Re: A little off topic, hopefully not a violation to discuss

Take a look at this article. It's a little old but it may help.

I am always looking for writing opportunities....I was stunned when I found

this one....Calculate the price for 800 words and you will be floored.

" 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.

Native English speakers only. "
