That's absolutely true, and I odn't know how many times you're going to have to say it before people finally get it. These people are offering an inferior product. BMW doesn't compete with Honda.
Nobody here seems to be getting what JH is saying, would someone please try to read through what she has to say.... I think everyone here is mixing, not being able to find clients who'd pay you more than 2cents/word and writers who hail from countries where the Dollar once converted, gives good returns.... I'm sure you don't hear the guys at Ferrari complaining about the people buying cheaper cars and throwing a tantrum about it.... If Clayton Makepeace had cribbed about his competition charging much lower than him, maybe he wouldn't have made it this big today... Most of us don't even realize that we are members of a forum, which gives us a chance to meet the right kind of people, START NETWORKING, use the other sections of the forum too and not only the BST and maybe some of what I have just said might make sense.....Using other sections may not mean senseless posting, reading through would also benefit a lot of people.... And as far as replying to Live2Write's suggestion is concerned, I would have soooooo agreed with you if I thought it would have been viable. This thought crossed my mind a Gazzillion times when I first started competing with writers who would beat my prices ten times over or more....but, its something that can't be put into practice, not here or on any other forum....and that's the truth Regards, Aditya P.S. Sorry about digging a month old post...
If you write to a niche and satisfy client requirements, you deserve to be paid better. JH is right all the way, and there are many successful writers on DP to prove the truth of her words.
