The more errors in your ad copy, the fewer responses you will receive. Your ad copy should be flawless, but, at the same time, the level of writing should be representative of the level of writing that the client will actually receive.

Hi writers beware,
Thank you for the response. Actually i didnt published any ads, i just replied to the employer ads with my samples and experience.Please suggest me whether i have to publish ads?
The mail id's i replied are like gigs-sgfch-1119794834@craigslist.org. Is this the reason i am not receiving any response? because no mail ids are available in the ad other than id like this. I am writing for living please help me to get the resources. Waiting for your reply.

Ah, I thought you were posting ads yourself. Do you mean that you are responding to ads in which a person is looking to hire an essay writer?

The same rule applies. The more errors in your sales pitch and initial communications, the fewer jobs you will get. Your written communications should be flawless, but, at the same time, the level of writing in your communications should be representative of the final product that the client will actually receive from you.
I am an exceptional writer in the English language, but I couldn't write in Polish or Chinese to save my life. I certainly wouldn't take people's money under false pretenses while trying, either. The moral? Always be honest and up-front about your qualifications. If you're not getting hired, that's a sign that you are simply not yet ready to write, professionally, for American consumers. Write for customers in your native language, while honing your English skills in your spare time.

Please verify this attachment and forward your suggestion to rectify my mistakes. My another doubt is risk of scam, due to my continues proposal is there any chance for my mails to be in scam list.

Rekha, I have read your samples and, unfortunately, I do not bring good news. I suspect that the reason you are not winning any American clients is because your writing skills in the English language are very flawed. That's the honest truth.
I advise you to read the following quote and put my suggestion into action.
WritersBeware: I am an exceptional writer in the English language, but I couldn't write in Polish or Chinese to save my life.

Hmm! that's a good idea. Also try to do some article marketing. As I have mentioned in one of my other post if you post article in ezinearticles you may get some good targeted visitors. Yahoo answer is another good way.
Thanks
Dave

Remember, even on Craigs List, when someone requests a service you solicite and you commit to that service, you are obligated to complete the job. If you are not able to, then advise so another option can be pursued.
I was "teased," after paying 50% in advance, until the 23rd hour...a buyers faith weakens very quickly in these cirumstances. As this forum proves, bad news travels faster than good.

Sparks, could you tell me which service of craigslist did you use? I'm thinking of hiring one, but I don't want to have a bad experience like you did.
Thanks!

1. That's against the rules of this forum.
2. I suggest that you read this thread.
