How to get aproject?WHERE DO YOU START?
So you’ve gotten all excited and want to
jump right to work on a new project. But
how do you go about it?
GO TO “PROJECTS MARKETPLACE” IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DETAILSHere you’ll find quite a list of available jobs from
di�erent clients. Go through the list and look
for a few that catches
your attention. Simply
click on the project
name to open the page
and see the details.
Carefully read through the project details so you can
make an informed and confident decision if you’re up for
the challenge. Take good note of the word count
requirement, topic, budget, and other details
or project requirements that you’ll need
to do. Don’t forget to check if it has any file
attachments-some projects have extensive
guidelines or templates that you’ll need to use.
PLACE A DEALYou are the chosen
one… lol. Seriously
though, once you
get a notification that
you’ve been selected
for the project, you’ll receive a message on
your huddle box (don’t worry, you’ll get a
notification so you won’t miss it) and a
pledge for the project. Simply accept the
pledge, reply if necessary, and get started.
Clock’s ticking, so get moving!
DEAL ACCEPTED!THE WAITING GAMEYou’ll receive a notification anytime
within a week if we have chosen your
deal (But usually, it’s around 24-48
hours). If it’s been longer than
that, it’s safe to assume
that the client has already
made their selection. Feel
free to place deals on
other projects that you
can confidently complete.

Once you’ve made a decision,
simply place a deal on your project
of choice. Your deal amount should
match our project’s budget. Fill in
the necessary fields to make your
deal stand out.
So now what?Winning a project deal seems to be very intimidating at first.
But no worries, when you finish your first few projects with us,
you will get better at understanding our project scopes while
learning the ropes of the web content industry.
The first thing to do is review the Master Scope of our project details. Make sure to check if there are any “Reference Files” attached in the project. Most of the time, our client’s details are vague and might require a little problem solving on your part.
If you have any concerns or issues, just message us through the project’s huddle box.
This article from Yonipp can also help you understand the framework of our project:

Best of all, gather enough 4 or 5-grape ratings from us, and
soon, you’ll be winning bigger and better-paying projects from
other clients.
ALRIGHT, YOU GOTTHE PROJECT!
Here is a step-by-step guide to aid you in your journey with each project
UNDERSTAND THE PROJECT
Start researching about the topic in Google or Youtube. Jot down your key notes and keep a list of good sources.
RESEARCHTHE TOPIC
Using your sources, make an outline of what you can talk about so you can better organize your thoughts.

Most of the time, our clients
like the “Conversational” tone
style of writing. Whether it is
for a blog post, eBook or just
your usual web content.
However, please be reminded
that some project types need
to have formal or serious tone
like company profiles or
product reviews.
WRITE IN A CONVERSATIONAL TONE
You may have the best sources for your topic or you may have the most
creative writing style - but if you do not proofread your work, then you
might still get a revision from us.
Always proofread your work. To make it easier, you can use Grammarly to
help you spot possible content issues. Please be reminded however that
Grammarly is not accurate enough and might actually suggest the wrong
correction(s).
PROOFREAD
We always require our
writers to submit at
least 1,000 word drafts
daily so we can check
your progress. If we
haven’t received
anything in a period of
2 days, we have to
cancel the project deal.
Once you’re finally done, you can upload the
complete file through the huddle box and wait for
the project to be reviewed by our editors. After the
initial approval (Which takes around 3 days), we will
then release your pledge after 7 days to ensure that
there will be no issues in your completed project.

Here is an example of conversational-style content:Finding writing tips online is easy nowadays, but not all guides are as useful. So why do many of these so-called helpful guides lose its hook for aspiring writers? It’s because of the flu�. Ironic, right? Anyone looking for information would like to see what they need right away. If it takes 5 paragraphs of runaround text before getting to the actual meat of the guide, it’s highly likely you’ll lose interest long before you even get to the first tip.
Then a few reminders…
FORMATRecommended font size is 12. Use subheadings in your content to
make it organized and reader friendly. Avoid blocks of text, this is a
no-no. Always use short paragraphs with a few sentences. Use bold or
italics in some elements if applicable. Also feel free to use bullets,
tables, etc. Avoid indentations.
In some cases, whether the project is in-progress or completed,
we might ask for a revision for any of the following reasons:
You are required to respond A-S-A-P for these revisions,
regardless if your pledge has already been released.
COPYSCAPEWe use Copyscape to make sure your content does not have any
plagiarized parts from any online sources. You can also try using free
online plagiarism-checker tools such as http://plagiarisma.net/ to
check your completed project before uploading your submission.
QUESTIONSSometimes, you may encounter an issue with your project where you’ll be needing
clarifications before pressing forward. For this, just ask a question in the huddle box
and we’ll revert to you within approximately 24 hours.
REVISIONS
Poorly-written Content
Plagiarized Content
Non-compliance to Project Guidelines
Incomplete Wordcount
You’ll see the wordcount
requirement in the project
scope itself. Feel free to go
over the wordcount
requirement but keep it to
a minimum. The pledge
amount won’t change if
you provide more.
WORDCOUNT It’s quite normal to see projects in Yonipp that need multiple
writers. If your deal has been accepted in one of these
projects, you will be assigned a slot to work on. Don’t worry,
the details will always be inside our project scope.
