what do you think about writing articles of 500 words for $1? is it worth it? why am I asking you this? because I am doing this kind of stuff and does not really satisfy me. I mean, it is a lot of work to do if you consider all the researches and, in the end, you get just few bucks. it is good as I did not find anything better out there, but I want to know your honest opinion: should I stop and look for something else, or it is a good think and I do not know to appreciate it enough?

Absolutely not, just doing the research is time consuming and writing an article from scratch is considerably hard work. If I'm in your position I will not accept it, 500 words ranges from $3.00 up. Even if it is rewriting an article, $1.00 way too low.

In the beginning I tried that but there are much better paying companies that hire newbie. Textbroker or Wordgigs (you will have to leave your email address and they will contact you when they are hiring) will pay a few dollars an article and they are easy to get on with. There are hire paying ones like Break Studios, Bright Hub and Demand Studios. I belong to all of these and make a couple of extra a month. I do know there are people online making much more than that too but I am home with a two year old. I hope this helps.

I think it is good in some way for it forces you to write whole articles and this will improve your writing skills and thus get prepared for a better paid writing job in the future. I think any experience is worthy in some way. Good luck with you!

Hi magdafloasiu
I think it would be better if you leave that work because they are paying very less and I think it is a waste of time, instead of doing that you can work for the one who pays the best, never do the work which is not interesting to you and you have to strain yourself for just a few bucks. Start searching for something else which satisfies you.Have a nice day.

do you in fact get approved because I tried with such thing and it still says pending but more than a week passed from then so I don't think I will receive something.I am not sure if they may put me as denied or something because of mistakes but it says pending and not even denied.
