Hi, I am short on writers and need a few to start ASAP. I will expect quality work from you and writing with properly placed keywords is important. -Must be able to communicate throughout the day via chat on gmail or skype -Must be reliable- if you know you cannot complete work I need to know ahead of time instead of too late or I will not pay for any late work turned in -Be able to write a minimum of 3 articles a day, but prefer more -Must be able to write according to guidelines, which may be different as I have multiple clients - #1 thing- Must be English speaking native of US Pay is per article, not per number of words so do not ask me $2.00/original article $1.00/rewrite Pay is by paypal only, on biweekly basis Most articles are 500 words PM me with a sample and not some list of samples. If you have a profile where you have written work, then I will take that. If you are here to complain about prices, then avoid posting on this post. Those that cannot resist will be ignored and are wasting everyone's time.
If you are willing to pay a bit more, then I could help you with this. However, $2 is a very low price for an article that requires at least two hours of work.
You want people to be available at the drop of a hat throughout the day and write for $0.004 per word? Really? That's terrible. Writing may look easy on the outside but if it really were that easy or simple you'd be able to do it yourself. Why not offer a more reasonable rate?
You state the problem is that you are short of writers and also state the price you pay. The reason you are short of writers is the rate you pay. You say you will ignore people who are trying to help you get writers... so I doubt you will resolve your problem unless you address the issue of low pay.
Well then you fix the issue of my all by bills being past due and buy my unborn child things she will need when she is born because I have not been able to buy her anything. I was a day away from being evicted last month, got rent paid late this month, a day away from getting electric cut off, and still have not paid my water bill because i paid the cable bill just so I can work online, and now my phone is in jeopardy of being cut off. If you can fix all these problems for me, then I will be glad to pay writers more. Till then, I have life issues that need taken care of first and more income which I can obtain by getting more writers. If people do not want to work for less, then like I stated, ignore this post and quit making "suggestions" to pay more. I understand the pay is not great but there are writers who can take these jobs because I have had them in the past. Apparently DP is not the place because all these people do is BITCHHHHHHH
Writers are facing these issues as well. Perhaps instead of outsourcing the work at such a low rate you can do the writing yourself and keep the money, which will help you pay your bills. If you need help with things it might be better to simply ask for a little bit of help in good faith. I know that I would have been far more likely to respond and say "I'll take a couple of articles off your hands just to help you out" if the issue had been presented that way. I bet there are a lot of people here who would say "I have time for at least one article to help someone out who is desperate." But by presenting yourself as an employer who pays such a terrible wage (by the way $0.01 per word is not a good wage either but that seems to be the going rate around these parts) you've set yourself up for criticism.
Well I am trying to establish a regular routine of writers and work instead of random help sessions. I do a lot of writing myself which is why I get frustrated by the lack of others' work. I just do not have enough time in the day to do enough writing on my own to make the income I need. It takes more than my own work and income to pay the bills.
This makes no sense in so many ways it is not even funny. Let us have a look at your response in detail: Okay, so you want a team of writers at your disposal, yet you do not have a real budget to hire them(You can not expect to drive a Porsche if you can't even afford a Ford Focus). May I inquire how much you get paid for those writing jobs you do? I think we can be fairly certain that it is more then $2.00/original article, yet you expect others to work with your kind of dedication, for less pay? I am not trying to bash, or be unfriendly, but to state it mildly, this is not very realistic. You cannot expect people to write with your kind of dedication, because you write for yourself, which makes your motivation ten times stronger then any writer you can hire, especially when you under pay them. This should be your first clue that there is something wrong with your business plan. Here is your second clue. Again I am not trying to be unfriendly, but I seriously think that you need to rethink your strategies on making a living. I do not know you, and do not know what kind of income you need to make a decent living, but I do know that if you cannot at least make the necessary income to live on your own, and therefore are depending on others, you are putting yourself in a very vulnerable spot, and on a road that leads to failure, or worse. You already stated, you have been close to eviction, have outstanding bills, etc.. Besides the fact that it should be your wakeup call to rethink what you are doing, how do you think any writers you may hire would feel knowing that you could fall financially, just like that? Yours is a low paying and very unreliable opportunity I doubt many will even consider taking, and those that will, are certainly not able to live up to the standards you demand. Remember, in order to drive that Porsche, you need Porsche money, you can't have it for the cost of a Ford Focus. Rethink what you are doing, while you still have time to do so.
