Subject: Artikelanfrage für dotclue.org

Hallo J Greely,

für meine Kunden suche ich hochwertige Artikelplätze mit thematischem Bezug. Ein konkretes Interesse meines Kunden auf Ihrer Seite zu buchen besteht bereits. So bin ich auf Ihre Seite aufmerksam geworden. Ich würde gern bei Ihnen einen thematisch passenden Artikel buchen.

Ich liefere Ihnen gern einen sehr hochwertigen und professionell geschriebenen Text, welcher von meiner hauptberuflichen Redakteurin aufwendig recherchiert und getextet wird. Alternativ können Sie aber auch gern den Text verfassen. Der Text sollte mindestens 2 Jahre online bleiben.

Haben Sie evtl. noch weitere Seiten, auf denen so etwas möglich ist?

Ich danke Ihnen für Ihr Feedback.
