Writers wanted

[EmmaB]

Hello everyone

We are currently looking for writers to fulfil a new contract. We have a huge ongoing order from a client that requires 2000 word articles about all types of subjects that can be researched. We require a $10 per month membership which gains you access to our writers panel to claim the assignments. This is basically an administration fee. What I can guarantee is that you will have access to all the work you want or can physically do! - The payment is $23 for each assignment and you are paid promptly each Saturday via Paypal. We also have many other contracts ongoing.

I know you may think that paying $10 a month is a bit strange but most of our 70 writers have been with us for over 2 years. The fee tends to ensure that the quality of our writers are good and their intentions are serious.

Is there anyone here already working for you that can give us feedback.


I was viewing your pricing scale for clients at the site and you charge clients $10-$20 for articles between 250 and 1000 word articles. Can you put that into context for us and tell us what the writer makes in relation to that.
Also, do your specialists make more?

I work for them and I like it. The pay is good, because the articles are easily researched. The 2000 word articles do go quickly because of the layout. I pay the $10 a month and make it back on the first article. The pay scale they have is decent I beleive. In fact, it is easy to make some good money with their pay.

Thanks Pam, do you think as a niche writer in health I'd make my money back if trying to get jobs in my niche alone. I suppose I'd be concerned if writers select the topics they want are the writers scrambling to get topics. Or do you become a "specialist" and they handle those topics differently?

I would also like to know more information about this.

Am I misunderstanding? $23 for a 2000 word article? Seems a little low to me. Otherwise, very interesting.

I agree Kathleen. Maybe more info could be shared? And on another note, just out of curiousity, what is the administrative fee? I worked for a company of similar nature and didn't have to pay a monthly fee and article batches were actually assigned, not just up for grabs. So the administrator organized who got which assignments (with no fee to the writers). I suppose if there's a lot of work and a variety of content to be written, it could be lucrative for some...

I suppose it would be no different than Guru. For instance with Guru they takea small percentage of your earnings and you've paid a fee upfront (but you manage your business through their forum if you will, so you are getting some extra services there for that fee).<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
SoI guess I'd question whatpercentage they makeoff the top. Is it consistant, a certain percentage making the process fair to the writers?If I've paid them a monthly fee of $10 and their cut is outrageous, lets say for arguments sake more than 10%or all over the place based on the charge to the client that wouldn't seem right. I also notice they offer specials to clients who buy in bulk which must really drive the price down in some instances; which might be the case with the $23for 2000 word article.

I'm fearful to pay $10 every month and then find there is just a free-for-all everytime a topic is posted and if you aren't quick you're stuck writing what you don't know and we've all heard it before; write what you know it is less research. I think the service would be okay if there wasn't a monthly fee as I can't tell what they are actually doing for the $10 outside of letting you in to select jobs. I've done that without paying and it didn't work. I might expect more for the $10, like Jonsey says; someone assigning jobs or something. Considering their client charges if I take a job with them writing a 1000 article for less than $20 after their cut; it almost turns out to be the $3 an article scenario when you break it down. Plus they are only looking for writers to help fulfil this need. What happens when this job is over?

Their web page wasn't helpful; no info whatsoever for writers there. Are we locked in for a year if we tried out the site? Or is it month to month? What are the administrative fees? I'm sure they pay, and provide jobs, however there are too many unknowns. Most of these sites tell you upfront on their site how it is going to work.

Why would anyone pay a company for work? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

For what it's worth, I would never recommend to anyone to pay for a job, ever. Really.

There's been trouble with Articles and Content on this board before. I know threads were removed, but if you do a search you may be able to find some things.
