Since I wrote my blog on Grab a Writer a few days ago, I've seen many writers claim that Grab a Writer is a scam and doesn't have any actual jobs. Well, I beg to differ. Today I was emailed a job opportunity for one of their clients. Here's what the job looked like:
Take a look at that price for 10 articles! I would get a whopping $2.50! Wow, somebody catch me because I'm about to faint at my good fortune.
As a writer, you can click on the magnifying glass to see the details of the project:

Sorry, I'm going to need to pass this up. Decline! Hopefully not all of Grab a Writer's projects are like these.
11/29/12 ETA: Yup, my rate was wrong in my profile. They want a rate per 100 words, not per word. I changed it just now. Click on the link at the top of this blog post to go to my original post about Grab a Writer and look in the comments. There is a post from a writer that got ripped off because of this.
Good grief. Why would they send you that if you indicated your fees in your bio. Crazy.
ReplyDeleteI think you forgot to correct your fixed rate per 100 words
ReplyDeleteugh ... $2.50?
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you for declining the project.
