They leverage people's need to work, on that sort of romanticism that writing still releases, on the charm of online work: 3 ingredients that push many young and old to respond to those adverts. “Do you like writing?”. And who doesn't like it? The bait is thrown into the great sea of the internet and sooner or later some web vessel takes the bait and that's it. Writing 1000 word articles for 3 euros is not apprenticeship We all have to work our way up : but working our way up doesn't mean working for free or almost, because you don't do anything with those 3 euros. If they are invoiced – and they are – you have less than two and a half left. Here's how much you actually work for by agreeing to write 1000 word articles for 3 euros.
Starting from the bottom, writing for work, only means having a few clients at the beginning, and perhaps even occasional ones, with discontinuous commissions and no continuous relationships. Underpaying a person means exploiting them, trampling on their dignity and breaking the law. How much does a 1000 word article cost? Much. There are Special Data price lists on the web, but to tell the truth I found them more abroad than in Italy. But does a writing fee schedule make sense ? In my opinion no. What I have always done is forced myself not to go below a certain amount per editorial portfolio . If you pay me little, I work badly and unwillingly. Writing articles for a company blog involves extra work compared to simply drafting the text: study of the sector, research for ideas and analysis of competitors, documentation, interview/email exchange with the customer, etc.
Otherwise what do you write? You can't invent it. Should all this be done for free? If yes, why? There are people online who ask for 1000 euros for an hour of telephone consultancy. From one excess to another. How long does it take to write a 1000 word article? Much. It can take up to 3 hours or more. If I employ even just 2 (if the topic is simple), it means that I worked for just over a euro an hour, excluding taxes: does this seem convenient to you? Decent? Right? No, it's just shameful. Has the person creating those ads ever written a 1000 word article? Surely not. But full-bodied content, long articles, are tempting because they work (if well written). What is hidden behind these (shameful) job offers? Think of an investment of 300 euros: with this minimal expense a company takes home, or rather into its blog, 100 articles of 1000 words. She publishes 4 per month, with 300 euros she has secured 2 years of content for her blog , with an investment of 12 euros per month. She doesn't even notice.
