I was just looking at some of the freelance websites where you bid on a job and hope you get it. I'm kind of annoyed by them. It seems to me that people will bid down to $.01 per hour for work. That ruins it for everyone. Do you not place any value on yourself for time? Freelance work is a real career that people have been using for years to make income from creativity. To go to these websites makes me sick anymore, because it's not right that a very skilled person will get bypassed because someone decided they will do it for only $.01. Maybe they should leave those $.01 jobs to sites such as MyLot where it's just extra income.

Mine too, specifically my shower tile, which seems almost impossible to get clean!

There are many places that will pay you more than .01$ per hour. I cannot think if someone is paying that low. I guess with so many people out there as writers is the reason why sites are lowering their pay. Added to it is the falling value of US$. You should be writing elsewhere. Try out guru.com, getafreelancer.com, gofreelance.com. If you add me as a friend or give your e-mail, I could give more ideas.

Thank you for those sites! I especially like Guru because I have a background in Marketing and there are a lot of Marketing freelance jobs on there as well. I added you as a friend.

Hi deem,
My brother is a free lance writer. He is a content writer as a matter of fact and he makes more money than .01 $ a hour.
I dont know what site u r talking about but its certainly not paying enough.
Cheers,
Tutul
