it and pay me, and provide me with references until I get some more work under my belt. You don't like the posts, no problem, you don't use them, and I use them as samples. Looking for someone with a decent rep and someone honest.

[Sexyteaser]

I will take that deal!
Hit me up on ICQ and I will give you my number.

[pam]

I can tell you on another forum with a huge blogging section the going rate seems to be $2 per 100-200 word posts.

I only like 2-3 sentences and have been paying around $1 per post. You don't have to put up any photos with me, either, they are there so you can write the post to the photos I have up.

I can definitely use another blog writer as well as a review writer.

As for my rep, well, I've had websites up since 1994 and no one can say I've never paid them, even when their work sucked. And I guess a few people here should be able to vouch for me

[TaylorMarieXXX]

Wow, must say I'm impressed with ya'lls forum here. I got good advice. This place is a lot better than the zoo. Had a good chat with shelellee (sp?), looks like shes got some work for me, look forward to hearing back from her.

Pam I'm flexible and I'll do those shorter ones for a buck a piece or $2 for 150-200 words. Hit me up on ICQ 412-842-608.

[pam]

I don't use ICQ -- have an email? If this works out you could have a part-time job just from me

BTW, hope you're famiiar with the hairy niche and all the related microniches, as that's what most of my sites consist of (though I do have a new network of microniche and microfetish sites about to launch, non-hairy)

[TaylorMarieXXX]

taylormariexxx@gmail.com

I know of the hairy niche. I'm sure if I can see some samples of 'good' work I can figure out the various 'things' people fixate on or what gets the screws turning. Either way I'll have some sample work for you to check it and see if you are interested.

Look forward to hearing from ya.

[Jace]

wow, blog writing isn't near as profitable as it was a year ago...LOL

I remember having a hard time finding quality posts for under $5, now they are going for $2???

jesus!

you seriously have to like in a third world nation or be the most creative spontaneous writer in the world to make that rate work

[Hell Puppy]

I'll write a quality page on just about any topic for $50.

That's a business lesson I learned from my old man. If you look to be the cheapest, you're going to have more work than you can do and spend all of your time dealing with cheap asses who want as much as they can get for as little as they can possibly pay.

Price yourself based on quality, and do quality work, and you get the people who dont care about money they just want the job done correctly. You work less, and your clients aren't near as much of a pain in the ass.

[TaylorMarieXXX]

I just finished writing ten posts for Pam's blog and if she's pleased and gets back to me I will finish the rest of the blog.

I'm not going to continue to offer my services this cheap. I realize that just showing up on this forum though I need to establish myself as trustworthy and legit.

In response to the one post I am pretty spontaneous and quick, thats how I can make it work.

Anyone else looking for some work done tonight?

What was the name of Joes company out in Las Vegas?
Very nice guy. Quality work but he moved from a rural setting to Vegas and ran this cheap deal on making galleriews several years ago.

THe poor guy had money prepaid falling from the sky and a newly found Las VEgas that called to him.

He ended up disappearing with a lot of peopls money. Im not sure what exactly happened but he was a very nice guy and he fell into this trap.

Thats why I told you earlier. Its a very tough call on pricing.

As for both the ladies interested in your services I can vouch for both personally. Pam has been around for years and is honest and fair.

Shellee has several people working for her now on different projects and one of my newest friends. Working for either of them should prove to be fruitful.

Welcome to Oprano.

[Jace]

what the hell, I will take 10 posts to try ya out for now while you have some low pricing going on

hit me up tomorrow

and btw, anyone that has worked for me know if you do good work for me more is bound to follow in the form of referrals...I am big on blogging, and HUGE on quality work

tomorrow on icq: 399608482

Well....yea.....I suppose so. But I liked the other avatar better.

If you want to do some legal blogging - Im a buyer.

Which one? The Firebird? GTO? Hairy pits toon? Groovy chick? Redheaded big mouth?

[TaylorMarieXXX]

Morning folks. Pam I sent you an email, check it out and let me know what you think. If you like the ten I did I can have the rest finished today no problem. Jace I will be hitting you up momentarily.

As for everyone else I'm going to try to get some work done the next couple of days and then I'm going to reprice everything. It'll still be a deal but I'm most concerned with gaining credibility right now.

