Two Peninsulas of Talent

Nancy Jackson

Aaack! I am FINALLY giving up on www.elance.com

I have had it with their contractor prices!! Today, I bid on a project and was offered the same rate that I pay my catsitter. Enuf already with the $9 per article pay rate -- and this from a guy who spells article "artical"! Guess the 3,467 writing clips I sent him didn't convince him that I was sufficiently "seasoned."

There, I feel lots better now. Sorry about that frontal lobe spasm.

I've heard stories like this, but am amazed every time. How many words did they want you to write before they shelled out the big bucks? :-)

They ultimately asked asked for 10 articles (400-600 words) for $100 to "see if it works out." As any SEO article writer knows, that means doing research, re-writing to get the appropriate word placement, then ordinary editing.
