I am doing a little marketing experiment this weekend.

My goal is to earn $100 via PayPal before 11:59 p.m. Monday, May 31st. Preferably, I’d like to finish early, like Sunday night.

That eliminates most affiliate marketing programs because they typically don’t pay instantly. Some do, but I’m thinking offering a service is going to be the most effective use of my time.

So, I am offering some of my services…

ARTICLE WRITING
I haven’t done any article writing for clients in a while, so I don’t have a set rate for it. This weekend’s special is going to be name your price, but the offer needs to be more than my editing rates because, I mean, come on…

EDITING
Perhaps you’ve written a solid report or eBook, but your writing skills are not up to par. I can assist you in polishing your written material.

Proofreading: $5.00 per 1000 words
Proofreading includes checking for typos, misspellings and other minor errors. This is a good option if your English skills are strong and you primarily need a second set of eyes to check your work.

Copyediting: $7.50 per 1000 words
Copyediting includes checking for typos, misspellings, grammatical errors and punctuation. It also includes any rewriting necessary for clarity or consistency. This is a good option if you’re not an experienced writer or your English skills are not strong.

GRAPHICS
This will depend upon what you want done. I’ve done Twitter backgrounds for $100, so if you want one of those, that would be awesome. Otherwise, I can do banner ads, simple logos, headers, starbursts, dancing monkeys, etc. I’ve done logo clean-up, converted bitmap/JPEG logos to vector. Need a 125×125 ad for your blog? I can do that. Again, this weekend’s fee is going to be name your price, but be reasonable.

If you want me to do something, eMail me at “hire dcr” (but no spaces or quotes) and that’ll be at (as in @) this blog address, that is dcrblogs.com. That’s dcrblogs.com with hiredcr and the little AT symbol in front of it. Got it?

I reserve the right to reject any offers that are just too low. I’m not going to write you ten articles for a buck or do 100 graphics for $1. It’s just not going to happen. So, contact me first and we’ll discuss and I’ll give you a yay or nay on your name your price offer.

Here’s the thing, though. This offer is only good until I’ve made $100 or 11:59 p.m. Monday, May 31, 2010. After that, it’s done. So you must ACT NOW!