In response to the legal writing theres a couple of issues I would need to talk to you about. There are some ethical issues there, and while I have my J.D. I'm not liscensed yet so if I were publishing legal articles my research would need to be checked and done under the supervision of someone liscensed. I don't mind doing legal research but I'm sorry but it won't be at $20 per 2k words. But we may be able to work something out.

[TaylorMarieXXX]

One last quick question. Yesterday I went ahead and set up a pay pal account. I was told that pay pal cannot be used for adult. The reason I did pay pal is that I can transfer the funds over to my checking account and withdraw them. Can I do that with epassporte? I don't do a ton of shopping online so what is the cheapest way to get paid for my services so I can convert it to cash for shit like gas and groceries?

[pam]

I checked a few posts and they were fine.

As far as ePassporte, for $35 per year you get a plastic card you can use at any ATM and withdraw your funds for a $2 charge. You can also tranfer your funds to your bank account if you are in the USA and again, $2 per pop.

Not true-

Paypal can be now used for durable goods, but not adult subscription like services.
However, what you are doing would probably be "acceptable." As you are providing a writing service, B to B.
Not really the same thing as what they don't want to deal with.
And Paypal will provide you a debit/credit card as well.

"Cheapest" way to get paid is for people to send you a check/money order....

[gonzo]

Great thread. My hat is off to all of you.

I guess I should be ashamed that there are people on here starting a new lucrative career while others are idle trying to hand out advice while havng to lay off their webmaster, designer and studio manager.

Im not.

[TaylorMarieXXX]

Jace hit me up when you get a chance. I ICQed you but have yet to hear back from you. Was looking forward to getting your work done for you this evening.

[TaylorMarieXXX]

Thanks gonzo, out of all the adult webmaster boards out here, the community you have here is peerless in the amount of help and the professionalism of the people I have worked with so far.

I am currently waiting for Jace to get back to me, and about finished with the work Pam has given me so far so I have this evening free to do work. Apparently I have to have 30 bucks in my account to set up epassporte. So if someone would like my services this evenign it would need to be paypal.

I've only hired people in the USA and have been happy with the results I've gotten.

Prices have come way down and people are taking advantage of it. I've seen people who claim to make lots of money a year from their websites begin to whore themselves out for $2 a post. When I ran a text writing/proofreading service I was fair but not cheap.

I think I'd burn out of it after a while. I know what it's like writing for my own stuff and there are just so many ways you can describe a hairy bush!

Still, at $2 a post, if it takes you 2 minutes to bang it out .... $60 an hour ain't too shabby for someone just starting out.

I am a licensed attorney in California and have been for more than a decade.

I have a small boutique firm that specializes in adult, and yes you can write legal articles with a JD. Most of the law review articles you see cited in cases are written by law students. Many of the opinions themselves are written by law students. Law clerks do most of the grunt work of the Judges.

I understand the pricing structure would be different.

Honestly, if you want to take the bar and pass, legal writing is the best practice you will have to do so.

Let me know.

Michael

Cool sounds good. It's just that I'm sure as you know good legal writing, even if for forter articles takes a decent amount of time just orienting oneself with the material, case law, and statutes, and that would need to be figured into the rate. Hit me up in ICQ at 412-842-608 and we'll see if we can work something out. I currently live 30 seconds from one of the better law libraries in Florida so research materials will not be an issue.

I understand about all that stuff with law review articles and stuff, but that is all done under academic supervision. I have my character and fitness coming up and you know rigorous that is and I wouldn't want to do anything at all that had the possibility of being interpretted as practicing without a liscense. So long as I am under your direct supervision I don't have a problem at all.

My background is transactional with a good amount of code and statutory law so I'm sure I can do it. I just know that even for 500 word article unless its interpretting a decision or a statute, such as synthesising several cases or comparing differences in Fed Circuit Courts I am looking at atleast 2 hours of research before I put the proverbial pen to paper. But lets see if we can't work something out. It's certainly a subject that I find engaging so I know the work wouldn't be as miserable as some kinds of legal research can be.

I look forward to seeing if we can put something together.

[Jace]

Sorry I have not got back to you yet

I got offered a partnership today and all the legal aspects of it took almost all my time, and probably will for the next few days....if I miss out, oh well, this offer was too good to pass up

[TaylorMarieXXX]

No problem Jace. Hit me up when you get situated. In poking around you seem like someone I would like to work with.

