Is there a word limit on the three writing samples?

Reply

I have added samples over 800 words, so I’d say if you keep them under 1000 words, it should be fine.

I am interested in a tutorial to get me started. What places do you want me to research and how do you want my work submitted: example: Word Perfect, attached document?

The order information for product descriptions is often too vague.  I am not sure what clients are looking for.  For instance, currently there are multiple orders for optical lenses.  Not a particular brand of lens, but a type of lens(I.e. Projection lens).  Is the client looking for a review of the range of available products?  An endorsement of a particular product?   What?

if clients provided more detail about what they were looking for, perhaps these orders would fill more quickly.

I've found on mutiple ocassions that the client's keyword combination makes the writing flow poorly or at least seem awkward. Take for example: "French country" in describing an architectural style. The correct term is "Country French"  (when beginning a sentence) or "French provential." These are industry standard terms for architecture and interior design.

My question is this: When I see a request for a word string which might get more hits or flow better as verbage, should I question the client? Should I follow the instructions as written? I've turned down assignments because the keywords were not usable as wriiten and certainly not more than once.

I typed in a meta description tag just as shown here, but the editor would not accept it.

Is the way to do a Meta description still valid? I’ve tried it and its not working on textbroker even though it works other places

Like a page-turner, SamBass' interview is scroll-moving with spirited tips, vivid imagery and a sense of urgency not to give up. And this, "If that doesn’t work, let it go. There will always be new clients, new orders and new opportunities," is so very true.

I think that the growth of instagram has improved over the years and it is the only social network that has the highest growth so i think that people are on instagram more than they are on facebook and that makes a different because you knoe that facebook has nothing that makes people want to look at it for but everyone knows that instagram is like snapchat you can slide your screen and it will let you take pictures and videos like snapchat but it is also known for the famous social network site because most of everybody in the world goes to the page as has a page on there.

Is is possible to make a numbered list that runs throughout the article?
<ol>Item One</ol>
text text text
<ol>Item Two</ol> and so on.

Will that work or is that a disaster in the making?

Hi, I have grasped the basics of HTML with my initial sample and I understand not to use it unless specifically requested but what is confusing me is how to format an order without using HTML?

For example; The only way to add headings, bold etc. when submitting text input is automatically in HTML and if I have already formatted it elsewhere it doesn’t transfer with copy/paste.

Hello would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re utilizing?

While writing the article, I hi-lighted the words and clicked "bold" and "Italicize" and the HTML tags showed. When I printed out the article, the tags did not show, but the words hi-lighted were exactly as I intended.
Well, after reading this directive, I am thinking "just go back to bed".

<italic><h1>This is a test</h1></italic>

This article says to use <em> for italics and <strong> for bold. I am familiar with <i> and <b>. Are they interchangeable? Not that it’s a big deal but as I’m burning up the keyboard I’d like to know that previous knowledge carries over rather than having to worry about using the wrong command.

Just curious, <em> v <i> and <strong> v <b> – <i> and <b> seem much easier and intuitive.

Reply

TB Staff 17. December 2019 - 16:17

Hi John, Thank you for your question!
<i> stands for italics while <em> stands for emphasis. So, you should use <em> if you want to put more stress on a word or phrase and <i> if you just want to appear it in italics without stressing the word or phrase. The same applies to <b> and <strong>. <b> stands for bold and <strong> for strong importance.

Hi!
Thank you so much. This is so helpful. Question is how do I combine the tags for H1 with italic to make the header Italic?

Reply

TB Staff 8. January 2020 - 9:05

Hi, thank you for your question! Try using this tool: https://wordtohtml.net/. It will allow you to format using "rich" text, and then convert it into HTML. You could also do it manually by adding an <em> tag alongside the <h1> tag. Just make sure the h1 tag is always on the outside. I hope this helps!

Can the author choose the subjects to write about ?

TB Staff 28. April 2020 - 9:05

Hi, thank you for your questions! The order topics are determined by the client, but the author chooses the orders that they would like to write. There is no percentage requirement of HTML, as each order’s requirements are different.

Seriously thank you so much because I was completely lost searching the web nonstop. Actually signed up a couple weeks ago but I was so intimidated by this but I actually accidentally overlooked the link on the textbroker website that led me to this page LOL. So I ended up searching all over the web to find all sorts of confusing instructions. So yes, thank you. I’ll let you know if I have any questions.
