Question
I subscribed on a internet site whereby an individual or organization would bid on a project and then one would decide to take the bid if it fits him/her.

I am creative writing student and I am not conversant on how to go about in technical writing. What are the things I need to keep in mind in this area of writing and how does one ensure that he/she has included keyword phrases in the article?

I do not know if you are conversant also with bidding. How does one know when not overcharge or undercharge?

Answer
Dear Benny,

Thank you for writing AllExperts.com. Your questions somewhat baffle me. You see, you mention that you are a creative writer student. Honestly, I do not see a creative writing skill. Perhaps, though, your natural tongue is not English. I am conversant with the bidding process on websites, such as you describe. In order to know whether you charge accurately:

1. Do you know the language (English, for example)?
2. Do you know how to write well?
3. Do you know the difference between creative and technical writing?
4. What experience do you have?
5. How many years experience do you have?
6. What education do you have in writing?
7. Key words and phrases do not compensate for poor writing skills.

I wish you the best.

Sincerely, Kaylyn
