• is this how outsourcing goes?

     I got a lot of crap to unload on people who post stuff like this:

    Looking for full-time web content writers

    Full time (home-based) – minimum of one month contract

    8 articles a day with two days off each week (500 words per article or equivalent) – P15,000 / month

    5 articles a day with two days off each week (500 words per article or equivalent) – P10,000 / month

    Requirements:

    1. Must follow web content writing standards (a guide will be provided)
    2. Must meet everyday deadlines (will be agreed upon)
    3. Excellent writing skills / unique writing style
    4. Has excellent online research skills / resourceful
    5. Must be able to proofread his/her own work before submitting
    6. Must not plagiarize, in any way

    Please send resume and sample work via..

    Geez. 2 days off? OMIGAD! OMIGAD I’m hyperventilating…

    Cmon! P80-90 per article? Do you know how much work is involved in writing an article that is 500 words and more (especially ones you don’t like to write about..?) Those articles aren’t plagiarized (as whoever you are has stated), everything is original and you’ll pay crap for them? Whoever posted this deserves crappy articles taken from spammy blogs everywhere.

    Unless this is the way outsourcing goes.

    What a sad day for writers everywhere.
