Are You Cheap

I have a blog and i always try for the best quality of writing. If you just write for money nobody is ever going to read it. When you write you should be passionate about it and not think about the money.

I don't have a writing job. I don't know anyone that does either. So, I don't know how much people charge to do that. To me I would like to make at least the minimum wage amount because it would be a waste of a lot of time to do it for hardly anything.

I"m cheap in my own weird way. I spend way too much on some things, and then I"ll go way out of my way to get a discount on other things...

As a way of getting yourself published and building a portfolio of work, selling yourself cheap might have it's advantages. I would personally prefer to write in a voluntary capacity or just for fun, and make a few pennies here and there as I do here for short, unpolished, off the top of the head ramblings.

No I don't & I don't think they have it where we live? Anyways, I don't normally go for stuff that's not worth the money, like you put it it's just a waste of time & effort

Bidding for jobs must be an absolute minefield. I can think of peopleforjobs, that's one site that springs to mind at present and all I can say is; well, if people want to work for much less than the minimum wage, that's up to them..but I won't do it. Not even when I'm desperate, like now lol.

i am cheap and always looking for ways to save money but to answer your question, i always low ball my bids because i guess that i figure i am not that good.

I do write for money but I don't use those sites. I have a broker that gets the jobs and assigns them to the writer best for the job. I make about $2 for each article--some take 30 minutes and some take a whole day. It's true, sometimes the hourly rate is not worth it. But I can't find employment right now and I need to supplement my income. A couple of dollars a day is more than I would have if I didn't write. Sure, my time is worth more than that but a little money is better than none. I still some out ahead.

pikey I love to write and have gone to those writing sites and was apalled at what they pay for work that takes really some time to do it properly. I do not know if I can bring my self to do that,see myself so cheaply I need money yes but I am a good writer and worth more than they pay.If I find one with realistib pay then I might apply.

Yes many freelance writers are at very cheap rate. Obviously this is their way to have more assignments. But I believe if you deserve higher rate then you can always quote what you really deserve. The more they lower their rate the more they are making themselves losers even if they win the project.It is not easy to write and not all can write. All freelance writers must maintain a good rate which will make their job as rewarding as having regular job offline.

Hi pIkefIsh, I don't think it is wise to earn money by writing articles. Writing can be a hobby, but should not be a means to earn money. It is only time killing. If someone utilize the time by hard work he/she can earn lots of money.

I think that during a time of need these days most people will do just about anything to survive. Based on my one full years ago salaried life of six digits, I would have said back then absolutely not, I won't do it. However being unemployed now for a full year, I suppose I could entertain being paid cheaply, as opposed to say starving. Have not resorted to it yet however, getting pretty close. At any rate and in defense to all who do so, sell themselves cheap; Congrats as you are putting in honest days work as oppose to becoming a beggar and or thief in order to survive. My hats off to all who do so to meet their basic necessities and not resort to crime and or living off the government.

I have never found a site like this at all as yet. I would love to be aware of what sites did this as it will keep more money coming in but i would not do it if it just wasn't worth my time. I would love to have an extra "job" that could pay a decent amount of money and for the job to be easy enough to do and also for me to complete the work quickly. I am not sure though as to how i would find these type of sites, not sure what to look for.

This is done actually under several conditions. One is that they stay home because there is no work. Then, it maybe done during free time, or at nights.

You got the point. But I think people doing so don't have anything else to do, it's a way for them to relax and earn extra money, which is kinda part-time job. For one thing, they can't lose their current decent job. for another thing, they wanna make extra money at spare time, they resort to online and find a way.

Hi, sometimes we write not only for the money but as a form of expressing our inner feelings and experience. We may be under paid but still feel alright because we have expressed what we really want to say and with the consolation of knowing that it would be read by so many people.
