Writing Jobs: The Truth Behind The Money

Have you heard a lot of people earning tons and tons of money by writing on the web? Hmmm, it’s freaking everybody out especially those who have been doing online job and yet they are stuck with earning about $50-$100 a month.

I am going to share something to you that will really make your mind bubbles! This is a trade secret that not every other people out in the Internet know! So here it goes…

First, it’s all about cheap rate and volume. If you are going to compete with native English speakers or the Indians and you don't have superb English skills, then you have to go with cheap rate and volume. What good a $10 per article is? If you it takes ages for 1 article to be approve and it only happen once in a blue moon? Yes, 1 article is $10 is quite big and all you need to write is 10 articles to get $100 but you can get the same amount if write 50 articles in $100, rate $2 per article. Good news is client will be more willing to pay you $100 in one go and he gets 50 articles out of it.

You put yourself within the client’s shoes. For sure, you will be more willing to pay a writer who is willing to write 50 articles for $100 compared to getting 10 articles at $10 rate, right? You get more out of your money. This is the principle that has been swirling around the minds of those Internet marketers and web developers. The more, the merrier as they say!

Second is getting more clients to earn more money. How about if you earn $100 from one client, and another $100 from another client? What about 10 clients? You will have a whooping $1,000 in 1 month. However, you need to write 500 articles in 1 month. Can you keep up with the volume?

This is where the third secret comes into the picture. Outsourcing! Yes, you outsource your projects to writers who are willing to write at $1 or $0.75 per article. Be very weary though, you might end up getting crappy articles from newbie writers. It’s either you write the big volume of articles or outsource it to countries like India and Philippines. The choice is all up to you!

Writing is such a lucrative job if you do it the freelance way! You get tons and tons of clients left and right and you will get more money out of it. You will never get more money if you are hired by one client and you are bound to write 10 articles a day for 6 days a week and paid $250 monthly. You do the math, you will definitely get more if you have 10 clients compare to one client.

Why 500 Bucks?Why not?!

500 bucks? Why not... Especially for Asian countries such as the Philippines and India who have been competing with each other right on the different bidding sites, 500 bucks is already a sufficient amount to live a decent life and a little luxury here and there.

Say for example, a call center agent in the Philippines on entry level earns about 12,000-15,00php a month. Just a safe estimate $1=$48, that said agent is earning about $250-$312.50 a month. Take note, these agents might have transportation allowance...however, they too would have additional expenses like food and clothing especially when working graveyard shift inside an office with the aircon in full blast.

Graveyard shift around 10pm-7am. Not the type of working hours most people would want to work in. The body clock changed and it has a great effect on one's health as well.

A bank teller? As I have gathered from my friends who are working in banks, a teller... roughly about 8,000-10,000php in a month. Working hours? 8am-5pm. Less the expenses on transportation, food, clothing, taxes, and other deductions... a whooping 5,000php more or less as the net pay.

This is the real score for the working individuals in the Philippines, particularly in Cebu City.

Where does the 500 bucks come in? Right at the comforts of one's home who has a good conditioned computer and a stable internet connection.

$500 or 24,000php, to my safe estimate is the salary of a manager of bank (here in Cebu). But how many managers are there in a specific branch of a bank? Only one! But with jobs online, everybody who has a talent or skill that can be outsourced can earn what a manager of a bank will earn. 24,000php is already net. No more deductions and the most important part? You are your own boss! You own your time and nobody is dictating you on what to do.

500 bucks? An amount that so little for Westerners yet big enough for Asians to have a decent life.
