AWESOME writer to write AWESOMELY HELPFUL financial assistance articles

==THE JOB== I'm looking for a writer to write articles for a website about financial help/aid/low income/mortgage assistance (see end of description for examples of the type of articles you will be expected to write). The goal here is to provide real help to real people who are suffering from dire financial issues, not to write for search engines or game the system. Quite simply, I am looking for quality writers who can actually write quality, not SEO writer hacks. The focus should be on the content and the reader! This website will have quite a few articles. I would say between 100-200. The focus, as stated is QUALITY. In many cases, we will look at some of the top articles about the topic and BETTER them in every way. This is where the research part comes in -- you will look at what's out there for the topic on the top sites/articles about it and write longer and even more informative articles. ==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 and who's mother language is NOT English. This means no Indian, Pakistani, African, Filipino, European, or other non native English-born persons, please. 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 50 percent of your time here. I'm NOT looking for content filler, SEO-loaded articles. These are to be high quality articles full of information and entertaining to read, aimed at single mothers / single parents. If you are not a great writer, don't apply. ==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 $5 - 10$ per 1000 words or about 500-1000 bucks, depending on how good the writing and content is. 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! 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 about financial help topics. *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.
