Paying N1/word Is Not Only Trash But An Insult. by generalpelu(m): 1:36am On Dec 23, 2020
I've never gotten any writing gig from here, but I see adverts of writers needed at N1 per word.

To me, that amount is an insult. I'll rather go work on a building site as a laborer than to write for such amount.

Stop paying writers like beggars.

At N1 per word,you earn more if the project is big. I can't pay N3 to N5 if you'll write morethan 100,000 words. N1 is not an insult. It depends on the project size.

Even if I'll write a million words, I can't take N1 from you. Something I can finish writing in two years. Except you want a wishy washy writing.

I already said it's better than N1. At least, it's two times N1.

How do you mean ''you can finish writing in 2 years''?
