FROM MY HEART TO ALL FREELANCE WRITERS (NEVER ACCEPT CENTS FOR 100 WORDS)

It seems the art and craft of writing is being undermined by the people who want articles, contents and blog posts. Sometimes because of economic hardships, many freelancers are forced to take up some jobs that cannot even afford an internet bundle and keep up their livelihoods running. Many employers on Freelance writing sites are doing great for themselves appreciating the craft of writing and giving people great money for their enormous contribution.
On the other hand, there are some people who have seen the vulnerability associated with Freelancers, Freelancers should not in any way just apply for jobs and they should in no way accept projects for less than $1 per 100 words. This is a courtesy call for the art and craft of writing because intellectual property is one of the things that should be given credence and writers should do all they can to reject such proposals.
Most of the employers who normally place $0.25 per 100 words and $1 per 500 words most often times might be legit but most of them are middlemen who just go out there get the topics send it to innocent and creative freelancers, they get paid $10-$20 and they give you $1 for the article. This is disheartening as many people are relying on these monies to be able to do something great.
Writers, writers and writers, please, please and please, our creativity should be matched, creativity should be matched with better remuneration. No matter where you are, writers should accept $4 for 500 words and up because thinking, writing and typing is a three in one adventure. Don’t and don’t sell your creativity cheap. Writing is the greatest asset you have as it helps us become better people in planning.
