How to Place an Order

Step 1. Preparation

Formulate the assignment in advance. Research keywords for SEO copywriting.

Step 2. Add the order

Log in to the system and go to your personal account. In the "Orders" widget, click on the "Place an order" button.

Complete the fields:

1. Order name.
2. Topic category.
3. Type of work: copywriting, rewriting, proofreading, SEO copywriting or translation.
4. Type of text: selling, informational, news, email newsletter, etc.
5. Uniqueness requirements, as a percent: during order acceptance, the system will automatically determine the level of uniqueness. If it is less than 10% unique, the order will automatically be sent for revision.
6. Project folder: if necessary, create a folder and select it.
7. Order description: describe the requirements for the text, so the freelancer understands your expectations.
8. If necessary, upload a file with the original text.

Define the order requirements.

Set the deadline for the text. The minimum deadline is 2 hours, and the maximum is 90 days.

Indicate the desired number of characters in the “Character number” field. If necessary, check the box next to “Auto-rejection if the article length is less than 90% of the specified length”. If this box is checked, the system will only accept the text if it is more than 90% of the specified length). You can also specify if you want the system to count spaces in the character count.

Specify the complexity of the work. Please note the system can automatically change the complexity depending on the specified price. The prices for each skill level are listed below.

By checking “Only authors with the specified skill level are able to submit applications,” you will be limit the authors that are able to apply based on the complexity you specified. For instance, you can block beginners who have not yet confirmed their qualifications.

Fill in the “Price” you are willing to pay. You can specify the price per 1000 characters and for the whole order. Select the desired option.

If you have chosen a price per 1000 characters, click on the “Calculate the price” link to get the price for the whole order.

Recommended prices are automatically adjusted depending on the author’s skill level and the type of work (copywriting, rewriting, etc.). For example, minimum prices for rewriting are as follows:

• Without qualification — $1-5 per 1000 characters
• Bachelor’s Degree —$5 -8 per 1000 characters
• Master’s Degree — $9-15 per 1000 characters
• Content Doctor — $17-25 per 1000 characters

The system automatically limits access to authors of a particular skill level depending on the price you specify. For example, if you select “Bachelor’s Degree” in the “Work Complexity” field and $20 per 1000 characters for the price, the system will automatically change the work complexity to "Content Doctor”. In addition, only freelancers that are qualified with a “Content Doctor” skill level will be eligible to apply.

If this restriction is not required, you can:

1. Use additional order options. For example, place an individual order where the work complexity is not taken into account.
2. Uncheck the box "Only authors with the specified skill level can submit applications”.

For additional information about how to create an individual order and additional order options, you can find details on the instruction page.

At this point, you can finish the order posting. Click the “Post the Order” button to make it available for authors to view.
