Patrick ryan's samples are good.
Sarah's a little too smart, but I could work with her.

Let's give them both an opportunity to write an article. I will work on getting instructions to you guys by today or tomorrow

Amy Van Deusen Amy  can you update with any new people please
Amy Van Deusen
Melissa Zelig, Medstar
Amy Van Deusen Amy  yes on Megan. Iffy on Tiffani. She seems legit but her writing has a ton of run on sentences. So Amy, you decide on Tiffani, whether or not she makes the cut. 
Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar
Melissa Zelig, Medstar Melissa ,
I found a guy who is delivering the articles on time and they are very good. 
I have sent you a few from him already - 1 more just now. 
So I only have 5 more left for you out of that list of 10 you sent me a few days ago. 
If you have any more you need, please let me know via email or here and I will add them to my list. 
Thanks. 
Amy Van Deusen
Melissa Zelig, Medstar Melissa whitney.zelig@gmail.com, Medstar whitney.zelig@gmail.com  I messaged everyone that you were interested in and I'll keep you posted if I hear back. I'll hold off on Tiffani for now

This was submitted by Sarah H. today. She got it back to us in about a day. Melissa Zelig, Medstar Melissa whitney.zelig@gmail.com, Medstar whitney.zelig@gmail.com Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar Hector

Thank you Amy Van Deusen Amy  
I will take a look at them and let you know how they are. 
Will also add some Long tail keywords, LSI and meta description if is not already added. 
Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar
Off the bat I would say that Melissa will probably not like the Patrick Ryan article. I have already found grammatical errors on the meta descriptions. 
I will have to do some edits on the article as well since he has a heading 
<h2>An Explanation of Coolsculpting’s Cryolipolysis in Plain English</h2>
Our readers would be offended! lol. 
Among other wording.

Amy Van Deusen Amy Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar Hector  Thanks for your help you guys. I will look over these now.
Melissa Zelig, Medstar
Amy Van Deusen Amy  yes to sarah K. Maybe we can set up a training session this week for the prospective writers. I guess we only have one so far though
Melissa Zelig, Medstar
So do we compensate these writers via upwork? Amy, is this something you have access of doing?

Let's respond to Sarah that we like her work and want to work with her further. 

Hectors right about Patrick. Can you respond thanking him, and paying him, and then telling him, very nicely, that we dont like his writing...however you say no in the most considerate way possible please.

I have worked a few on Patrick's article already so my Revised version is better. I can finish it for you but wanted to make sure you concurred with my assessment of him. 

Please let me know if you want to use it so I can provide it to you. 
Melissa Zelig, Medstar
Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar Hector   If its usuable than yeah send it to me. I definitely concur on your assessment of P.

whitney.zelig@gmail.com, Medstar whitney.zelig@gmail.com Kellie Zelig, Graphic Designer at Medstar Kellie   Dijah's article was pretty good
Kellie Zelig, Graphic Designer at Medstar
Melissa Zelig, Medstar Melissa  She's very talented!!!
Amy Van Deusen
Yes Melissa Zelig, Medstar Melissa Whitney showed me. We paid them for these first articles through Upwork. Maybe whitney.zelig@gmail.com, Medstar whitney.zelig@gmail.com can reach out to Sarah today to speak with her about working with her further? Here is another article we received from Sa. Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar Hector  Still waiting on one more article from Francesca.

Melissa Zelig, Medstar
Amy Van Deusen Amy whitney.zelig@gmail.com, Medstar whitney.zelig@gmail.com Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar Hector  Thanks for all your help. Read Sa article. Author writes okay, but a lot of info wrong and I get the feeling it is from an article farm. Do we know sa's background. We use to work with a content company, but results were variable because we kept getting different authors. What are your guys' thoughts?
Amy Van Deusen
whitney.zelig@gmail.com, Medstar whitney.zelig@gmail.com Melissa Zelig, Medstar Melissa Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar Hector I think Sarah is good as well. Do you want to reach out to her Whitney? Just a reminder (I mentioned this to Whitney already) - she said she charges $0.10 per word for blog content and $0.12 per word for landing page copy. I just messaged her and told her we are interested in working with her and will message her later with further details.

Francesca also submitted her article:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G7p9sWMIe77-wZ1wEfp7PZIq9E5TMOwRgnJWqJEqAgA/edit

Let me know what the next steps are or if you need help with anything else in regards to this. Thanks all!!
Amy Van Deusen
whitney.zelig@gmail.com, Medstar whitney.zelig@gmail.com Melissa Zelig, Medstar Melissa  Just an update!
Sarah responded to your message on Upwork Whitney by saying:

"Hi Chris, my rates are higher because I'm a veteran copywriter and a turnkey solution so you wouldn't have to make edits.

If you want to give me a call my number is 818-536-3120"
whitney.zelig@gmail.com, Medstar
Melissa Zelig, Medstar Melissa  call her 
whitney.zelig@gmail.com, Medstar
Follow up Melissa Zelig, Medstar Melissa  we need some articles to give to the writers again

So is sarah K the only writer we got out of this group?

I am hesitant to pay sara 50 an article because I will still have to edit her articles and I dont like paying her more than I pay kamie who has been with us for a while and will be stepping up in duties. But maybe we can have her do a few articles. I don't know. What do you think?

I am working on this months post schedule and will get back to you.

Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar Hector I'd like to hire Uzair and EGLTD to write for us. But I don't want to keep mediating through you. Can you ask them if we can move off of whatever hiring website your using and start paying them ourselves? 
I'd like to start communicating with them via email.
Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar
Good morning Melissa Zelig, Medstar Melissa  
I found Uzair and EG LTD on Freelancer.com
I have Uzair's personal Gmail and we can communicate with him through there. 
EG LTD did not want to provide or contact me directly since that violates the TOS on Freelancer. 
I will reach out to him again to see if he agrees to work with us directly. 
I am paying them $35 an article now. 
I can also provide you with my Freelancer.com personal account info so you can login and speak with them directly if you like. 
Melissa Zelig, Medstar
Okay cool. I wonder if EG LTD is an article farm. Reach out again and if he still says no, then I will log onto freelancer. Maybe we should get a medstar account for freelancer. Thoughts?
Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar
Melissa, he is.
I sent him another message and he never bothered to respond. I could create a Medstar account on Freelancer... Let me see what I need to set it up.. 
I will let you know. 
Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar
Hector Mota completed this to-do.
