I recently put out an article offering my services at a very discount rate of $0.01/word for basic SEO articles for bulk work only. Let's not get into the pros and cons of offering such rates, we've all had the debate before. Someone got in touch via IM to say that they needed a 24 maximum turnaround on every article for this price since it was so high (and they said high in capital letters, and throughout the conversation kept referring to this price as high). Apparently the 'normal' price for native English writers on DigitalPoint is just over $0.007 per word. (Again let's not get into discussing rates) I'm in sheer disbelief that content buyers actually think this price is ridiculusly high? And, of course, the rudeness of the individual. Rant over.
Ginger, All kinds of people out there. Comfort yourself with the knowledge you have better breeding, and so will your children Btw, your sig is a point of concern, if you don't mind me saying so ps: Have an apple. It'll calm you down
I got an e-mail last week quoting such rates for my service. I thanked him for his interest. Then I told him to kiss my ass. Maybe I need an apple.
"Then I told him to kiss my ass. " Risky thing to do. No telling what kind of people you're dealing with. He might've taken you seriously "Maybe I need an apple. " Feeling traumatized now?
Thats the type of buyer I tell to come back when they actually have a budget. Not much more to say other then: Pay peanuts, get monkeys
0.01 is pretty cheap...i once hired a guy for 0.10 ...dont blame me..i was a newbie......a lazy one....
Well said. It would help if you could share the user name of this guys so we could all avoid it... but thatmight get you in trouble. How about a PM?
