Last year, when I started out as writer/blogger-I took many low paying jobs. Why? To build up a history and resume. However, I am slowly raising my rates and working on up. However, even then I wouldn’t take under a dollar for over 100 word article.

How do you feel about such low paying gigs? Do you think they are worth your time or not? I personally do not, I mean its fine if you are staring up-but at one point you got to raise your price. And some rates are should never be excepted no matter what. You will never get anywhere with under a dollar per article.

While some people will not hire you if they think your pay rate is too high. However, you can always offer 3 pay options and say that you are willing to discusse with them how much they offer to pay you. That doesn’t mean you should accept too low rates. Would you work at McDonalds for $0.10 per hour? No, treat this like a job.

How do you feel about low paying jobs?
