Project Description:

Our company handles an array of e-commerce and web-related services for clients. We attempt to capture a client's complete business by offering them solutions to whatever related concerns they have.

We have an ongoing need for astroturfing, writing for social networking, creating reviews, forum and blog comments, etc. on behalf of clients.

This project is a trial, launched to both service a particular client's needs as well as to find a reliable contractor to whom we can hopefully direct increasing amounts of business.

This client runs a retail vehicle sales business (Car Dealership.) We need regular reviews of the dealership, reviews of the vehicles, astroturfing on forums, message boards, etc., usage of Facebook, Digg, Twitter and other social networking services, comments on blogs, and related, all with the goal of increasing the public perception of value for this client's business and products.

The details of the duties are:
• Aggregate 4 entries to each of 54 blogs per week, sometimes using the same post with different keywords that would be relevant to the blogs. You will be primarily posting via email, which allows you to post to multiple blogs at once. Utilize pictures whenever possible, at least 75% of blog entries should have a picture or other approved item included.
• Utilize 30 different social networking services (we will provide a list), creating 2 'entries' per week for each service.
• Each week research and add 3 sites to a list of sites on which you can comment and leave a link. Once you're at 30 sites add one more a week. Actually write 2 comments per day, or a total of 60 comments per month, trying to distribute the comments evenly throughout the repertoire of sites.
• Set up 5 Squidoo Pages initially, then add 1 new Squidoo Page per month. Make a total of 12 contributions per month, as evenly as possible distributed through them all. We need to retain ownership and control of these sites and will provide you with details on what account and password to use.
• Keep a daily journal as we've described, and email us your updated journal daily.


Writing must be understandable, in proper English without grammatical errors. Comments must be approved. Manual commenting only, no automated software.

Work would be done regularly over the course of one (1) year. Daily journal reports would be required (see below) The winning bidder would be expected to perform ongoing work in order to maintain the freshness of the comments, etc. The budget noted in this project is the maximum allowable for a full year of this service. We will be looking for bidders who can do the work well within that budget and to a standard we can feel full confidence in.

We would expect daily emails of your full Excel-based journaling of every piece of work done, including the actual copy, url posted, time, date, etc. We will audit production to ensure the quality and integrity of the work. Our goal is to give the client full value and to develop a relationship with a contractor for ongoing and increased services.

You must be completely fluent in Canadian English. As an audition please write the following sample pieces of work for our attention:

1) Three (3) reviews of the service department at a car dealership, minimum 150 words per review. Please touch on different mechanical issues and situations.
2) A series of comments for a manufacturer's website indicating the wonderful experience you have had with your specific year, make, model, and colour of vehicle. At least five (5) comments, please. Minimum 25 words per comment.
3) Five entries for a Twitter account at a local dealership.


Putting in details about the engine size, trim level, specific features, specific salespeople, memorable incidents, etc, will be expected. Do _not_ attempt to sound like an expert, but rather to be a regular person with real-life vehicle experiences. For example,

My 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 had an annoying squeak in the back end but was no longer under warranty. I took it to Murray at the service department and he said he thought he knew what to do. He sprayed some WD40, the squeak was gone, and they didn't charge me a penny!

I had a great experience at Glenn Ford Lincoln! My uncle was in town and on the spur of the moment he decided to trade in his old beater for a new Lincoln Navigator. We were treated so well!

My Aveo XE has been going great for years. I give a lot of credit to the guys at Bunsten Chevrolet, because they always take good care of my maintenance.

@malcolmmazda: We just got a new shipment of Mazda 5 minivans. Beautiful! Low rates this weekend for a special promotion.


This project is similar to others we have posted, but is not a duplication or re-posting. Thank you for your bid.
