Freelance writing, educational facts-related website, pays $10 per post
I have already optimized the site and the site is currently displayed #1 for it's primary keyword. I have a full time job now, so I am not able to spend enough time in optimizing the newly added pages.
Contents are periodically added, on an average one new post a week. I am looking for a SEO expert who can work on optimizing all of these newly added posts.
I will be paying at the rate of $10 per post (per keyword)and each of the these keywords has a search volume of over 1000 and the competition is fairly low as per keyword tool
Expected result:
I want to place these new pages to be #1 on Google since the competition is medium to low. But if you can place at least within top 3 results that would be great!
As a SEO professional myself, I would like to know the strategies and the techniques you have done for each page separately in an excel.
No black hat techniques please - I would like to do it without violating Google's policy (only White hat techniques)
Since the site is developed in WP, I have used some of the best plugins and do most of the on-page optimization is done while creating the post itself.
Based on my availability sometimes there could be more post (up to 10 per month) or sometimes it could be less (3 per month)
If you have read it and decided to apply, please read it again to be more clear.

Freelance writing, Practical Homeschooling Magazine, pays $50 per article
We have no writer's guidelines per se. Rather, we ask you to briefly share your article idea with us as well as your background -- e.g., why you feel knowledgeable enough to write it. If we think it's appropriate and we have the space, we'll ask you to submit the article. If we then like the article, we send you our one-page Article Rights agreement for you to sign, which outlines your and our rights, the payment terms, etc.
What We Pay
We don't pay very much -- $50 per article, and that includes any photographs to accompany the article. If you write for us, it's for the opportunity to help others and (perhaps) for a modicum of fame, not for big $.
What We Are Looking For
Practical articles (with resource lists and, ideally, photos) that explain how to meet some homeschool challenge or how to venture forth in to some new area. Ideally you are an acknowledged expert on the topic.
Examples of freelance Work We Have Recently Published
* An article on how to make a good first impression on your first day of college, by a community college instructor whose classes include both public schooled and homeschooled students (PHS #62)
* An article about how participating in public-school baseball affected a homeschooled boy, from his perspective as an adult (PHS #61)
* A homeschool grad's impressions of what kind of people now are her real peer group (PHS #61)
* An article on how to attend law school at home, by an HSLDA legal assistant who is doing just that (PHS #61)
* An article about how homeschoolers can get published online through the venue of "fan fiction," from a girl who has been a frequent contributor to fan sites (PHD #60)
As you can see, we tend to run 1 to 3 freelance articles per issue.
What We Don't Want
* Theological articles
* Polemical articles about why everyone should homeschool (we write those ourselves!)
* "Why I Decided to Homeschool" articles
* Generic articles collecting ideas from other people's work (we prefer to hear directly from the original experts)
* Stories about local homescholers -- we suggest the homeschoolers themselves submit these to our "Show & Tell" feature
* Articles on topics already covered by our columnists
* "Curriculum" articles -- e.g., sample unit studies, artist biographies, historical pieces, etc.
* Self-promotional articles designed to tout a book, curriculum, or website. Articles must be of general interest and if resources are mentioned, they should not be yours.
Finally, we are only interested in unique and original work. So please let us know what topics and titles, if any, you have already submitted or had published on other homeschool magazines.

Freelance writing, Verge Magazine, pays C$0.10 minimum per word (worldwide)
Our Demographic:
Verge is the magazine for people who travel with purpose. It explores ways to get out and see the world by volunteering, working and studying overseas. Our readers are typically young (17-40 years), or young at heart, active, independent travellers who want to do something different and make a difference doing it. Some are seasoned travellers who have seen a good part of the world. Many are contemplating overseas travel for the first time and want to do it in a meaningful way.
What Makes a Good Article:
Editorial content in Verge Magazine is intended to inform and motivate the reader by profiling unique individuals and experiences that are timely and socially relevant. We look for articles that are issue-driven and combine an engaging and well-told story with nuts-and-bolts how-to information. Wherever possible and applicable, efforts should be made to provide sources where readers can find out more about the subject, or ways in which readers can become involved in the issue covered. In articles that discuss development or volunteer work, writers should try to structure their pieces as narratives – with anecdotes, quotations and a sense of story – and to include as much context as possible based on reliable sources – on the particular region featured, the local community and the benefits (or lack thereof) of the work being done. Writers should also read past issues to ensure that those issues have not already been covered.
What NOT to Send Us:
Please note that any material resembling "advertorial", promotional writing or material that covers a specific organization in an overtly promotional way will not be considered. If your story is about one particular organization or company, try to focus your discussion on the industry as a whole or broaden your coverage to mention other organizations that are doing similar work in the same field. We require that you inform us about any flights, accommodations, meals, etc. that were given to you free of charge or at a reduced rate as part of a familiarization or press trip. You must also tell us if you are working, or have worked or volunteered, for any tourism boards, companies or organizations related even indirectly to your story idea.
CONTENT DESCRIPTION
Departments
For all departmental articles:
• Sidebars providing useful resources or additional information related to the subject are strongly
recommended.
• Provide accompanying photos if at all possible.
• If applicable, submissions should incorporate a travel component, and provide information on how readers can get involved.
• Article length should be approximately 800 words.
Worldwise
A Worldwise article provides insight into a specific, often underreported, social, cultural or political issue in a region of the world, and how it is being addressed (either fostered if it is positive, or challenged if negative). Worldwise pieces reveal some unusual or lesser-known aspects of places.
Workwhere
Workwhere articles explore the ins and outs of working overseas. In particular, we are looking for inspirational stories of people “living the dream” and taking unique paths abroad. Typically, these articles have a strong service (i.e. how-to) slant.
