A few years ago, at a time of very low finances in the Worstall household, I used to write SEO pieces for a couple of the varied companies out there.250 words for $7-$10 was about the market.
No, not a great sum of money but then 250 words of blather with a few keywords thrown in might take 15 minutes. $28-$40 an hour isn\’t that bad an income, even if you were usually only able to get 60-90 minutes of work a day.
I\’ve just had an email from one of the companies I used to work for. They\’re looking for writers at 1 cent a word.
Eeek!
Glad I\’m not doing that any more.
“I’ve just had an email from one of the companies I used to work for. They’re looking for writers at 1 cent a word.”
Pay peanuts and you get an infinite number of monkeys and the complete works of Shakespeare.
How can they expect quality articles paying one-cent a word?!?!?
Tim,
Count yourself lucky – I was turned down by Google Ads.
