Working for peanuts

Basically any of us that freelance are doing that, I believe. I have not seen it on an hourly basis, but when you work for a penny a word, that is the same thing. If I had a regular gig like that I would be pleased. I may find that I will have to take minimum wage if I ever find another job.

I try never to under sell myself. If a client asks for well below my price range for work then I just dont accept the offer. I think that three dollars an hour is way too low! There are so many other people that will pay you a lot more if you are good at writing. I would recommend checking out sites like Associated Content. I can easily make 10-12 dollars an hour on this site.

I wouldn't recommend writing articles for $3 per hour unless they are very short like a paragraph review or so. But multiple 400 to 500 word articles heecck no! If that's what you're doing, you could earn more off revenue sharing sites. But hey, it you just really need that cash now and it's helping make a difference in your life now, then more power to ya.

I'm doing pretty much the same thing at the moment and I jut see it as a means to an end. Freelance writing isn't the easiest of careers to get into and from my point of view, I have to get the experience from somewhere. I write more for the article writing sites. They won't pay a fortune to begin with but by building up a large bank of articles, I can begin to earn a regular income and my efforts are starting to pay off to a degree. If you're retain the copyright to the articles then you can use them for other sites and by writing variations of the articles you can perhaps start to pitch them to other publications that pay much more.

this life is a step by step process my friend. once i have a job that not for collage graduate like me, a house keepers. i take care the plants and i must sweep the yard every morning, then after 2 month a friend of the house owner ask me to be his driver, private Driver for 5 month. one day after knowing my education background and what i'm capable of, im placed in office and work as data input administrative until now with a good salary. i don't know what will happen to me next month or next year but i'm sure that i will have a good and a better life.

I tell you what it's not that hard to find other jobs that will pay you more if you have a specialized advantage over other writers in a specific field. Be sure man that there is absolutely NO CHANCE of there being another opportunity for you that at LEAST pays $5 an hour.
