Couldn't agree with you more.
These bottom dweller rejects on here are living in La-La Land. $10 - $15 per hour for experienced writers to provide them with excellent and comprehensive copy? Professional writing is not just an art it is a skill!!! I also luv when their posts ask for sample writing / article to be considered for the position. With just 100 replies they can collect all the articles they need for free and leave the optimistic hopefuls in the dust.
Word of advice to fellow writers - Never submit anything new for a post. Get the fee quoted in advance and get it in writing. The industry standard for experienced writers is $1 per word. So a 200 word article will cost you $200. Not a mere $5 or $20 or even $50!
As writers we need to charge accordingly and never sell out. Only then will these bottom dwellers realize that their exploitative days are OVER!!!!
Peace!
