Hello, I need a person, who could write me 4 articles about lawn mowers. Those should be around 500 words each and I would pay 2.5$ for each. So PM me for a test article, if it will be good I will give you another 3 to write.
Hi, Don't you think that $2.50 for a 500 word article is way too low? You should pay a minimum rate of $5. Though new on DP, i have been working as a freelancer for the past 4 years and i have seen people paying a better rate. I will be happy to accept this work if you pay a minimum price of $5 per 500 words. Please don't think that i am trying to spam your thread, i was only trying to explain you.
Welcome to the cheap bounty hunters on DP SobyCreations As you could have already found out that there are leechers on this (once)great forum, they try to extort writers with their cheap deals. No matter what you do, always try to keep in mind to take the job of members who have atleast 150+ posts and 5+ iTraders. And Soby, $5 for 500 words would never get you an article on DP, thats for sure. Most of the article writers(reputed, of course) charge $4/500 words. Yes, sometimes we need to go low to give quality. But, thats a fair proposition.
Not if you're a quality writer. I usually charge $25 for 500 words and have a growing list of clients. So don't be discouraged, Soby. Top-quality work means more money. Let's stop dragging the thread off-topic though. I'm sure the OP would like some responses from interested writers.
Right now for a 500 word article my rate is $10 and that is considered low in many circles. This is why I have not taken much work on DP lately. Just way too many low paying jobs.
That's true, I certainly concur... Some writers charge depeng on niche while some charge based on Turn around time. As for Soby, it depends on your negotiating power...u need to get iTrader.. so u can start with 3.5$/500 but as time goes, you can increase to $5/500 words or even $10/500 words depending on client. I do not take cheap jobs
Does it mean that my experience doesn't matter here on DigitalPoint? Will people choose me on the basis of my iTrader rating?
