Craig’s Dregs: Writing Doesn’t Pay
The list of low- or non-paying writing gigs on Craigslist continues to boggle the mind and rupture the spleen.
How about this one? Write fifty 500 word articles a week at $6 to $10 per!
- If you enjoy writing and have experience and knowledge in any or all of the above mentioned topics, please contact us immediately. The pay is $6.00 to $10.00 per 500 word article. We assign our writers up to 50 articles per week, or as little as 20 for those who prefer a lesser work load. Please attach several writing samples with your reply.
I’ve got yer sample right here. Sure, I’d love to crank out 100,000 words a month for 2 Gs. I especially like the fact that they make no mention of what the writing is about. Sounds like a quality product–just like sausage stuffing except with words! Yum.
On the other hand, some listings could serve a higher purpose. I’m imagining a situation where I learn that I’ve been given poison and need a powerful emetic. Who needs Epicac when I can read yet another posting for “I Have a Great Story.” Sure you do–and I feel much better now.
