Hiring 5 people to write articles each dayDate: 01-18,6:46PM
Hello. I am currently hiring five different people to write two articles each day for my blog. I want a different style of writing and this is the reason why it would be great to have five people writing for me, as there will be different personalities involved. I do not have enough time to write the articles myself as I blog often.
Anyways, the five people I choose for this job will be paid anywhere from $25-$80 per article via their Paypal or cheque if preferred. The people I consider for this job will be sent a small assignment to complete two articles written in your own words. Most of my articles are going to be related to Lawyers, Electronics, and Auto Insurance. For the people I choose, this will be a 5 month gig. Thanks.
PLEASE e-mail me at [email protected] and not through the Craigslist link. I don't need any spammers.
I responded to add and someone by the name of Sheila Iverance emailed me back wanting to hire me for the job. I am a freelance copywriter. Her response was:
Hello,
I looked over your website and was quite impressed. Anyways, more about this gig. I would like about 4 articles written each day, but if you want to earn more your welcome to write more. Most of them are very short, not over 300 words. It must be conent written in your own words and I'll provide an example article so you can rewrite it. Anyways, I think you would be the perfect candidate for the job since you already have previous writing experience.
As far as pay goes, I pay at the end of the day instead of weekly. If this is something you think you could do, let me know and send me your paypal address as well. I'm looking for someone who can get started right away.

It looked legit to me, so I accepted. As a copywriter I usually ask for all my fees in advance to be paid via Pay pal. She was going to pay through Pay pal so I told her I would write 1 article first and then if she paid for that I would continue with the rest. She agreed and sent me my first assignment. I wrote the article and after sending 3 Pay pal requests, I have received nothing! She owes me $70.00 for the article I wrote and while that may not seem like much money to some of you, my time is valuable and I didn't appreciate being misled! I make great moeny doing this so the price she was willing to pay did not seem out of the ordinary to me.
She has not responded to any of my emails and for that matter she may be even be a he! I was scammed and next time go back to my traditional upfront fees (for all work!)
So. Whoever you are. You need to pay me! How dare you take my work and use it for your own. I have had the article copyrighted in the meantime so now we are talking legal matters. Get a life and stop ripping people off! Man up... And pay up!
