Even those of you who are having a good experience can not possibly ignore how much more work writers are asked to do now than we were last year, all for the same pay.
I have only been writing since the beginning of this year, so I don't have any experience of how better things were last year but ask me again next year and I might be complaining too lol. I think this thread is a good example of showing how important it is to diversify your work and not rely on one company for your freelance income. Even though I'm enjoying Demand, I will keep looking around for other opportunities, so that if the topic I enjoy over there ever dries up, I still have plenty of work elsewhere. Thanks ladies!
