the career as freelance writer

Many sites offer $1 - $40 per article. Each article has to be completely original content so you really need to have it checked by copyscape before you submit it to ensure that you haven't accidentally written something that is too similar to something previously published elsewhere. Even one sentence that is too similar is enough to have your article rejected. Your article specifications can be basic such as 50 words and include these two taglines. Or it can be complex such as 1500 words minimum these 8 taglines and an in depth break down of information which must use politically correct language with perfect grammer and punctuation. $4000 per month is highly unlikely for the average freelance writer, but could be obtained by someone who is very experienced and specialises in one field of writing and who has been specifically 'headhunted' by a company because they have been impressed by the person's work. Either way, you would be looking at a high number of articles and a very good reputation to generate a liveable income. Hope that helps.

No, i highly doubt there is any substance to this at all. I have been freelance writing professionally now for about 6 months, and i can tell you now that the number of pieces at that rate are very few and far between. The most that I have been paid is $44 for one article, but there was a lot of research involved and a certain level of expertise too. Usually, I am lucky to get $1 to $5 per article. I am now running an article writing business that I have just started up. I can only afford to pay my workers between $1 and $1.50 or up to $2 if the work is particularly intensive, which it rarely is. Yes, it is a steady, solid stream of work, but it does not pay well at all, and I highly doubt there are many on $4000 a month!

Perhaps I've become cynical over the years but that sounds like a lot of money. Not per article; a lot of sites offer $10 or even $20 per article. At Constant Content, you can set the price of your articles based on your expertise and what you feel is an acceptable price that others will pay. But numbers like $4000 a month make me suspicious. That is 2-400 articles, 7-14 a day. That is an incredible momentum to maintain, for anyone. Maybe 7 in one day and nothing for three or four days and then 2 or 3... and that is if you have an endless supply of information coming in. Maybe if you work in the entertainment industry and have the first line to the latest celebrity news...but if that were the case you wouldn't be looking for freelance work on Facebook.

Hi Adhyz, the rate has gone down for freelance writers. Now even native writers are willing to accept the rate of one cent per word for article writing. It is not to say that a higher rate is not possible. If the assignment comes from magazines and newspapers for a niche, the rate is very high. I think even getting $4000 per month for ten articles is possible. However, not all writers qualified, since they must write according to stringent requirements.

i think its the writing job that you need to pay before you sign up. I d0nt sign up to that kind of job because i d0nt have a money to invest.lol..besides, i think it's too good to be true coz they to have exciting offers.

I don't think that they're legit. I've been receiving some emails about freelance writing, and when i tried to join, they were collecting some fees and ask for by credit information, so probably that were some scam or something. Try to research more on about that, and read reviews so that you'll be sure before you join them.

Earning $4000 per month from article writing seem pretty impossible. One article can get you around $1 to $5. So around 4000 articles to earn that much? I can't imagine writing article that much per month. Then again some website (I forgot which one) can earn you around $10 to $25 per article. But you really need to be good in English or they'll reject you after your first submission.

One way to check whether it's legit or scam is by googling it of course. Try with the keywords: the web URL, web title and include the words 'scam' and/or 'review'. That way, even not always, sometimes help me to determine whether the site is legit or scam. And that's also the way for me to evaluate MyLot.com :)

My advice is you can have a try. No matter how much many you cna earn from it, it must a good experience and you can learn something from it. And i'm trying to be a freelance writer because i like writing and have enough time now. So i hope to win some money for what i like to do. And i also want to check my writing skills via this opportunity.
