Default Amazing what you can find when you browse

So, I'm browsing getafeelancer and found this gem:
I need original 500 word articles on various topics.
I am willing to pay only $0.25 per article and require at least 5 articles each day!

The articles need to pass copy scale or else payment will not be made.

I require the articles in doc format! Please submit a sample of your previous writings.

All articles and their copyrights belong to me if selected.

All I can say is: OUCH!. And the sad part is, someone will take that.

That is pretty amazing if someone does take that. I wonder if its going to genuine content.

Doesn't surprise me. People want something for nothing these days. I'm sure there's a writer in some third world country with internet access who'll snap that up.

If you read that and you read the words "each day",
those are magical food-words for a freelancer. Get
paid each day - why not?

As Kael41 stated, yeah, a writer in a third world
country with internet access would most likely snap
it up.

You'd normally see these low dollar jobs on Rentacoder. There is always someone in another country that's willing to do that. Most will take a few first jobs really cheap to get some feedback.

That's a whopping $1.25 per day. Roughly around $37.50 a month. Wow!! This guy must be out of his mind!

Pretty much. Hell, I've been offered $15 an article for some projects. I hate it when people are actively trying to devalue something that takes work to develop.

And people will bid for the low-wage projects. I see a lot of these jobs posted online. Not sure what kind of articles they get for that price.

That's unfrikinbelievable. I pay no less than 15.00 for my articles (well my writer often gives me 2.00 off that price) and I would never consider going below. When I first started IM I was buying articles @ between 5 and 10.00 and they were so bad I sincerely believed the author was in grade school.

I'd go so far as to say that if I ever did get a quality article for under 10.00 I would pay them an extra 5 anyway and tell them they are undervaluing their craft.
