Writer applications, email, and QG’s health

I currently have a backlog of writer applications.  If you have applied and are waiting for a test assignment, I apologize for the wait.  We’ve had some high priority projects come in within the last two weeks, and it’s been all I can do to get everything out in time.  I will be getting to you as soon as I can.

For everyone’s reference, including existing writers, I’ve been having some trouble with migraines. I’ll be leaving the office early today for a doctor’s appointment, so any assignments that don’t get out this afternoon will likely have to wait until tomorrow morning. If you have an urgent question for me, particularly regarding the design articles, use URGENT QUESTION as your subject line when emailing me, and I will try to get back to you by this evening.

Free Keyword Training: See It in Action

I can talk to you about keywords all week long, but I know a lot of you are still having trouble understanding how keywords work. (I know because of the assignments that still come back with incorrect keyword phrases in the headers.)  So I’m going to let you see for yourself:

This is a free keyword research tool for Google AdWords.  It’s not the end-all-be-all of keyword phrases, but it can give you a really good idea of what works as a keyword and what does not.  If you ever want to check out what works as a keyword phrase and what does not, type it into this keyword tool.

Here’s a an example title to work with: Toddlers to Teens: Best Pennsylvania Vacation Spots for Kids

Free Blogger Training: Community Building

My boss forwarded me a helpful link for bloggers about community building.  The idea was to share it with those of you who will be blogging for me, but I thought it might serve as some “free training” for the rest of you who have blogs of your own.

25 Ways to Build Your Community

I’ll be trying to occasionally add more of these “free training” links to help everyone on the team grow as writers. It helps you; it helps me. We all win!

Did you notice the new writer panel FAQ?

There’s a link up in the header, but it’s here, too:

http://qualitygal.com/writer-panel-faq/

I’ll be adding to it, so feel free to comment here to add a question you would like to have answered.

Also, there are a few dozen unclaimed camping assignments waiting to be claimed inside the panel, so go grab them! If you are having login problems, you can request articles via email – old skool style.

The panel programmer should be back on the job tomorrow, and his top priority is a “send password to my email address” function, because I have a feeling this may be the login problem. If not, I’ve also asked him for the ability to delete writer accounts, so we can delete faulty accounts and start over if need be.

About the Writer Panel

For those of you testing the writer panel, and those of you who will be over the next few days…

You can claim available assignments by clicking on the title and saving them.  You can curently claim two at a time.

You can only submit invoices after your articles have been reviewed and graded by an editor.  When you submit your invoice online, you do not have to email it to me.

Partial headers are still required.  The title is already present, and reference numbers aren’t being assigned on here, but I will need you to lead with your keyword phrase(s) and description until I can get those fields added.
