Write me a 50 page eBook for $100!
I think that some people have a severely unrealistic idea of what quality content costs. I was filtering through some craigslist postings looking for writing jobs to post in the writing forums and I stumbled upon an ad, in the USA no less, asking for a writer to spit out 50 page eBook with single spacing for $100. I would shovel manure for free before I’d write some stranger a 50 page eBook for less than $500, and in normal circumstances I wouldn’t even touch that, my normal rate is $30 per page. I would have to be hurting bad to accept an eBook writing job for $10 per page.
Why do writers offer to run their own work through copyscape?
Something I’ve never been able to figure out, maybe someone else out there knows:
Why would a writer run their own article through copyscape to be sure that it’s original?
This makes absolutely no sense. . . unless, of course, they can’t write.
Trying to be helpful. . . but they won’t have it
I very recently posted a listing in my local craigslist giving a link to a location where there are free job postings for writers. This was a completely free resource – and it would not only be beneficial to the freelance writer looking for solid writing work, it would also benefit the stay at home mom or dad, grandma or grandpa and give them a place to make a few extra bucks for sharing their writing talent.
