I agree with the low rates. Every now and then you can find a person willing to pay more on the content buying and selling forums. I find the forums best for selling articles that I have already written that somehow didn't sell to a client and don't fit on my blog.
But how is it possible to sell here on forums? I'm new to this and your help would be very useful for me just because i'm a writer myself and have several articles for sale.
You need to get established first (3 likes) then you can post your services (articles) on certain forums on here. In the meantime check out Content Creation/Buy,Sell & Trade etc.
Thanks for your help. How do I get likes? Also, as a writer, can I get potentially long term clients here in DP forums as I do from freelancing sites? What do you think?
Yes you can get long term clients on here. I have used the same 2 article writers for the last 2 years. I found both of them here on DP. I don't give them a lot of work, but they each get about $1,000 U.S. each from me a year. Get enough clients and it all adds up. As far as how to get likes, there are threads on this subject....check them out.
