So, you thought that setting up shop on one of the freelance job boards was going to protect you from lowlife scammers? Think again, my writing friends.
Another Writer Wrangler Investigative Report By Li’l Herbert Fuchida
Those wonderful people from the Internet marketing world hire web-based freelance writers to do a lot of work. Many of us couldn’t make ends meet if it wasn’t for the “IM” crowd.
Yeah, we complain. They try to low-ball us. They expect too much and they want it too fast. Etc. We gripe, but we need them just like they need us. And we can’t really get too hacked off about the rates we’re offered, right? After all, it’s just business. They can’t pay top dollar unless the material is producing a profit for them.
That’s the story we tell ourselves about those rates, anyway. We’d like to believe that all of the people we meet out in IM land are “good guys” and that they’d pay us more if they could afford it. Maybe, we hope, they’ll hit it big and the money will follow on the next job.
Not my top pick of bidding sites that’s for sure. Low prices, tons of emails, and lots a junk to wade through. However with over 500,000 service providers, they must be doing something right!
While they are flooded with projects and there is never a lack of work to sort though, it can take all day and if you are very lucky you might find a project that pays half way decent wages. According to their statistics, there are about 300 projects posted everyday, so you are bound to find something that suits you!
If you sign up for their email notifications your inbox will certainly be flooded several times a day, which is sometimes annoying even to those desperately seeking work. It’s even more annoying when you have to sort though 5 emails with 20 or more projects in each one and the pay is $1.00 -$2.00 per article. We aren’t talking 100 words here people.
