These days the internet and in particular affiliate marketing make a mockery of my profession. Articles are in constant demand for affiliate websites and a 500 word article costs about $6-10 from one of the writing sweat shops that are around.

Complaints are rife about the quality of the writing and the lack of knowledge about search engine optimisation.

Well you get what you pay for, monkeys for peanuts.

So as you may have gathered there’s no point in asking me to write for a pittance like that. My fees are $25 per hour and 1 article is 1 hour regardless of its length.

In fact I am considering dropping out of the web content market, if I had to rely on that I ‘d be better off working in a bar.
