Types of Writing Assignments

Standard orders can be found in the Writer’s Area. They are original articles that you write for publishers that feature good spelling, grammar, and research. Unless the publisher states otherwise, these articles need to be entertaining-to-read, informative essays written formally and in the third person. Articles that appear in the pink highlighted areas are the oldest articles in the queue and need to be completed before non-highlighted articles.

Rewrite orders are articles where you rewrite an existing article provided by the publisher. When you choose one of these articles, you are provided with text from the publisher. You rewrite the existing article sentence by sentence (or whatever method you choose) to create unique content from the original article. You can take a different perspective using the same idea in different words to create that article. To do this successfully the article must be different enough that it will pass our duplicate article check. Research needed for these articles are minimal if at all. Attention: we have automatic features that prevent duplicate content and submitting articles too similar to the original. Please do not use spinning techniques or software.

Direct Orders are placed from the publisher directly to a particular writer based on his or her profile. You develop your own profile including pay rate, maximum length of articles and the number of articles in your queue at one time. Prompt production of article material can encourage client satisfaction and your direct order status a writer.
