Pardon my rant. I am a professional, degree-bearing, experienced writer. I am offering (as are many competitors) 500 words for $5, which is 1 penny per word, and slave wages. This is okay. It's my gig, and I offer it of my own free will, and I do it happily and well. Maybe it should not, but it really gets under my skin when I see buyers requesting 1000, 2000, 5000 words for $5... AND SEVERAL OFFERS BEING MADE ON THOSE REQUESTS. Who in their right mind will write this much for $5? It is insulting that anyone would even request a person to write more than 500 words for $5, but these buyer requests are laughable. Yet, they are receiving MULTIPLE offers. The same goes for proofreading gigs. Okay, end of rant. :)
