of course writing is a very lucrative way to make money but the problem now is that it is very competitive. There are people who are even ready to write 1000 words articles for $3. I've seen that on sproutgigs.
You can get paid $25 for writing 500 words, I have seen it happen severally. I said earlier that your niche and the website/company determines how much money you get paid.
Try to provide authentic information. Forbes and Business Insider will pay you hundreds of dollars for a single piece. Does this mean you will be able to make hundreds of dollars by writing articles?
I think it is always better if you stick to the level you know. Have you checked top rated guys on Upwork, Have you seen the amount they charge per 500 words?..
I have been upto $60 for an article on Upwork. I understand what you are trying to say, but I believe you did not understand what I was trying to say. Just because someone is earning high amount does not mean this kind of payment is accessible to everyone.
You are the one who is not understanding me, I specifically stated the amount you would be paid depends largely on the niche you are writing on, and also how professional you are in your writing.
Let's be realistic. Earning well is not only dependent on how skilled you are. If you go to freelancer sites, you will see freelancers from tier-one countries earn better than tier 3 countries for the same kind of work
Yes, Earning well doesn't depend solely on how skilled you are, It also depends on your niche. Which freelancing website is that?. At least, I am familiar with Upwork very well and I know it is not like that on Upwork.
Are you active on Upwork, have you ever worked on Uopwork? technically, the platform does not discriminate against people based on location, but employers will always pay less to Africans and Asians compared to Europeans and North Americans.
Yes, I have worked on Upwork and I am still active on it. Employers do not pay less to Africans except you don't know what you are doing. When there is a gig, You are free to bid at any price you think you deserve.
Maybe you don't have that kind of bad experience, however, I have a pretty bad experience on freelance sites. I have been [paid less just because I am not a native. Despite having a good number of positive ratings, I was being rejected too much.
Ohhh, So sorry about that. Did this happened on Upwork? Or other freelancing website? Getting paid less because of your nationality is discrimination and It is a disgusting act. Yes, I know it is possible to get rejected if you are from Africa.
Yeah, writing your own content is so much better than ghostwriting. You get known as a writer and you get to choose a niche that you focus on. Once you get known for your work, there will be many opportunities awaiting. You could even be published by newspapers.
Probably, once you are able to reach some certain level you will probably be recognised when you focus on a particular niche. There are a lot of people that have achieved success through writing on their blogs.
THis has happened to me on multiple platforms. If you have been working online for a long time, and if you come from low tier countries, you will surely face situations like the ones I mentioned.
