As a writer for more than 15 years, DO NOT ever ever write original work for

this kind of money. That is a slap in the face ...especially as a RD. Most

magazines pay more than 1.00/ word. The standard rate for internet/web

articles is low about 75-150.00 per article. However, most places let you

repurpose content so it kind of makes up for it.

The internet and information age has really ruined journalism as a career

but RDs are always doing stuff for free or less than what they are worth

which brings down the whole profession.

If someone is not going to pay you, keep the writing for yourself. I always

put my best work on my OWN blog, not someone else's.

" I need a few talented writers with experience in the following

niches/topics: freelance writing, running blogs/websites, publishing

content, and internet marketing.

I run a blog/website about these topics and I need 1 500-800 word article

per week, per writer (maybe more if you want). I'll give you a day of the

week, you will make your post via WordPress (I'll give you a

username+password to use) on that day every week and I'll pay you based on

word count.

Pay is $.015 per word, that's 7.50 for 500 words. I will pay every 100

words, so a 656 word article would be paid for 600, which comes out to 9

dollars.

These articles will be attributed to your name if you wish.

You will be expected to use your best judgment concerning keyword

usage/density, tags, and categories. I already have categories set up for

you to post in. Images are a plus.

You will be choosing the titles/topics of your articles. The audience is

freelance writers and the publishers that hire them, the content should

offer value and substance to both groups.
