TheManofTomorrow:
I might have some ideas we can run with regarding this. How about we set up a team to look more into this?

TheManofTomorrow:
I know it will be worth it.

As a person that has benefitted multiple times from job boards on Reddit and nairaland altogether. I can say the difference is glaringly clear.

How do you think we can go about it?

Offer to pay per article or at least weekly, you'll be making your pick from among the best writers on this platform.

And @KulgEr, I second your opinion of creating a dedicated thread meant for writers hunting for jobs.

It would help everyone to prevent all these shady .50 kobo guys flocking around NL.

Hello Nairlanders

I need writers! This job will eventually pay up to ten naira per word (N10/w) for the right people, so read carefully. However, we'll start from N5/word for everyone.

I really hate the greedy lots on Nairaland who receive well-paid jobs from foreign clients but are TOO STINGY to pay writers even N5/word. I really hate you guys with passion and pray that the money you make off the sweat of these writers you exploit will have NO blessing in your lives whatsoever. I wish I could provide enough jobs for every writer on this platform. So that you two-faced greedy rattle snakes are forced to look elsewhere for your slave labor.

That said, let's get back to business

Recently I was contacted by a Lithuanian SEO agency looking to guest post on my website and willing to pay handsome $$$ for it. After some haggling the agent greed to pay more than I expected.

This is an SEO agency that usually needs plenty of content for its clients' SEO campaigns. Their agent told me they work with different webmasters and would like to have a long-term cooperation with me. I agreed, but on the condition that I write the articles myself, which means they'll pay for my writing and for guest posting. The agent agreed, but on the condition that I reach a certain monthly volume.

My website is currently charging its way to Google's first page for most keywords. If I can publish a couple dozen articles in the next three weeks, I will hit the required volume to start receiving plenty of content jobs from these guys. However, I need the service of writers to reach that volume within next month. This is where you come in.

I'm already earning from affiliate marketing, but I want to introduce new earning streams. Specifically, I'm about to join Google's Ad network and contract with the SEO agency I told you about.

I want to get into a contract with a couple writers. This is going to be a long term relationship for all of us and will pay well in the long-term. But you should expect your first pay on or before October 30th. This job is not someone who's is need of urgent cash. It is for someone who can wait until the end of October, after which your pay will come on a weekly basis (Ten naira per word).

Your first 10 writing assignments will be paid at N5/word. Then every month, I'll increase 1 naira until it reaches N10/word. But only good writers will be paid this rate. However, no writer receives below [/b]N5/word.

[b]Don't worry about getting paid. Even my current earnings will be enough to pay you all if not because I'm running other website projects. But by October ending, I should receive enough income to pay all my writers, run my online projects, and still retain enough money to lead a comfortable life.

If you have been looking for a Nigerian client that pays well and will provide steady jobs, you just found the right opportunity. I have good intention and lots of good surprises for my writers, which I won't mention here. But one thing is certain: each and every one of you will be happy working with me.

So what are my requirements?

1. Strict adherence to instructions
2. In-depth research
3. Good grammar
4. At least 10K words monthly
5. Zero plagiarism or fluff
6. Meeting datelines
7. Fluent writing

Send your best sample (just one) to ppcasher89 @ gmail [dot] com
If I like it, you'll hear from me within the week. Despite the samples, your first job is your test. This position will pay handsomely in the long run and provide enough writing jobs for you every month.

AgentKB:
Ordinarily, I'm not supposed to respond to this post because Nairaland happens to be my number one source of client and who knows if you'll be my next client. Or my next client would stumble on this. Lol.

You mentioned that you offer an opportunity to average Nigerians who're looking to make ends meet.

This statement triggered my response to this post. Also, you said some writers are already working on this gig. To some extent, this resonates with my experience.

My first few tasks as a writer were similar to yours.

I met the guy on Facebook and he offered me seven hundred Naira per article to write forty articles of a thousand words each.

Being my first time writing, I gladly obliged and went to work immediately. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into.

I worked consistently for forty-five days (one month and fifteen days to be precise). Sometimes, the topics were so difficult I'll have to read like someone preparing for a postgraduate exam (blog posts for that matter).

I had to spend my own money on data, power supply, food etc.

Due to the stress and lack of experience on my part, there was a significant drop in my , my performance and I didn't meet his expectations at all.

So, he gave me a piece of his mind, making it clear that I added almost no value to his blog. I still feel the pain of working so hard just to receive a fair share of ridicule. Although He paid me out of obligation, and not truly as a compensation for my contribution to his blog.

I felt bad and still feel bad. I wished and still wish things went a little differently than it did. But, we live to learn.

I'm sharing this story with you so that your writers don't tell the same tales about their relationship with you.

Kindly note that these people will spend heavily on data, power supply, food, back pain, eyes strain and all.
There's no way they can get that from the money you are offering them.

It will cost them much, much more to produce your content than you are offering them in return for their efforts.

On average, they'll need 300 Naira daily for data. Your compensation and can't cover that. They'll also pay Nepa bill and eat at least once a day.

While working on your content, sir, power supply may become erratic, distroying their chargers and they'll need to replace it. How can they afford that from the pay? (it happened to me).

They themselves may not know what they are getting into. I've been there. It's a terrible experience.

Not a thing I wish on anyone.

It may be best you review your offer or adjust the workload.

I can guarantee that, soon enough, your writers would start looking for better offers else where, if nothing is done to help them feel rewarded.

I'm saying this because I know.

The cost would soon start piling up and they'll realize they are paying you more than you are paying them.

Then, they'll start looking for more gig to make up for the cash leak. Their commitment to your gig would drop. They'll perform poorly at the task.

Then, they'll leave for a better paying gig. That's how it happens, always.

It's called employee turnover due to dissatisfaction.

ekems2020:
Nice energy...but I'm smiling.

Anyway, this is a life of all man to himself.

Nobody should pay attention to these jonses who are good at crying foul at how bad a pay is but wouldn't give you #1 if you ask them for help.

If you can manage this my low pay offer...I stated it already that it's a low pay offer...so, if you can manage it shoot me a WhatsApp DM and join the team.

Don't listen to these people. They can only type long epistles like this one here but will not help you when you're in need.

Rather, come to me and get something for your time and let's grow together moving on to better days.

This is Nigeria. No one will help you. They will only tell stories like this one here. So, help yourself when you see an opportunity.

ekems2020:
I

The funny thing is that most of you that sharp mouth here can't write a complete paragraph devoid of errors yet want to earn #3 per word.

I have plenty of evidence of wacky works from most of you guys on my phone and if necessary one day I'll post it here for everyone to see.

Why should I pay you a high rate when I have to spend an additional 1 hour editing your content? Why?

ekems2020:
There's no history of you ever hiring anyone here....so, rest! Those who this offer is for have already resumed work.

So, take a seat. I won't promise what I can't pay. A time will come when I'll be able to pay the #2, #3, even #5 per word. Till then, I don't have your time.
