0.15cents Article...Is This A Joke?

Well Alicia, I am really shocked to read this. Because I just started writing articles. Need more info. And that is why i am here reading and responding to your discussion. hehehee.... its really hart hitting on the face. I know truth is bitter. I am fully accepting your view. By the way, need to get more info on how i can do the writing with legit, genuine, reasonable and respecting our skill sites. I know this is not the place. So, pls inform where can i get some more info from you. I know visit your profile in search of info.

same here, i would rather find a real job as a writer and not just to waste my time posting articles which you can just earn for about .15 cents. it is very unpractical.

What websites pay you for writing articles I'm interested now? I too noticed the offer of a measly few cents to write an add or article and hoped everyone would know that this work is worth a lot more than that!

I think this is a real joke if you write a few hundreds words article just for 0.15 cent. I think the person who offer such an offer is either too smart to give such a offer or too idiot to give such an offer. For me, I will not entertain this kind of JOKE.

Some of us are beginners in online business. Some have been there for centuries. The basic truth is that some people are writing not for moneysake, but popularity. Others do it for share joy of writing. Some of them undertake such contracts for getting experience. Situation warants. It is better to have something doing than to sitting idle. SamShima.

You cannot blame beginners like me. But thanks for the information anyway. This is the right place for beginners maybe. They might not even expect for high payment like you do because you are quite long in this kind of business. Probably they are only after of the experience they can get from writing of something they could not even imagine they will get paid.

I think people should only write when their work are well compensated. Not everybody can produce a well written article and for that reason writers can demand for good payment for their works. Getting chicken feeds payment is only devaluing the writers talent. I am not a serious writer so could not demand like other polished writers.

Eh. If you think $2, $3, $4, and such are good amounts of money. Try moving to the United States. I know companies(magazine and other various publishers.) paying as little as $50 per each article published to as high as $300+ per article. However, these usually require a lot better quality of writing and usually involve pretty heavy competition for them. Plus the nice thing about those low-end articles is you can almost always guarantee you'll get paid for them as there isn't nearly as much competition. The way I like to think of it is if I get $2 per article and write 10 articles in an hour that's $20 an hour. So if I could do that for 3 hours each day that's $60 a day, $1800 a month. For only about three hours a day. 21 hours a week. That's about the equivalent of a part-time job for almost double what you would make for an average one(less taxes too since you're "self-employed".). The sad truth though is that in most cases there is a good bit of writing work but whether you'll have enough to make such a steady income like that might be a bit unfeasible. Where do you write at for the $2, $3, and such? I am always interested in new places to write. PM me about it :)

The Sharon Bucks tasks that I have done on here have paid quite well - $3 and $4 dollars, they are not on all the time it's just a case of keeping checking the available tasks. I dont bother with the 15c tasks!!

I'm just surprised that anyone would accept $0.15 for their article when Review Stream's bulk rate is $0.50. I'd understand if it was Helium or Triond because they give revenue to articles based on views but at least you could get more than $0.15 for your article.

Way too low. However, some are deperate for money while others, cant write good quality articles. This could be the very well reason of it. But again, if it is too low....just move on!

Well of course they will pay 15 cents u get a lot of articles so you'll pay more in the total of people but you'll get ideas and some good articles so that's pretty smart. Shame on you for opening the eyes of the people lol :D i dont do the tasks cause i find them unfair so i get what u say :)

well i don't think 15 cents is an enough reward for a 300 word article but since i was free i wrote just for fun and posted it as i believe in the old saying that "something is better than nothing" because this type of task came on mylot after a long time...

hello~alicia I quite agree with you i think 15cents is not resonable at all , it waste time also , and i think my articles are worth more than this price

Well, I too believe in expressing my thoughts in discussions. For me, these earnings are a kind of bonus, since by themselves they are not enough even for my small daily needs. For daily needs, we have to rely on other earnings and our savings.

You are right when you say that to take that job for that measly amount is just underestimating their talents. But then again, a work is still a work however small the payment is. It is better than nothing, I guess.

That maybe due to excitement to earn some even if this is a small amount or maybe money for them are a having higher amount of exchange in their country and the amount is good enough... Have a nice day!

I totally agree with you on that. .15 cents is just not enough to do some research for whatever topic and then write on it. I just pass them on by. And I'm the same way I'd rather post comments and make discussions then waste my time on such task as those.

This does seem a remarkably small amount. I know that sites like myLot do not pay large sums: but then I imagine that most of are using this as a forum, for which there is also a modest incentive.

Honestly I did that task... and it give me headaches... they pay my article but I am not so happy about it. So little payment for a lot of thinking... I prefer to interact with my co mylotters. I totally agree with you...
