I Took a $7/Hour Freelance Writing Job. Here’s What I Learned.

Last year, I took a $7 per hour writing job from a company I’d never heard of, and that I found through a random post on social media. I ended up as a low-level ghostwriter and <a href="https://medium.com/the-bald-writer/how-i-make-3-600-a-month-as-a-human-content-spinner-392f1945935d" rel="noopener">human content spinner</a>, churning out blog posts on tight deadlines for way less than minimum wage. At first glance, that makes no sense. I’m a professional photographer with a successful photo agency, as well as a portfolio of niche websites. When I consult, I charge up to $125 per hour. So why did I take this lower-than-entry-level job? Like many niche site owners, I’ve hired content agencies to write articles for my blogs, paying as little as $25-$50 per article. These agencies, I always assumed, must farm out my content requests to an army of low-paid freelancers. But I’ve always wondered, “Who are these people?” What is their day-to-day like? And is there anything we can learn from them and their employers’ processes? To find out, I decided to dive in firsthand and accept the lowest-paid content writing job I could find. What I discovered surprised me — and destroyed my trust in web content. <h2>Getting the Job</h2> To find my $7 per hour writing job, I turned to a variety of online sources — LinkedIn, Upwork, and other popular gig work platforms. I ended up finding my specific job through a social media post. It offered paid blogging work from a company I’d never heard of. I couldn’t find anything about the company online. There were few details about what the job would involve. <a href="https://diylifetech.com/i-took-a-7-hour-freelance-writing-job-heres-what-i-learned-2bc1ef448108">Click Here</a>
