Very moot point - I have my own opinions and will post as and when (rather than drone); overall however, would like to ask your guys' opinions on this matter.

Also, tip, I hate when people send me samples of 200-400 words. I want to see that you can write thorough articles about specific topics.

I hope this was to any help, it comes from someone who have hired more than 10 content writers for different purposes.
