2 sad examples on DP of cheap rates

Even rewritten jobs are not cheaper one. I seen rewriter rates from $0.005 to $0.007 on Dp some offer less but it is on bulk order.

 

Yeah it is possible to generate articles from computer program or Automatic Script which generate articles for keywords.

 

I am also just getting started with article writing/content creation. I am not particularly discouraged when I see buyers making serious offers of $30 for 75 500-word articles. It does not bother me at all when I see the same 15 or 20 people respond to lowball offers with their choppy cut-and-paste proposals.

If you follow them around a bit, you will find out that these buyers are either:

-inexperienced web marketers, most of whom (for one reason or another) believe they can slap anything up on a page, get the page indexed in the big G within the hour, rank #1 for 27 different keywords, instantly drive 15,423 uniques to the page and become internet billionaires by sunrise.

-resellers that operate paid article directories, promising unique content. Since many of these sites are subscription-based, they want lots of items for their subscribers to have to wade through; if someone pays $xx per month with the belief that they will have access to thousands of unindexed articles, then the site is fulfilling its promise.

-marketers of other products, some of whom will give away things like PLR packs as freebies; an added incentive for a potential customer to buy whatever they are selling. Usually, these customers are so busy trying to figure out why this thing they bought is not turning their PC into an ATM machine that they don't pay much attention to anything else.

or, they may just be evildoers.



There will always be writers willing to work for cheap. They can do this because:

-the cost of living varies by location, obviously.

-they know of places where they can scrape for unique content.

-they know what their buyers will do with the content, and whether or not they can get away with selling questionable material.

-they write x number of articles on a variety of topics (what they know people will be looking to buy), then they bid on every project under the sun. They can offer up cheap rates because they are going to sell the same articles multiple times. They will do this quickly, so by the time the buyers figure it out, the shop has been relocated.

Nope, those things do not bother me. As a writer, I am interested in making long term arrangements with people who will pay for good content, because they know how to use it properly to get a return on their investments.

I want my work to help make my client base successful; if they are making money, I know some of it is going to come back to me, because "if it ain't broke, then don't fix it." You may see a 10:1 ratio out there, but from a webmaster's perspective, you really need to ask yourself how many of those 10 would you really want doing work for you.

 

One thing is sure, a professional writer will never work at these rates.

 

You get what you pay for !
