Good to hear from you SherS! I was wondering how it's been going for you.
It definitely is a lot of work, but I am producing more than they asked for since that does seem to be key. Luckily, I cleared my schedule really well so I've pretty much devoted this entire two weeks to just about.com, with a few other small jobs (and ironically, got bombarded with a few big jobs these last three days, but thankfully both clients are patient with me).
The thing that keeps me going is definitetly knowing that someone out there could be working harder, producing more, and so on. I'm fairly competitive, so it's helping me push myself further.
I had my first review today, and it seemed to go alright. I'm just wondering, for those who have been through this, did you basically just get a list of things that had to be changed? That's pretty much what I had, and they're all very doable (mostly just using a different template or changing a certain link).
I was hoping for a bit more feedback on the actual content, if it's what they were looking for, but I didn't get that. Is that common?
Right now I suppose that's a bit of a worry too, just that I know I've produced a lot of articles but whether they are going to be on the lines of exactly what they are looking for.
I'd say too, if I could offer one piece of advice, definitely pre-write, pre-write, pre-write. I did have to go over all the articles I pre-wrote again, but that was mostly because of my grammar issue.
The formatting I didn't find too bad, it takes a little time, but for the most part it's not too bad to transform the pieces to fit what they need.
Another thing that does worry me slightly, I posted a lot of articles these last 5 days, but the next five days I will be slower. I have a mid-term this week, so I have to do
some studying for it. I just hope it won't look badly if my production rate slows now.
