A lot of companies based in the Philippines pay their writers at a very dismal rate. Just like essays.ph, they’ll give you a load of say 5 articles with 500 words and would just pay you 300 pesos! At ayaw nila i-disclose kung magkano ba talaga ang kinikita nila per order. If we will look sa mga foreign companies offering the same type of job, some are paying at a minimum of $16 per page! Ang laki ng diperesnya. Kawawa ang mga writers dito. Kanina lang I was suspended from essays.ph dahil lamang sa nagreklamo ako. Isipin mo, antagal ko nang naisubmit iyung article tapos ngayon lang nila ibabalik for revisions! Fuck. Ang hirap gawin nung article na inassign nila tapos ganun pa gagawin nila. Nakakainis at nakakaiyak. May efforts are wasted. Anyway, I have still two good employers who are REALLY GOOD to me. They pay quite well and would give assignments na kumpleto ang detalye and they would give you enough time to do the articles. Kaya I am not recommending new writers to apply at essays.ph. Sayang lang ang effort niyo. Masyado lang kayo maiistress. Kaasar talaga. Mamamatay din sila. You’re right. A lot of companies based in the Philippines pay their writers at a very dismal rate.

That is yet another good example why the prices are going down for freelance article writing gigs. Anyhow, thanks for the correction. I've already changed what I wrote. :) Your story is just a concrete example of how things are going for writers.

I used to work in advertising as a copywriter. I did freelance gigs in between full time work. The last time I did this was about ten years ago now and I was earning £600.00 per day back then. (Advertising pays the most when it comes to writing.) However, I got bored with advertising so tried my hand at other forms of writing. I got paid £10.00 for 100 words for writing features for a local freesheet - that sadly came to an end when the editor was removed. Since then I have kept an eye out for on-line writing gigs but, as you say, they all pay stupidly low rates. It is, in part, due to the internet. Companies can now get writers in countries where the cost of living is much lower, which forces down the price for everyone.

I also do pass on some projects pero I try not to give a lower price. Kasi I think that it's my fault I was not able to do the project and it is the other person who is going to do all the hard work. So there. But yeah. To each his own. Thanks for dropping by Homar. I also do pass on some projects pero I try not to give a lower price.
