Hello,
Do you, by any chance, ever have links to *legitimate* writing jobs? These Craiglist ads are both questionable in their legitimacy, and an insulting slap in the face to a professional writer. They offer mere peanuts for our writing time and our talents. My story or poem is worth much more than simply 10 dollars as the 2nd link here wants to pay. They will be making money off this book they are planning so surely they can offer a writer the going rate PER WORD not per story. This is true of every Craigslist post I have clicked on. They are not willing to pay a quality wage for our time writing or researching, and people who take these low-paying jobs “for extra money” are hurting the rest of us who need to live off our writing income. I wish all I needed was “extra” money, but I live alone and have no other income to fall back on like these “extra money” spouses/roommates, do. My time must be spent earning the base pay for my roof over my head and my electric bill to heat my office. Thank you for reading, and please, stop posting links to these cheap jobs that people are taking and ruining the industry for the rest of us.
I would rather get 3 links per newsletter of legitimate jobs willing to pay for QUALITY writers, than 68 links not willing to pay anything except the lowest bid for an amateur. Thank you.
I’m sorry you don’t find the lists useful or of high enough quality for you.
I used to insist that the jobs I posted pay at least $10 until I got an email from a woman who explained how much of a positive difference the $2 an article jobs had made in her life. I realized then that “quality” is in the eye of the beholder.
Besides, I regularly get thank you emails from professional writers telling me that they land higher paying gigs through my list – not as many to be sure. And I’m talking about writers who earn decent annual wages.
I doubt if my posting lower paying writing jobs has any effect at all on your base pay. You’re the one who gets to decide what you’ll accept and what you won’t. And I doubt if my posts truly ruin “…the industry for the rest of us.”
You could, of course, start your own job list and post only those jobs you consider quality. Or you could stop using my list completely. I do post where I search – http://www.aboutfreelancewriting.com/2008/12/14-24-or-28-places-to-find-freelance-writing-work/
