Hello All! I'm experimenting with utilizing Mturk for crowdsourcing my content creation needs. I'll primarily be requesting tech news type articles but from time to time I may branch out into other verticals. The standard rate at this point is $4.00 for a 500-600 word article with bonuses for quality articles. I'm open to feedback on this price point, the entire reason I'm here on the forum is to get better feedback from the folks that are working on my HIT's. General Do's/Dont's for all my gigs. Please do not use first person which includes I, we and/or my. These articles will be used on a tech news site, write it with that type of audience in mind. We don't just want "filler content" we want it to sound like NEWS. Your submission must be 500 words to 600 words and grammatically correct. No award will be given for submissions of less than 500 words. No award will be given for submissions that include filler content. No award will be given for submissions that are not written like a news article Your writing must be original quality content and can not simply be a copy of part of the website or any other website. I will check your work using Google and Copyscape for originality. You will not receive credit for copying. If you use quotes from the resources provided please note it at the bottom of your article so that I can attribute said quotes to the original source. Posts with HIT's to follow!