I'd like to say a big thanks to Pam for giving me a chance. After I finished the initial bit of work from her she gave me a bunch. Big ups, and if you ever need anything on a quick turn around I'll remember you got me started and get you turned around real quick.

I'm going to be busy with Pam until probably Sunday morning, but after that I'll have room for a a few jobs.

Finally a big ups to the community here. I lurked for 6 months, soaked up as much info as I could. I noticed a demand for something and offered a service with some of ya'lls guidence. Today I got my first pay for my work. I'm sure you guys can remember how it felt the first time you got paid in this industry (and unless you were talent who just finished getting assfucked\fisted) it felt pretty good. So thanks ya'll. Now I've got a bunch of work to do.

[pam]

You do great work -- no complaints at all, that's why I paid fast and in advance

But sugar, don't book others yet, I have another 40-50 sites you haven't yet seen that need posts! Didn't want to scare you off but no, they aren't in the same niche ....

[Toby]

You have a PM.

[TaylorMarieXXX]

Thanks Pam. I will never forget that you were the first person to give me a chance and were very generous in paying me in advance after I had only done that one blog site for you. And it is my plan to always dedicate a certain percentage (atleast 20%) of my time to working on your projects and getting through your 50 other sites! And with no client of mine will I ever take on or begin work on a new project when they have paid me in advance and I have work to do for them. And since you did give me my first chance and were really cool about getting me paid even though I didn't have epassporte I will always give you a substantial break on price. All the being said the rate I quoted you (as I stated in the post) was a low temporary one for the person taking a 'chance' on me. So of course I will continue to work for you Pam (and don't worry I'm not going to double my price on you or anything like that), its just for some reason that content takes me a while to write and if I have to think of another way to describe Hairy Harley (who isn't personally my taste) as sexy I'm going to lose my mind. So don't worry Pam, I will work for you as long as I'm doing this gig, but in order to make this work I need to take on clients at something closer to a market rate.

So, after all the disclaimer, if you are interested in work hit me up. If you are able to email me the blog (if its up) or a similiar one with similiar content and more importantly one that has posts of the lengths you desire, as well as how many posts you are looking for, that way when I get back to you I can quote you a price. Right now I've got room for one client which I would be getting to Likely Monday afternoon. This weekend I need to finish up the work Pam paid for and I have someone booked for after that. So if you think you could use me hit me up at taylormariexxx@gmail.com

Thanks everyone, especially Pam. (even if I do get the sense that she would've rather told everyone my work sucked so she could've kept me all to herself)

[NewbieBot]

I am sorry this has happened to you. I hope things get better soon.

[TaylorMarieXXX]

Things are going great and I would like to thank everyone yet again for all their help and guidence. Currently I am writing Pam 20 posts per day until her retainer is paid off and tonight I'm going to finish off some work I'm doing for Toby. He seems very pleased but I'll let him pipe in here if he wants when I'm finished.

So I was letting anyone who is interested in some blog posts know that I have some time tonight and tomorow for anyone who is interested in 15, 5-6 sentence (my sentences are relatively long) posts for $4.25 a post. Hit me up if you are interested. My current policy is half the work upfront, at which point you review you it, then full payment is due with the agreement that the balance of the work shall be done within 24 hours.

Its looking like I am going to work for Pam longterm doing 20 posts (her's are short) per day. Also it's looking (and I hope so because he's been professional and great) like I'm going to be doing a lot more work for Toby. I write this because at this rate very shortly things will get where I cannot take anymore clients. So if you are interested in working with me let me know.

[TaylorMarieXXX]

Hey guys figured I'd let everyone know about a special I'm running to try and get some extra cash for the Daytona 500 race I'm going to.

$3 per post, approximately 150 words. 20 post minimum.

$1.50 per post, approximately 2-3 sentence. 50 post minimum.

[Greg B]

Wow! What a thread!

Marie, I'm a professional writer. Been one for over 20 years or more.

I decided to try out writing blog posts and reviews for some webmasters and in a little over a month it's paid 4 figures.

Pricing is reasonable at $2-$3 per 100-150 words. Reviews are more. I just toss in a DVD and have fun punching the stuff out.

Glad to see someone else getting off the ground floor too.

btw, I work with umpteen numbers of large law firms and believe you me they are some blogging fools. You'll get work in the legal field EASY if you poke around a bit. I've been doing it for FREE for years before blogging was even cool.

I've never had a client disappointed and they always pay on time.
