$7.50 for 500 words, No Kidding!
September 6, 2007 – 9:23 amThe other day, I saw an advertiser seeking a finance/money blogger to write a review of his website and he is paying $7.50 only but expecting a minimum of 500 words. No kidding! It was taken up but I wonder if it will be completed. Yes, it is possible to write 500 words but not for $7.50, not especially when it is on a niche blog.
There have been numerous times when I have written double the word count than expected by the advertisers but then I write if I like to, and not because I was trying to meet the minimum requirements set by the advertisers. When it comes to giving out jobs to bloggers, most people will tell you that they prefer to write a 50 word piece at a cheaper payout than a 300 word piece with a slightly higher payout. But that doe not mean that bloggers will turn in a 51 word piece because most of us can write at least 150 - 200 words way exceeding the 50 word minimum.
But if there is a minimum of 300 words, that would surely turn off lots of people.
