Whats the difference for payment of articles?

    Hi,

    How come people can come into the content section and sell their article packs for $1-$4 and that is considered a great price, but when someone writes a thread for hiring article writers and wants to pay the same amount to their writers, they get criticized?

    When I have posted articles for sale on here to get at least $5-$6 worth for each article, then no one wants to buy them.

    The sad part is I am a good writer, but do not understand why people do not want to buy articles at this price but will pay cheaper. I put a lot of hard work into my articles, with quality, keywords and placement, and I get traffic to my articles.

    I just want to know why there is difference between paying a writer lower than what DP users claim is a good price and being a writer that sells articles for cheaper.

    Regarding this statement: sell their article packs for $1-$4

    I mean they sell their articles packs for one amount, but when you figure it up, each article within the packs will be within this price range.

    I think this is due to difference between the number of sellers and buyers of the articles. Here sellers are more and buyers are less.

    The criticism is usually done by writers who manage to get a respectable rate at DP (or even higher rates than the DP average). I guess it's a nice pass-time plus is an excellent chance for catharsis ;) . Also, it helps the writers re-emphasize the fact that the DP rates should at least be maintained, if not increased. The people looking to hire writers for slave wages should move over to other sites.

    At DP forum > BST , $1 - $2 per 100 words is the standard. So, when you offer a pre-written article for those rates the client may as well get a fresh one written around their specific guidelines and pay those rates.


    I don't understand what you are saying here !! Maybe that's just bcoz I slept only 4 hours in the last 24 hours LOL.

    There is a difference between pre-written content and content written for customer specification.
