Freelance writing, eco-friendly/ environmental blog, pays $13.50 per article

I am looking to develop a relationship with someone who would eventually become my ghost writer for my environmental / eco friendly issues blog. If I am happy with your work there is the potential for a lot more on a regular basis.

The initial assignment is to assess your writing style and work habits (i.e. punctuality, ability to follow directions, etc.)

This assignment is for TEN articles total. I will pay $13.50 per article. Each article must be at least 600 words in length. I will give you a primary keyword that must be used for each article, along with a couple of secondary keywords to use as you see fit. The article should be SEO optimized (repeating primary keyword several times, etc.)

The articles may be informational in nature, or they may be a review for a product for which information is available on the web.

I will ask for five articles at a time and pay half the total as a milestone, in order to make sure we're on the right track.

The tone of the articles should be conversational, interesting, yet authoritative on the topic. The articles should have a consistent "voice"/style/tone.

I need very high quality articles where the reader should definitely learn something new with each article you write. You will be responsible for researching the topic and coming up with an eye-catching title for each article (though I may occasionally supply titles to guide you in a particular direction.)

The articles must be written in flawless English with ZERO spelling and grammatical errors, so I am looking ONLY for a native English speaker. Articles with spelling and grammatical errors will be rejected. Articles that are filled with "fluff," repetitive or unnecessary words, and the like will also be rejected.

All articles must be original and unique, and able to pass a copyscape check.

The successful applicant will show a demonstrated commitment to environmental / eco friendly issues, preferably based on his/her previous work. However I would also be fine with someone with a passion for these issues even if you haven't written about it before.

Please submit a writing sample with your application. It can be anything you like.

You should also answer this question in your response: why are you interested in environmental / eco friendly issues, and what experience do you have with those issues?
