Websites I’ve Discovered

So I found a couple of websites last night that might be helpful to some writers out there looking to be hired as a writer.  These are not bidding sites.  They are actually forums that have threads specifically for Content Creation, people looking to buy and sell.  Some people are looking for article writers, others are looking for forum posters, both of which are paid.  The first site is Digital Point and when you go there, you find the thread for Buy, Sell, or Trade.  This will take you to another section where you’ll click on Content Creation (which is located at the end of the sentence under the thread for Content).  The other site is Webmaster, here you will scroll all the way down to the Webmaster Marketplace and then the freelance category. 

This brings me to talk about something else I’ve discovered.  There are tons of people looking for content for their websites, and even on this forum you will find people asking where they can find a good content writer.  And yet these people are only offering pennies for this content they are seeking.  One was offering a $1 for 100 words, or $3 for 500 words, and things like that.  I’m sorry, but you are not going to find quality work for so cheap.  They of all people should know that is not easy to write good articles, especially if you have to do research.  Obviously, that is why they are paying to get someone else to do it.  So they should pay accordingly.  Why would they think that a couple dollars for an hour or two of research and writing and revising and typing would be sufficient to get quality work?  Silly.  Maybe there are some people out there who are willing to write for nothing, but I am worth more than that, even if I have no degree or documented experience.  Writers should not sell themselves so short.  We are in demand, therefore we should have the say on how much we are worth!

I had to speak about that.  Its something very important that I have learned that all writers or wanna be writers should know.  Well, this is all for now!
