Today I have something special to share with you. I am constantly getting emails from people who like me are fed up with the state of bidding websites. I’m sure you are familiar with the scenario that seems to be invading the bididng websites – 500 words articles for $1. It’s totally ridiculous and I personally feel like setting up a campaign against this. I mean come on, even beginners should get no less than $2 per 100 words, that’s $10 for a 500 word article. I reckon that if all us ghostwriters and freelancer writers including those just starting out joined together and refused to accept anything less than $2 per 100 words, then these buyers would soon realise that you have to pay to have content written. That’s just my opinion but what do you think?
On to what I was saying before I rambled off topic. I am constantly getting emails from people wondering how to find high paying and even average paying ghostwriting jobs. I respond to each email I get but thought I should share the information with my readers too.
[ad#post-ads]So today I spent some time creating a free report for you. This report is only 7 pages long but in it I have put one of the simple methods I use for finding more ghostwriting and freelance writing jobs. I have also included screenshots to show exactly what I am talking about.
This report is my gift to you and a way to help you find more work. I value your readership and if I can help you in anyway you only have to ask. There is an abundance of work for ghostwriters and freelance writers a like and if sharing some of my methods for finding paid writing work with you helps then I am happy to do so.
So please go ahead and download your free gift. If you find it useful pass it on to a friend, stumble or digg this post, or even tell your friends on facebook or twitter. The more we can let others know that there is an alternative to those ridiculous $1 500 word articles the better. I want to see the bidding websites return to what they were back in 2004. When bidding on a job meant getting what you were worth. I never got less than $2 per 100 words even when I was just starting out.
It’s time to take a stand, let all us writers unite, and let people know that our services are worth a lot more than $1.
Until next time,
Keep writing.
P.S. Apologies for my little rant, I just get so frustrated when I hear of people being taken for granted.

Great post! Some very hard hitting points in that article. I too had to settle for atrocious rates when I started out. Now I dont go to bidding sites at all because its a futile exercise. I am trying to promote my services instead. I get better gigs.
“I reckon that if all us ghostwriters and freelancer writers including those just starting out joined together and refused to accept anything less than $2 per 100 words, then these buyers would soon realise that you have to pay to have content written.” – That point deserves a clap!
Hang in there buddy.
Cheers,
