Cheap Article Writers: The New Breed of Writer

Many think that article writing is an easy job, and they pay as if this were so. Writers that have any talent at all have usually had a good amount of schooling under their belt. It seems that many times the writers today have become expendable because of the freelance market. Cheap article writers have become the norm.

You do not have to be educated in the art of writing to be a freelance article writer anymore. As long as you can put a sentence together that makes sense, and you have decent punctuation, you are a writer. You can work writing articles for websites and e-zines. The pay is not great, but then you did not pay to be educated in that specific occupation anyways.

If you are a well educated writer, this gig might not be for you. The pay is lousy, and the work is often time consuming and hurried. Everything needs to be done right away, which leaves little time for in-depth research or to get too creative. You must have quality content, and make sure that the keywords are used enough within the article.

It has been said that you get what you pay for, but in the world of Internet article writing this is not always so. Many very educated and talented writers work for pennies just so that they can compete with other writers that can afford to work for that type of pay. Many writers are from high poverty countries who can afford to get paid only 5-10 dollars a day. This is not a feasible pay rate for writers in the United States or Canada.

How can professional writers compete in that type of market? A few bucks for one well researched and written article of 500 words is not much. How many articles a day would you have to do in order to make a living? Would the quality be what you would like it to be? The answer is probably not. Rushed work usually is not of the best quality.

You have college educated writers that do Internet article writing on the side to supplement their income from whatever job that they may currently have. Some do it for the love of writing, others because they have no other outlet for this talent. Quality and skill should be paid for no matter the forum.

You would not find a doctor who would drop their pay rate to do surgery. Granted writing is not surgery, but the skills that a writer has are learned in college just like the surgeon. I would not want to pay a doctor based on quality of work, who would want a low quality doctor? Nobody would use one. Writers are however expendable in today's world.

People should be paid according to skill set, talent, education, as well as other aspects according to their specific occupation. Good writers should be paid for good writing. Educated writers should be paid for their education. The scary thing for writers is how fast that the freelance writer is invading other writing markets. The low pay is something that many are looking at while quality is expected; it is not strictly monitored especially in the website writing market.
