www.inkthinkerblog.com — Qualifications: “You must have a minimum of 10 years experience in the publishing field.”
Pay: “$15.00-$20.00 per hour to start — merit raises are possible if work is impeccable and timely. ”
I’m sorry, but if someone has 10 years of experience in the publishing field, do you really think they’re going to be jumping at $20/hour? Give me a break.

how does that give us a bad name?
Craig
craig@craigslist.org
Call me skeptical, but I find it doubtful that this is Craigslist Craig, but I’ll play.
In and of itself, it doesn’t. But in the context of this blog and the ongoing debate among freelancers as to whether Craigslist is a great source for paying work or a complete waste of time, this tends to give points to the “waste of time” side of the argument.
I still champion for CL and find a ton of work there, but this is definitely one of those ads that make experienced freelancers roll their eyes in disgust.

i don’t think it’s just CL, it’s just companies that think they can outsource to writers like they’re producing Nike shoes in a third-world country!
I agree, Kristen. This is actually a small fortune compared to all the $2 article ads out there. It takes me about 30 minutes to write a minimally researched, well-written article, so $20/hour sure beats $4/hour. But you can be sure I won’t be rushing to apply for this oppotunity either!
