I would like to highlight my skill in writing and knack for engaging readers in original compositions, as is demonstrated on both my personal website, FamilyFriendlyDaddyBlog.com, and my previous corporate sponsored blog, The Dadabase on Parents.com. Through these websites combined, I have been able to create content which has allowed me to connect with thousands of readers across the world, garnering over two million hits within the past several years. I am solely responsible for determining topics of interest, researching for validation, authoring, editing, managing and updating all material on the sites.
If you would like to hire me to write your next press release, based on what other companies have already hired me to do over the past year, this is my rate:
$1 per word; minimum 350 words.
Or, if you simply want to see your own work featured here on my blog, which obviously has healthy SEO, based on the fact I am approached weekly by companies and fellow writers who request to be featured on my platform, as I am currently featured as CreditDonkey’s Best Dad Blog 2017, you can simply hire me for that option as well. Based on what other companies have already hired me to do over the past year, this is my rate:
$35 per post.
Here are some recent examples of other companies and bloggers who hired me for that option:
