I am looking for someone who can write about free Android apps. It involves trying out app, writing about it, and including some screenshots of the app in the article (screenshots should be original taken from own phone). Typical article length would be 500 words. It is a long term job and I can take unlimited number of articles. I pay $2.5 per article. I can pay via Paypal and Skrill (Moneybookers). If you are based out of India, I can directly transfer to your bank a/c in India, so that there are no Paypal charges. If this is something that interests you, send me a sample article on any Android app. Keep it original and simple.
That rate is dirt cheap, even if there was no research involved; but you're asking people to download, install, use, and take screenshots of an application. All of that, plus a 500 word article, for a mere $2.50? Come on, if you aren't earning enough online to pay your content writers even a penny per word, maybe you should find a day job. You should know anyone who accepts this job isn't going to spend more than two minutes working with that app, and the review isn't going to be accurate. Writers -- don't support these slave labor rates, there are much better writing opportunities available.
Dear Swordude - Thanks for your opinion; though, I don't remember asking for it. Let others decide for themselves whether rates are low or high; I am sure they don't need anyone to make this distinction for them. The good thing about free market is that everyone is free to make a choice for themselves and no one can force other to do or not do a job.
