I'm a freelance writer interested in selling services on the Deep Web - so consider this market research!
I'm a well-established copywriter in the 'real world', and am wondering if it would be financially sound to stump up the bond to become a seller on SR, selling only my writing services as opposed to physical goods.
-
By the way - this isn't an attempt at pimping my pen, I'm genuinely curious as to whether bringing my skill-set to the fine folk here on the TOR network would be a viable strategy for my own financial goals :-)
-
I would consider it ;D
There are actually lots of ghost writing and similar offers under the Services category already, I believe. It's worth a shot, I'd say go for it. You might not make a ton of money right away, but over time I think it would pay off.
Best of luck,
The Fun Roulette
-
Ah, I see that category now - I'd only looked at 'Writing' before posting this, which has only 10 items listed.
Still, got to save up for my BitCoin Bond before listing as a vendor :-(
Thanks for your input though Fun Roulette, very helpful :-)

I actually am looking for assistance in writing a book. Ive had an amazing past few years i want to chronicle in brief ive been to prison,involved in robberies, losing money, making money, fights, drugs trafficking across europe, working legit work, getting robbed of legit money and other things. I wrote twice a book, first time it got stolen when i was robbed and second time it got stolen again the second time i got robbed. Im writing it for the third time now am in the early stages/pages, really would like some help.
-
Wrathmore, I've sent you a PM. I'm not a ghostwriter by trade specialty though, so if there are any ghostwriters in the room... please stand up!
-
Yes a GOOD writer's services would be of value. Just make sure you don't list your services to cheap on the market, that's the easiest way to seem like an ammature. Also, seeing is believing, so a sample maybe?
-
I actually love the idea based on the fact that I'm going to be a college student that sucks at writing papers!

Excellent - that's an encouraging answer :-)
Oh, and re. the storming in dirt cheap... I learned that lesson several years ago. Not something I'm willing to replicate ;-)
p.s. if you actually need something doing, I have no problem providing a small bespoke sample
-
maybe
-
Thanks fishfaced
When you say maybe... what would you make your judgement on?
Do you mean if the freelancer had a good track record on SR? Or do you mean if you had an illegal request that you couldn't really go to odesk for? And if the latter, would you then not consider hiring through SR for perfectly legal projects?
Just probing :-)

Pinto43 - not my field, but I can already see there are a few listings that cover this under the SR category 'Writing'!

There's a thread up detailing some of the rules involved called Official Policy on Services provided from Person to Person: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=203436
We would definitely be interested eventually when we have enough funds for it, but in the end Silk Road wasn't really designed for jobs and as far as I'm aware there really isn't any service available at the moment where people are free to offer "any" job. Anyone have more information on how https://www.odesk.com work more in detail, ie. do they require ID when submitting profiles etc. or?
-

Dude, you have the shittiest luck I've ever heard in my life. Maybe the third time around you shouldn't take your only copy to places where you're going to get robbed-_-

Thanks for the link, dude. Odesk doesn't require ID by the way (or at least not when I last used it... might have changed since then), but they do ask for a lot of info.

Thank you munchies. And might I add what a wonderful grasp you have on linguistics!

-
Wow, munchies. Since your last comment, you've gone from just having the munchies, to REALLY having the munchies. What's with that bro? ;)
-
maybe
-
Hey still havnt received a PM. Maybe though you should help munchies with his writing first before you help me..
-
I might consider it. I might consider doing it too. I am registered for elance presently and have enough advanced degrees and writing experience I could see it being of use but I am not sure SR is the best place to market that service. *Shrug*
On the other hand I very certainly would hire a Freebaser on SR...
-

Sorry dude. Check now!
-

I hear what you're saying falerin. But think about the types of businesses you have operating on SR... they are hardly likely to get away with hiring somebody to do work for them through Elance ;-) it's an untapped client reserve, providing you don't mind topics of questionable morality - and even then, it would be easy to pick and choose what you were willing to work with and what you weren't, based on your own values and codes rather than the law's.
-

oi na then cheeki i gots ma eye on ya man
-
It's only of questionable morality if one buys the police state hype. If anyone is marketing this here, clearly they don't; so your all good on that account.

Spot on. And that's what I like within this community... not that people are breaking 'the law', but that people are free to decide what's right and what's wrong according to their own personal values, without fear of repercussions from 'the law'
-
Just bumping the thread so there's a more intelligent discussion of sorts going on in the newbie forum... some bitcoin guy's flash-flooding ;)

Yo dude, can you spin something unethical into something ethical?
What I mean, is if I sent you a study I've been working on which is technically unethical (don't worry, nobody was harmed during the making of this psychoanalysis), would you be able to reword the methodology to cloud the blurry ethics so they seemed less questionable, and more valiantly daring?
TBH I might be best PMing you about this with more details. Either way let me know.
-
Seriously depends on the study dude. I'm down with psychology, and I'm down with 'spin'... but I'm not down with certain types of ethical breach. So it all depends on what your definition of 'unethical' is - try me, we'll see. I'm very open minded but I have my own personal guidelines of right and wrong.
