That means it's time to look at yet another content mill and see if I've had any more luck with that one.
And the answer's no.
This time I'm looking at iWriter which has a pay rate that makes other sites look positively generous. In fairness, you can work your way up the ranks to a place where you'll be able to earn more money and you can also take assignments directly from clients, which should earn you more.
Regardless, entering at Standard level, which you will, provides a rock-bottom earning rate of barely more than 0.5 cents a word.
I've been offered plenty of jobs by iWriter, so it doesn't suffer from the major flaw that Crowd Content and Zerys did. However, the vagueness of the assignments in Copify has tended to be replicated here.
But the main obstacle I've encountered with iWriter has been the extraordinarily high rejection rate by the clients. So far today, iWriter has offered me three jobs. One of them was by a client with a 52% rejection rate, another by a client with a 28% rejection rate - and the third by a client with a walloping great big 80% rejection rate.
Needless to say, I'm not even going to bother trying to write an article if it has that high a chance of being rejected. This is especially true if the brief is so vague that it's anyone's guess what the client even wants you to write about.
Overall, I'd say iWriter isn't totally without some sort of hope. There's certainly plenty of work to be had and it's not generally demanding work. However, the initial low pay rates and the high rejection rate means you have to go into it with the view that you're there to get experience and with a strong eye on getting promoted through the ranks as fast as you can.
If you'd like to sign up with iWriter you can do so via this affiliate link, which will make a modest sum of money for me if you do so.
