Donkey work only...

@SpikeTheLobster, I have confused with "well" and "good" innumerable times. That certainly isn't good for me I know that. But thanks for pointing out again. I hope this time I will take care. Ok. The pay rates will certainly vary in everyone's eyes. Having high or low pay rates are certainly relative terms and I hope you will agree with me. It depends on what level a person is working at. For beginners these rates will certainly be like a dream come true. As far as you are concerned, these will be surely lower rates as you have raised your bar that high already. Everyone has the right to say yes or no, to accept or to refuse. So, as you pointed out, a requester will always have the right to refuse. This reminds me of postloop, as there too rejections are too common (and I am sure you will also not welcome people who post low quality posts on your forum on PL!). I have already given this a thought - letting someone else do my donkey work while I work on some projects that pay well (got it right now ). But I was looking for someone who would work outside a system like a bidding site. I just want to keep it informal. @2020mehere, I have a couple of points to include about your second point. You might have heard when applicants apply for a specific job in a certain company, the company asks for their experience first. Those with certain experience are given priority. But if everyone starts asking this, when will the guy get a break? In this response I too would like to ask, if a requester is a new person, and the job is according to our liking, what should we do? Please don't take it personally. I am asking as guidelines. Secondly, is there any specific reason for not accepting work from a provider who has an approval rate of less than 50%? What does that suggest - a waste of our work?

See what I mean? Isn't that the BEST info from 2020?

And now proper responses: @abhi: Absolutely, I can understand that. I always try to remind people to question everything rather than just rush in on the advice of someone else (especially me), that's all. My comments were more directed at passing readers than at you, since I know you're a smart lad and check things out for yourself. Finding someone to do your donkey work won't be easy... you could try the freelancing sites to find someone, then move it off-site after a trial period to reduce your costs, maybe? @2020: Totally agree on all points. It's nice to see that the quality thing actually works in an ungoverned system (I mean where there's no quality enforcement from the site, as such) - that's very reassuring. And you're right about earnings: it's all relative, of course. As I mentioned above in my response to abhi, my point is really to get people to stop and think rather than just follow the knee-jerk reaction. Far too many people dive in without thought and with no reason to trust what's written online. The details you've provided (both here and in the other discussion) allow people to make a MUCH better decision.

Yes, there have been loads of discussions about this site. That is what has driven me to give it a try. If the site is pleasing the members, what more will anyone want? Did you bid when you wrote an article? Please tell me the process how do I start there? As far as I am concerned, I am earning below what I should be, I guess. So, I won't mind giving it a try. At least, I will be getting more for the same efforts than what I get now. If I get to write only, I mean as you said without wasting time doing other things, then I am in for some luck.

Oh this is an important piece of information for me. I was under the (wrong) impression that one needs to bid there. I thought this site works like a bidding site. I have read that there is a video tutorial, but I haven't seen it yet. Probably, will do it now.

There's no bidding on iwriter, all prices are fixed. You just accept a project (one article per project), you write it in the given timeframe and the client accepts it or rejects it. If you decide to register, there is a short video tutorial that will explain everything, it's really a very simple interface.
