    Hi I'm from the UK. I have a new article site and need content added all the time I will pay $4 per article. Articles must be 400 words or more.

    You will need to register on the site and become an author. Articles can be about anything, but has to give quality to the reader. So please don't write articles that have no meaning.

    Payments are made on the 15th of every month via paypal. If you want to get started I will PM you the link where you can register and start making money and you will get paid on the 15th coming.

    100% Unique, I want writers to write of the own back and not use software etc. Authors that give good quality articles will be rewarded from time to time.

    With your zero itrader rating, I would be hestitant to take this job
    on all my new clients I require payment for two articles after completion, then a payment schedule can be worked out.

    A new writer takes a terrible risk with a new client writing so many articles for them on credit. What happens if you dont pay after one month? The writer is up the creek without a paddle

    as a new poster to the board with no reputation to back you up, you would need to establish a quicker payment method for new writers to establish trust in payment,

    you may however, find writers naive or desperate enough to take you up on the offer. The chances are though, that their writing skills will not be suitable to your needs.

    This is the exact reason I decided not to contact him. I would not risk it to wait until the 15th of every month just to find out if he is reputable. :)

    I concur. The user name 'reputable' is kind of questionable as well. :rolleyes: Watch out people.

    A very similar thread to this
    I wish I could dig it up and I can in my recent posts, if I want to. I commented similarly to a posting like this

    the Job poster replied. well I would not hire you anyways since you have zero itrader also

    I replied, the writer is the one taking the risk. A person hiring, is only investing a few minutes giving topics and word counts. If the writer submits a sloppy incomprehensible article, with bad English etc, the "buyer" can refuse the article. The "buyer" is out only a few minutes of his time, even if he ordered 10 articles, he can simply say, no these are not acceptable,

    The writer takes all the risk on this board

    Anyways
    The guy said that and a bunch of writers did agree to write for him, even with my warning

    The post is buried weeks and weeks ago so you will never see what happened
    But I saw what happened since I got an email with a guy responding to the thread

    The guy "hired" about 5 writers from that thread
    (the guy with no itrader)

    They all STUPIDLY, apparently agreed to write TONS of articles for him on credit.
    Why?
    Because he SAID he was paying 1.5c per word (warning flag )

    Anyways
    The guy ending up owing 5 different guys 400 dollars EACH
    total of 2000 dollars
    Never paid anyone a dime

    Lesson Learned Fellas?

    Do not work for new clients and type 50,100,150,200 dollars worth of articles ON CREDIT, WITHOUT KNOWING IF HE WILL EVER PAY

    Never do that
    Protect yourself

    Why have you posted that in my thread thats nothing to do with me and you havent even spoke to me.

    I will still need writers and I understand the risk involved for you guys please check my itrader a few days after the 15th when my current writers get paid and have time to leave feedback.

    I am saying if you are new with no itrader
    you cannot expect people to realistically wait a month to be paid

    The reason I wrote this , IS TO WARN ARTICLE WRITERS TO BEWARE of writing tons of articles and letting a "buyer" run up a HUGE bill, and then wait for the bill to be paid, especially if the guy is zero itrader. Some guys on here are new, or they are too trusting, or they need money so they jump at any offer.

    Also the other thread I was talking about, the other guy ALSO HAD ZERO ITRADER, and i said what I said here, and he also got very indignant, and mad and said he was honest blah blah blah, and then he hired five gullible writers and proceeded to not pay them ONE PENNY, after owing them EACH, 400 dollars

    THAT is why it is so risky to run up big bills with new clients..


    ok you say wait for your itrader feedbacks?

    why do you expect your writers to wait a month to get paid? if you cannot pay for the articles do not hire writers
    we need to eat too

    an employer (all the ones I work for) have money, they have no problem paying for the first article or first two, to establish trust in payment

    the guys saying wait one month? BIG RED FLAG

    There has been an increase in threads like this where there is some question about a person's ability to pay for the content that they are ordering. It's getting tiresome because if you can't pay for quality, don't ask for it. As a whole, we have to stop this problem before it gets any bigger. To be honest if you are an English speaker that can put a basic sentence together, you are worth $1/100 words.

    you are getting two issues confused

    The issue here is paying the writers, or expecting them to write articles daily, and run up a huge balance and wait for a MONTH to get paid for the first time, , huge red flag, very risky for the writers

    your comment is more related to buyers complaining of low quality content or bad English ability, yet only wanting to pay 2-2.50 per 500 word articles

    The ones I worry about are the scammers who have no intention of paying
    they are perfectly willing to OFFER to pay 1.5. to 2c per word..........(they wont pay anyways so why worry about the rate offered)

    But
    The red flag is these guys want
    1. multiple articles per day
    2. they have zero itrader
    3. they want you to wait a month to be paid

    Those are the ones I would avoid like the plague

    red flags everywhere

    Do not be under the impression that there are not a LOT of trolls on the board looking to scam us poor writers for our hard work and not pay us.
    Protect yourself at all times and look for the red flags

    No, all of these issues are related. If a person can't pay for what they are requesting and do this knowingly, they are wrong and they are a scammer. And they usually use a low price/huge order to entice people. That is a huge risk for all writers but especially for those just starting out and looking for experience. A new writer is led to believe that these are the only jobs that they can take and that is not the case. That's why I said that an English speaker is worth at least $1/100 words. We have to keep people that are looking to take advantage off of these forums.

    This. It's laughable that the OP thinks anyone would wait 20+ days to receive payment from a new member. I wouldn't even accept these terms from a reputable member. If you think calling yourself Reputable changes that you have a lot to learn kid.
