    I need 1000+ articles per month. All have to be a minimum of 300 words long, 100% unique, and have fantastic English. I can only afford to pay a maximum of $1.50 per article.

    I need articles on: forex, pets, poker, music. PM a sample of your work if you are interested in working at these rates. Thanks

    If you cannot afford to pay to have the articles done , please dont insult us with these low rates

    the rates you offer are only attractive to non Native English speakers pretending to be native
    With that rate you should not be demanding on quality, you should be willing to accept semi ok articles.
    Unique? Sure but Native English no way.
    you get what you pay for

    I am 100% sure you are not using these articles yourself
    you are reselling them at a rate per word which is probably double what you are offering to pay the writers

    the board does not need "middlemen" or resellers, or article writing services
    There are plenty of qualified writers here to fill the need for articles

    and you are using these articles on your own blogs? Nope
    you are reselling them

    we dont need people competing against us charging what we charge then offering to have us type their articles
    for half the going rate

    how does that help the board?

    I do use them on my own blogs, thanks very much.

    I've tried to be as clear as possible (even in the title) to save people like you wasting their time, but it seems you're on a one-man crusade to make content more expensive. If I could afford more then I would, believe me, but given that I don't have limitless funds, please just let me (and anyone happy to work at these rates) get on with it.

    Lets see 1000 articles per month at 1.50 per article is 1500 dollars per month on content

    and you are saying "thats all I can afford"

    I'm guessing you have no work to do because you charge too much for your content? Please stop spamming this thread.

    1c per word is a standard rate on the board

    but I guess you cannot afford that rate for quality content

    so you stick with the low quality content, hey more power to you

    You're wrong. I'm a non-native English speaker with a good command of English who finds these rates outrageous. ;)

    I find the whole 2.50 per article club a bit strange
    I know a decent writer like most of us simply cannot afford to work for that rate

    Now if you gave me 20 articles per day, ? still that would burn me out too quickly and I guarantee those wanting to pay this are even more demanding on quality than the clients we normally service , so how anyone DECENT works for this? I cannot see that happening

    But there is a persistent wave of posters who insist "this is all they can afford" to pay

    Well some of them are resellers, many of them are
    They sell articles for 4 bucks an article and they pay their writers 2 bucks , so they figure hey thats a good "business"

    Heck even the writers who post their services on the board saying they WILL work for that rate, 90% of them
    they cannot even string together a coherent advertisement for themselves without making gross errors in context.

    Fact is you cannot PRETEND to be a Native English speaker. If English is not your Native language and you have not spoken it all your life , even if you MAJORED in English in College, it does you no good. You must speak English at home, read newspapers in English, pick up on on the slang terminology, You cannot FAKE being a Native English speaker. But there are 100s of members on the board attempting to do this. They actually think that people cannot tell they are not a Native speaker. I have even seen some trying to charge 1c, 1.5c per word,
    which, hey if you can get it? More power to you.

    I am tired of seeing threads like this each and every day. We either have scammers looking to get free content or we have people trying to get high quality content at substandard prices so that they can resell it.

    There has to be some type of solution that we all can come to. Something has to give. People like the original poster have to pay a fair wage or take substandard content. Even though there is a Cheap Stuff forum, maybe we need a separate forum just for those that want dirt cheap content. The only other way is to drum these people out by exposing them.

    Now, I personally find the offer a disgrace. And I am almost sure that there have already been some responses via PM from people that aren't native speakers trying to get this job. But I am curious about how serious the original poster is. A quick review of his profile shows a lot of positive feedback. This is unlike most of the scammers that have only a few posts and no feedback. The poster could have just bought an existing DigitalPoint account or he could be legit. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and offer my services.

    And before anyone says that I am not a native English speaker, I will say this. I'm 36 and was born and raised in Philadelphia. English is my primary language but I also speak Russian and French. I am only offering my services to see how serious this guy really is. Outwest77, I appreciate people that are trying to look out for everyone, but we can't just assume the worst about every cheapskate looking for a half price article. He could be a guy just starting out, trying to fill his blogs with content. I have been there but I was fortunate enough to be able to write my own content.

    However this turns out, I will update this thread with the final result.

    Just to update this thread a little, I sent a pm to the original poster offering my services and my terms. It has been almost 24 hours without a response. It would be a lie if I said that I expected a response because I didn't. But it gives us a name to add to our own personal lists of people that aren't serious. I don't know if anyone else keeps a list, but I certainly do.

    Another article reseller. I'm fed up with such people. They look like vultures to me.

    wow, lots of hate for the OP here....

    the problem isn't people like OP who are buying low priced content, the problem is the people who are selling their content at stupid prices. if they stopped selling, buyers would be forced to pay reasonable prices.

    for what it's worth, I did some work for the OP about a year ago, and he paid quickly. I haven't done any work with him since, because I can't lower my rate to his level for any prolonged period (I needed quick cash when I worked for him before) but just wanted to let people know that he is genuine.
