$18 Down The Drain! by Crossbow(op): 9:26pm On Jan 14, 2019
My people this freelancing work nor be beans o. I just hooked up with a guy on freelancer(dot)com and he offered to pay me $18 per for a comprehensive 500 word article. For my mind I say "see free money". I did my first work today and my people, it was not funny at all, these whites mean quality and the topics that they give are strange and out of this world that when you finally get materials to write on, you will struggle not to plagiarise. Your grammar must be top notch, no beating round the bush and when they give you a word count of 500 words in a field you are not familiar with (for me topics on engineering, chemistry and medicine) brother you will struggle with 250 words.

The most depressing factor is time limit. 500 words on an article that the topic relates to architecture and a time limit of 2 hours is something that will look simple to you but in reality, you will work your brains out and struggle to meet up with 3 hours.

Brothers and Sisters, even if it is $30 per article I don't have the passion to write again. The pressure is too much and the chance of your work been appreciated and rewarded is very slim especially when you are getting writing jobs on what you know nothing about.

This is not to discourage anyone but the writing game is tough and if you feel you can handle it, well, good for you. I am currently learning how to code, I will continue graphics designing and learn other freelancing skills that can earn me cash.

Please share your freelancing experience especially those claiming to write 500 words in 30 mins and earning $15-$20.

I think ListVerse pays $100 bucks per article you submit and they approve. With no time limit involved, i think you should try it.
