The $4 Article Buyer
We’ve all seen the ads - “Writer wanted; write 20 original articles for ($2, $3, $4) each. Will be checked for plagersim.”
Carson Brackney, creator of Content Done Better and the Content Done Better Blog arranged an interview with one of the folks who offer these prices.
Now I’d like to see an interview, or do one myself, with a couple of the writers who are willing to work for these prices… maybe one in India and one here in the United States.
BTW, Carson, who is also a member of our forum, makes some cogent comments after the interview… and I agree with all of them. Go read the interview, it’s worth the time.
Write well and often,

[…] A couple of days ago I wrote The $4 Article Buyer which linked to Carson Brackney’s interview with a fellow in India who buys articles for four bucks or less. Mike Sieber commented, admitting he writes for this rate, more or less. I emailed him and he agreed to an email interview. Btw, Mike has a decent website and a blog and he is a pretty good writer.
