Hi and thanks for inviting me to your project
To be honest, the rate offered is a little on the low side for me: 1.000 word articles usually cost a minimum of $15 provided information is easily accessible. However, I am sure you would find this worth your while. I would be happy to provide samples of completed work in almost any niche for your consideration, and should you not find my work worth my rate (which would surprise me), we can part ways amicably. turning to your questions:
I have been with Freelancer.com for 3 years, however, as marketing manager in my previous work, (12 years), I wrote product descriptions, advertorials, website content and articles for my company where I was a business partner.
I have done so much reading on content marketing and internet marketing, that it would be difficult to point you to any specific articles. Of course, I have looked at Forbes, Businessinsider, Huffingtonpost, kissmetrics - and too many others to mention.
I am a full time content writer, but my time is usually booked (at my going rate) several days in advance. If I have sufficient notice, I will schedule accordingly and prioritize your work according to agreed deadlines. However, I have a wide customer base and prefer to keep it that way, so I do not commit to more than 10 hours per week for any one customer.
Regards
Andrea Durrheim
