    While I congratulate you on your freelance writing success, your point of view to the world is plain wrong. There are quality clients and crappy ones. What if crappy ones raised the bar to become quality clients? This usually happens with bad writers turning into good writer. It's a global move toward quality and a better life and it'll result in better and more opportunities for you than competition.

    Although people on this forum have worked hard to try to change the nature of people looking for work, the prices haven't changed. You get a few more people defending their prices - 'I'm not normally a cheap skate but on this occasion...', but the prices stay the same. Once in a blue moon I bother to look for work on here - and you really do have to search to even find something that pays pretty poorly. There are good jobs to get in DP, and I found two long term clients in the last two months, but I never expect! For instance,just seen today, someone want ten 200 - 350 blog posts a day, all with pictures to be sourced by the writer. The way ten every day, all month, and the monthly pay is $350!!!!! What a joke! I'd do 1 a day for that if they were lucky. Ridiculous.

    LMAO - I saw that one, too.

    I was tempted to reply, "Well, are you normally a F'kwit?"

    Eh. I refrained.

    i think it's fine but one thing i hate about cc is you can't use any guranteed trick there..as it's a marketplace and another thing that i have not seen any book/guide written specially on cc..
