Review Time !!
I asked for a review copy from OP and this is my honest and unbiased review. This was my review copy (Below) so it’s up to me if I want to share my keywords or contents.
2nd September: Upon selection OP approached me via PM. I filled up the form with all the required information, that was attached. It was an impressive form since he asked for keywords and the style that was preferred. I sent a reply that the form was filled up and got an instant answer stating that the work has been processed and the article will be delivered within 24-72Hrs. That was a good go till then.
6th September: More than 72Hrs. right? (I just realized it ) but not an issue with me since I am always patient with delivery as not everyone is born to work for us. Also, note that it wasn't mentioned "Business Days" (No room for error huh). Got the article via email (which was stated in the form) also, got a reply on PM that the delivery has been made. A free article huh great! Haha that the excitement anyone would have. I order for the keyword 'Indian Digital Nomad" . For style I needed an Introduction and a proper conclusion, filling up body was up to him.
So as I went through the article and there were couple of errors with space's and all and I have a habit of adding extra info and editing the errors or replacing the words that I don't like. After doing so for 2 paragraphs. I left it and though ummm "let me just read the who article because this doesn't sound good." At the end of my reading section I was left with the MOST negative vibe of being a digital nomad.
So I saw the way he emphasized that 'customer satisfaction is important to them' So I asked for a revision. I clearly stated out that the article was the most negative thing I have ever read. But this goes without saying right? You write an article to encourage someone and if you cannot write an article to encourage then it does not have to be discouraging. The keyword I choose is not a disease where you stated all the ill-effects of it -_- it is rather a general topic.
The REVISED article (Isn't actually revised much expect that few direct negative sentences have been taken off) The topics did not change after revision so discarding the revision. It has the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is a digital nomad? (Grammar mistake but he won't listen to me)
Why be an Indian digital nomad?
Internet
Disturbances
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total article was of 736 words. The SEO was the only thing I can appreciate. In the internet para he wrote how damaged internet in India is LOL he specifically said "3G doesn't work properly" so before revision I told him that we got FREE 4G in India.
In the disturbances para he definitely wrote about disturbances. Duh!
8th September: Got revision attached with an email which reads about how his service does extensive research. I am proud of him for doing that seriously because you get that with just an ample amount of services. But the second para goes on how my claims of having free 4G in India was false and how his services provides articles on the facts ONLY. So why should I disappoint him? I went on to the citation links and checked out what the articles were about. Also, I was 101% sure that "Digital Nomad" is not a hype in India so he won't find articles like crazy on them.
First link: Was an article of how was the life of a digital nomad in Goa. It had nothing but moreover a rant of how the internet was broken for the author and what not all. So OP included that in my article, it was not a copy paste but you get the idea what I am talking about.
Second link: Duh LOL
Third link: Tried
Fourth link: Tried
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did not ask for any further revisions because no one got time for that. If the writing services guy doesn't understand what you need even after 2nd revision then it's not right for you. And I said the same to OP in my reply to him via Email that : what if there are huge orders? The client can't sit and ask you for revision times.
My experience:
1) Communication: Only good thing
2) Revision: Not satisfied
3) 2nd revision: No one got time for that
4) Article: I don't think I will use it. It will have a negative impact on my audience. I would rather ask you-" Will you publish this article on your site?"
5) Delivery TAT: Good Standing
Overall experience: Bad, Op had the option to improvise when I gave him the option During revision by saying that: " I would give you the leverage to write ANY article on travel or nomad. So you can choose any topic in that niche and send me an article."
My rating for this services is 1.5 out of 5
because the article is of NO use to me what so over. Since the entire service is about writing articles just 1 star for good communication and the willingness to provide revisions. This would be my first 1 star rating , sigh. There is no doubt that OP must be good in some topics but I don't feel like a native writer wrote the article I was presented with. I didn't run it through plagiarism but LOL enough of this dismay!
Thanx for the review copy
@Writing Package and all the best for your business
Cheers!
