Re: Why UPWORK is NOT an IDEAL choice for FREELANCE (COPY)WRITERS?

I generally apply to only three to five jobs a month on Upwork. Most of the ads there are garbage, people wanting articles for a penny a word or less and other such nonsense. If you're using up all...

Re: Show me it's more than just semantics: Copywriter vs Content Writer

I didn't so much decide to specialize in technical content writing as I fell into it. I have a bachelor's in math/CIS and an MS in MIS (as well as an MBA). A cyber security company hired me to write...

Re: Show me it's more than just semantics: Copywriter vs Content Writer

I think this is sort of like a web developer vs. a web designer.

Technically, a web developer works on coding, and that's it; a web designer works on the design of the site (layout, graphics,...

Re: Online marketplace for services -- any suggestions?

Yeah, if you looked on Upwork, you could probably find someone willing to do this for a bargain-basement rate.

That said, you'd be better off taking that money and buying groceries with it. At...

Re: Content Writer wanted

I agree. People who ask for free "test" articles are shysters who are fishing for free content, period. There is absolutely no need to demand that a brandy-new article be written from scratch;...

Re: Alternative for Odesk Outsourcing?

What they're doing is really crappy: they're performing "beta tests" wherein some--but not all--freelancers are prohibited from bidding below $3.00/hour, and in some cases, $4.00/hour.

Re: Why do freelance writers undervalue their services?

It's very simple. It is very easy to find buyers willing to pay $1.00-$5.00 for an article. It is much more difficult to find buyers willing to pay $50.00+ for an article. As Alexa pointed out in her...

I wouldn't hire an article writer for $1.00/hour, or even $8.00/hour, not because I have a moral problem with paying that low, but because it's highly likely I'd be paying for garbage content,...