Global Classroom
Global Classroom is about travel as education and is intended to highlight ways that education (both teaching and studying) can be extended far beyond the confines of the North American classroom. This section may also include information about learning or teaching opportunities outside of a formal classroom setting.
Out There
Profiles people engaged in activities that are in some way breaking new ground, particularly in the areas of travel, the environment and/or international development.
Your Environment
Your Environment articles cover specific, often underreported environmental issues throughout the world with an emphasis on people or groups who are engaging in initiatives to address these issues.
VolunTraveller
Travel stories that have a volunteering component, including voluntourism trips, international
development work and non-profit/charity organizations abroad. Stories should focus on responsible volunteer travel and provide insight into new or unique aspects of the field. Articles covering a particular volunteer abroad organization should discuss other organizations doing similar work for balance.
Feature Articles
Feature articles run approximately 2,000 to 2,500 words in length. This is a very competitive portion of Verge's content—if you haven't been published in Verge yet, we suggest you try for the departments described above before pitching a feature. Submissions for feature articles are evaluated based on the following criteria:
Unique Approach
A Verge feature is not about travel itineraries, predictable tourist experiences or luxury travel and five-star hotels. “Travelling with Purpose” means learning about the culture of a place first-hand. While a feature must be informative and factually rigorous, it should also have a certain sense of drama that engages the reader and encourages him or her to read on.
Subject Matter
Verge features cover a wide range of topics, but often profiles a person or group of people doing
something exceptional as part of their travels, or whose travels have led them to do something
exceptional. Feature articles explore ways that meaningful travel contributes to a greater understanding of world cultures and issues. Verge features not only engage the reader; they inform and provide insight into the topic at hand. Therefore, a Verge feature requires doing some research.
Photographs
A feature must be accompanied by high-quality photographs. If you are unable to provide your own photos, it is important that you tell us where we can obtain quality photos to accompany your story.
Sidebars
Please include one or more sidebars showing readers how to find out more.
PROPOSALS AND SUBMISSIONS
Unfortunately, Verge cannot reply to all queries submitted. We will reply to your query or manuscript within 8 weeks if we are interested in your idea. Please be aware that we may have already assigned or we may be working on a similar story. Unsolicited material, including photographs and illustrations, will not be returned without a self-addressed, stamped envelope. You may either submit a) a completed manuscript of your work for consideration, attached as a Microsoft Word document, or b) a detailed query outlining your story idea pasted into the body of the email message.
Please note: We do not take story proposals, queries or follow-ups over the phone.
Detailed Query: Present us with a clear and specific idea that shows you’re familiar with the magazine’s content and tone. Your detailed query should include the following:
1. Pitch—Try to answer these questions:
• What is your article about? What message will you communicate?
• In which section of Verge might it appear?
• Why do you think this article will be of interest to our readers?
• What will be your specific angle or way of approaching the subject? What theme will you use to
tie your information together? Most of our stories identify a current issue and then show how it's
being addressed.
• What information do you already have (sources, contacts, interviews), and what additional
research will you do?
2. Title, Deck and Lead—Give us a sample title, deck (subtitle) and lead (opening paragraph) for your article to show us your writing style and demonstrate how your introduction will entice the reader.
3. Outline—Tell us how the structure of the article will develop after the introduction.
4. Photos—Please indicate if you have photos to accompany your article or tell us how we can get
professional-quality slides, high-resolution digital or print images to illustrate it. You may email a series of 5 to 15 thumbnail-sized images, along with the name of the photographer and an indication of the pixel size of the full-sized image. Alternatively, direct us to an online portfolio or mail us a CD with a few preview images. Please note: Verge Magazine is not responsible for the return of, or damage to, any unsolicited slides, negatives, or photographs.
5. The Writer— Tell us a bit about yourself. Let us know what qualifications you have to write about this topic. Tell us where you have been previously published and include samples of your work. Include your full name, address, phone/fax numbers and email address.
EDITING AND PUBLICATION
The editor will notify you by email if we plan to move forward with your query or manuscript. At that time, the editor will confirm a story angle and topics to be covered, establish deadlines and offer direction about how to proceed. Usually the editor will ask to see your first draft. Changing a storyline or angle after it’s assigned can cause problems. If things are not working out as you
envisioned, discuss this with the editor well in advance. Previews of a manuscript by outside sources are a no-no. If a source requests to see and/or approve your manuscript before it’s published, please inform us. Editing is a normal part of the process. If major changes are needed, the editor may return the manuscript to the writer, with directions for revision. Major or minor revisions may be done by the editor, who will consult with the writer whenever possible. Last-minute changes may be necessary without notifying the writer, often due to space limitations. We do our very best to assign only stories that we fully intend to publish; however, the publisher reserves the right to not publish an article. When an assignment is not published, it's almost always because the story did not meet our requirements and the writer was unable or too busy to make the revisions we requested. For this reason we do not pay kill fees.
Manuscripts accepted by Verge Magazine will be considered available for publication without condition. Verge expects first North American print rights to your work. Please inform us if any portion or concept of your submission has been previously published or is being considered for publication anywhere else in the world. This includes social networking websites, forums, blogs, etc. If you include the date of publication, circulation/web traffic and reach of the other publication, as well as their contact information, we may be able to consider your piece. Articles accepted for publication in Verge Magazine may also appear on the Verge Magazine website
(www.vergemagazine.com), in an electronic version or any form of Verge Magazine, or used for Verge Magazine promotional purposes.
PAYMENT
First-time contributors are paid a rate of $0.10 (CAD) per word. This rate includes payment for any photos that accompany your piece. Regular contributors may earn more, but this must be pre-negotiated before a story is assigned. Payment, in Canadian dollars, is mailed within 45 days following the release date of the issue in which the material appears.
