Hello WF folks,

Yesterday, I've offered 3 free articles up for review. Two of them have been dispatched to the claimers and as such, you can read their reviews below (thread: http://www.wickedfire.com/content/104875-free-articles-now.html):

PFGannon:
Etherswift can definitely write, no doubt about it.
I had him do a product review and description for a furniture blog of mine, which he delivered first thing this morning.

His grammar, structure, and style were all on point with what I was looking for. It's clear that he did his research, well beyond what I provided him with for reference.

I also had a special request that he had no problem working into the article.

I don't know what it is, but I've found A LOT of good writers on WF recently, maybe I'm just lucky.

I'll be placing an order next month fo sho.
Thanks for the review.

Impressed with the communication, I wish all the providers would keep me updated about my order this way. However, communication isn't everything and the most important thing is the content. First of all, let me say that the niche I'm in is quite difficult. Usually, writers either:
- write complete nonsense that I can't even put on my second-tier blogs
- do an article without any grammar/spelling errors but lacking the specific vocabulary, these ones can easily be put on second-tier blogs
- write excellent researched articles that can be published on the money site (only happened once or twice)
With some work, I believe that Etherswift can fall in the last category. If he didn't say he wasn't a native English speaker, I wouldn't know. Great flow, thorough research.
I'm currently thinking about how I can keep him busy :)

The 3rd review will be posted as soon as things move forward with the claimer, eliquid (waiting for his response).

I'm not gonna "pimp myself out" (too much) with big, red text that makes your eyes bleed. As you can see from the above reviews, I proved that I can write quality stuff.

If you are looking for quality and not cheap-ass, borked English in your articles, then you've arrived at the perfect spot.

Quick info about my service:
Turnaround time: 24-48 hours, depends on workload. Usually, you'll probably get your article much earlier, but I just want a safety net, considering I'm in a different timezone than US and this can sometimes be an issue. Also, I think it goes without saying that large(r) orders will take more time to complete.

Pricing: for starters, $0.015 / word (per 500 words: click here for a convenient calculation and/or for those mathematically-challenged)

Transparency: I'm always going to be open about my current workload and I won't chew more than I can bite at a certain time. However, if for some unexpected, extraordinary reason, I cannot complete your order in the timeframe that we've agreed upon, I'll let you know about the situation and I'll either refund your money or ask for additional time, if possible from your side - the choice will be yours, the client.

I can surely discuss, in private, discount for bulk orders that ought to keep me busy for a while :)

If you have any questions, post here or via PM.

Lets get started.
 


After getting a great review sample, I placed a new paid order to test his abilities in a new niche. As expected, the content was great, so I've placed a full size order, and I can't wait to go over them. Grammar was great, nice use of vocabulary (smart, but not over people's heads), and well thought out ideas. I also asked him to soft sell a service somewhere in the content, and he nailed it.

Currently one of my two go-to writers at the moment. Highly recommended
 
^^
I also placed a paid order and will try to get an ongoing relationship with Etherswift. The first results are just as good as the free article.
 
I paid for an article, after reading the reviews I thought it was plenty safe to do. I also assumed that the article would be unique (maybe a mistake on my part, but this was assumed due to the "If you are looking for quality and not cheap-ass, borked English in your articles, then you've arrived at the perfect spot." statement in his OP).

Anyways, I got the article back and it was password protected which I thought was odd. Read it over and it was decent content. It read on a higher level than what you usually see for this price, so that was nice. Also did a good job explaining everything and giving detail.

However, I decided to run it through Copyscape Premium (as I always do) to see if he had actually done so. It turns out the article failed and was matched with 4 different sources totally 40% plagiarized.

source 1: 15%
source 2: 11%
source 3: 8%
source 4: 6%

I've just sent him a PM and I'm sure he'll make this right, but in the future I would suggest running 100% of your writer or purchased articles through copyscape. I'd prefer to pay for a bit more choppy articles than plagiarized content. Besides that factor though the article was great spelling, grammar, etc was all in line.

I will say though that the copywrited content appears to be minor stuff, and some of the sentences are footnotes from studies it looks like, so it's not like he out right copied the whole thing. I think he had good intentions due to his length of time on the forum), however I just don't think he checked for duplicate content. I have no doubt he will see this in the morning and fix it 110% though.

The issue's resolution is currently 'work-in-progress'

Definitely, guys don't let my statement above hinder your decision to purchase. He has quite a few good reviews, and the issue is being resolved. I'm very pleased in the fact that he gave no excuses and did what he had to do to make things right!
 
I'll admit, I don't run stuff through copyscape, I don't know why.
I just got some more content which was high quality as usual.

Mind explaining though, Etherswift?
I'm still giving you the benefit of the doubt, I'm just curious, and it would probably help you in the long run to shed some light on the issue.
 
The issue has been solved via PM with LegitAM (at least on my side - I've sent him a revised article, personally tested, that passes copyscape). LegitAM has yet to respond in regards to this issue, but I'm sure he will soon enough.

However, I've got no reservation bringing this to the public.

The problem was that I've used similar phrasings to include results from a scientific study (pertinent to the topic), which were also quoted in other, multiple places on the internet (under the same form).

Also, I've used a short enumeration of countries/continents in the same order as the original source, and this, along with what I described above, triggered copyscape to mark my article as plagiary.

I hope this clears up all confusion. Also, I hope LegitAM will soon find the time to step up and confirm that he received a revised, 100% original article.

Cheers & keep 'em coming.
 
Thanks for the explication, I assumed it was something like that.
I'll be placing another order soon :)
 
got my free review copy and I was pretty amazed.

my subject is very scientific ( is based on medical terms ) and Etherswift came thru with a very high quality article that I will be using on the site I need it on. I was really looking to get a very average article like you get from other writers on this board, but what I really got was an article that was:

1. Delivered on time
2. Researched and well thought out
3. Proper grammar and spell checked
4. Very well detailed and laid out

These is not easy for a lot of articles I need since it involves medical and scientific subjects.

Good work and well worth any price.
 
I would be interested in using your services as well but am having trouble sending a PM (i do not have access yet).

He is good to go. It was some very minor stuff such as footnotes and little petty details as he stated, but I still figured it would be best to bring it to attention. Just needed to make sure it was unique to not be penalized for duplicate content (yes google is that gay and will count footnotes as duplicate content I think?).

I haven't had a chance to read the new article over yet, but I'm sure it will be great as was the first. My go to guy for the price for sure though...
 
The new price is $0.025 / word.

I'll bribe a mod to change it in the initial post as well.

For bulk orders, you'll most likely extort me to write for only $0.02 /word :)

Cheers.
 
I have had a couple of articles from Etherswift in an un-common niche both were well researched and turned around very fast. I had to change a couple of things to help the flow but this is more to do with the niche than the writer.
