Question about BMR article pay

[mestillaqt]

I'm heavily looking at oDesk, Freelancer, etc. and I am looking at BMR article work. I enjoyed doing it for a bit over a week even though there was no pay (still getting to the bottom of that). I learned that I like the work, but now I'm trying to decide what a reasonable bid is. I know these are simple, little to know research articles. But I still don't want to earn less than 1c per word even with simple BMR article work. 1 cent per word is not bad, right?

From a marketer's point of view it is going to be hard to find someone willing to hire for 1c a word for a BMR article. Most people just want someone to be able to write a coherent article that gets accepted to BMR.

You may get lucky and find someone willing to pay $1.50 an article but it most likely won't be easy. I usually see people offering around $1.00 an article but have seen as low as $.50 an article.

I charge 1 cent a word. But, on odesk I have never seen anyone paying that much they usually want less than $1.00 per hundred words. Even though the work doesn't require any research we still have to type the words. That's what the clients need to understand.

Mturk has similar work offered for $1 an article, but it takes time to pick and choose which cuts down on what your hourly would be.

Writing for WritersDomain.net is very much like writing BMR articles. If your sample is rated at 4 stars, they pay $3.30 per article. Articles have to be over 200 words, at least two paragraphs, and have the keyword used twice. Usually very simple the write, and they seem to have endless work.

They only pay once a month though.

mtn_writer - Thanks for bringing up WritersDomain in your reply. We still pay once a month but we now have a "Pay Me Now" option once you've accumulated over $100 pending. I hope this helps!

Too bad their registration is off. It looks like a good gig to have.
