⚠️ If you have seen this before posting your Encyclopedia job, you are in good place. Read to the very end. Here is your starter pack before posting your Encyclopedia job (if you haven't settled on a choice yet): 1️⃣ Don’t share information about the subject of your project in the job posting (not even the slightest details). 2️⃣ If your Upwork name or organization is revealing, which means it makes it possible to guess the subject of your article, then change your name and organization first OR do your interviews from a dummy account. 3️⃣ If it is possible to find out the subject of the article from past jobs postings or reviews you had (not necessarily the Encyclopedia job), then you definitely need to post the job and do the interviews from a dummy account. Some clients may be tempted to mention details about their company or website. It may also be the case with a freelancer’s review to you that may be revealing. 4️⃣ Don’t discuss the subject of your article unless with a freelancer you are sure you are going to work with. If I'm, however, your freelancer of choice, you may ignore the above and message me directly to discuss details. That is your first step towards a successful project. The next thing is doing the job the right way. No old-school tricks or gimmicks. Hey, you want your page to last in the long run, not deleted after a short amount of time. It is a well-known fact that this profession has long been about delivering short-term. Most people work on their projects with the mindset that this is a to-be-finished job and I'd say pleasing the client is different from thinking strategically for the long term. You should also expect that your freelancer's future actions affect your already-finished project. Few only will put their clients' interest in mind. If you want honest feedback about your subject eligibility for inclusion and your chances of a successful Encyclopedia page placement, someone who takes responsibility for your project success long-term, someone you will build a professional relationship with, reach out to me. I think I can help. I hate to say this, but almost everyone on the site is here for quick money and short-term results. I'd go further and say they (with a few exceptions) don't know much more than you do and their experience is only the time they have done this professionally. They don't engage with other editors or participate in community discussions. I have literally seen brand-new editors create profiles taking their best shot at this profession when in reality, they have barely or never done this voluntarily. So before you hire someone, be wary because they may be very well selling you nothing. Don't be fooled by the number of jobs. Don't be fooled by the hourly rate. Choose wisely.
