Never bid on crap like this, OK

Hello,

How are you today? Please I will like you to go to article directories and pick up 1,000 articles each for topics relation to "motivational quotes" and "dating".

I will like you to present each of the 1,000 articles to me in MS Word files.

I have attached a format. You will notice that the titles are presented on top and that each new article starts from a new page.

Do kindly ensure that no two articles are the same. This is important.

How long will it take you to complete this project?

Chinedu

This person wants all these articles COPIED (stolen) for less than $30. For less than 3 cents a piece. After RAC fees, you'd be getting around $20. For all that. Ridiculous, isn't it.

Freelance Writing Jobs Blog Talk Radio

You can hear the show here and there were a lot of leads and the Amazing Shannan was interviewed, the show was really cool. It was neat to hear the voices of ladies I know online. Ihope you enjoy the show, too!

She mentioned Suite 101 (back when they paid their writers) I made over $150 last month, and each month is higher than the month before. The workload never changes, it's always about 4 hours a month, and the pay goes up each month. So disregard what she said about that.

The show, though was great, I need to listen to the whole thing, and you might, too.

Twitter Funnies

Twitter has a feature that allows users to make favorites of tweets they like, I just don't see the point, but I've been doing it anyways. Here are my favorite tweets, I chose original (non reply) tweets that stand alone and hold way more than 140 characters of meaning or humor.

revision: Hard to believe that the scrawny kid who use to play with himself while reading Mad Magazine is now a prominent doctor.

Up late watching Gymnastics. Doesn't Nastia seem like a cruel name to give a child; sounds like nasty and nausea

"Now I need to bone my blue ball!" screams my 4 year old. I am really hoping he meant "I need to BOWL my blue ball."

Even though The Man has tried convincing me for years that tomatoes are a fruit, I have my doubts. Privately, I believe it's a vegetable.

Bob Costas is like childbirth. Even if you have forgotten, the reminder of that pain in the ass is almost instantaneous when it hits.

I have found the root of the world's problems. It's quite simple. Men. Are. Retarded.

I strongly feel the need to retweet @jkottke: "Accidentally waterboarded myself in the shower this morning." Nice one, mate. Nice one.

I wish I craved exercising as much as I do chocolate.

"This is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a twitter!" Fairly constant adoration for Patton Oswalt. Sue me.

I just picked up a post-it note on the floor that has (in husband's handwriting) "KOREAN HOE-Curled? Cheap?" The hell? ;-)

Marshalls is opening a chain of plastic surgeons with irregular, discontinued and offbrand boobs at low low prices!

Have you ever been out to dinner with someone and wished they only had 140 character to tell you something? I did tonight.

I quit a job today.

Here's the letter I wrote

I'm done with this job, I hope you find someone who can put up with the wide variety of trivial personal preferences that each editor seems to have. One day an article isn't focused enough, one day it is too focused. (name of company) is great, the ever-changing whims of the editors, combined with stricter standards that I think they've all interpreted differently is ridiculous. I'd like to leave on good terms, I think the company is fantastic.

If I get fired

If I get fired, it is because I have violated some kind of rule by making the pretty widget instead of keeping the ugly widget on my site. Compare for yourself- let me know what you think.

More work sources for content producers

TextBroker although I hear the pay is low. In the contract there's a word spelled wrong, that is so tacky. I registered, in anything comes of it, I will let you know. I hope it doesn't, I don't really want another low paying job.

Mahalo the rates for the individual jobs I saw mentioned were steep, but it was also mentioned that there was quite a bit of work involved in each job. I signed up, again, I will let you know if anything comes of it. I was supposed to get an automatic email confirmation and it didn't arrive. And yes, I checked the spam box.


RentaCoder is another one I learned of today. I had seen the listing before, but I thought it was all for technical programmers. I saw a graphic design job that I placed a bid on today.

LovetoKnow requires their writers to post 20 articles per month. I hope they pay well, that's a heck of a rule. They didn't have any categories that interested me in the slightest, so I didn't apply, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open, in case I hear more about them.

WRG- Writers Resource Guide? No, Writers Resource Center, WRC? I don't know. Once again, if anything comes of it, I'll let you know!

BellaOnline I saved the best for last. This site is fantastic, the level of support for writers is unparalleled. You don't get paid for clicks or hits, but you do get to place affiliate links in the newsletter. I'm writing on budget decor, which is fun. I like to decorate, and I'm cheap. I don't know if I'm good at it or anything, but I can write about it. My keywording is good, today I found a few of my articles on page 1 in google searches. The lady who owns the site is amazing, a fantastic lady. I have a lot to learn from her, I'm loving Bella Online

Suite101 I have been writing for them since December. I was recently promoted to feature writer for my section, it came with a pay raise and a teeny bit of extra requirements. I have upped my article production there from one a week to one a day with the hopes of generating much bigger income in a very short time.

Associated Content, I have never written anything there, ever. I'm not sure how it works. I keep meaning to try and figure it out. I left helium.com because the pay was insulting and the other articles on the site were garbage, and I hear other AC writers complaining of the same thing, but it sounds to me like the AC writers are making a bit more, too.
