That's some really good advice @Sherb . I'll be checking out the marketplace myself. Last week I browsed around there. It's good to know that people here are willing to pay a writer's worth. Hoping to land some gigs soon; sounds like a gold mine if you really put your mind to it!

Hehe...yea their faces are terrifying. Cats just make some strange faces in general...I guess that's what I personally found funny. Have you ever seen the compilation of cats being afraid of a cucumber?..It's amazingly funny. I guess the cats think that the cucumber is a snake or something.

I was on Upwork this past weekend and submitted a proposal for several writing tasks that I have the experience for, but only one person contacted me. I sent him the links to my previous work and never heard from him again. I mean, it was mind boggling. I don't have ratings on there yet so I...

How is it disturbing? LOL

Too cute and funny!...I own two tuxedo kittens. Cats do some of the weirdest/funniest things! Gotta love them!

Jeez...that's the same exact thing I was just thinking. This story sounds all too familiar and will be on the front of a "certain popular email homepage." It's not uncommon these days.

Not really, I'm not really sure of a good way to approach people other than negotiating rates depending on how desperately you need the work. I can honestly say I am right there with you at the moment though. I have even contacted a few potential clients from on here or through messenger apps...

The minute I realize a buyer is flaky or funny acting I add them to the block list because I have read up on how they can and will screw you over for crap like if you don't accept their offers. Once they are on the block list they cant bid from or buy any of your listings (which I'm sure most...

Yes, they are high. I have been selling on there for the past like 3 months and right now I am in a bind with money which has caused me to realize that at this point in time it's really not worth selling on eBay. Was talking to my SO the other day about this and he was saying selling on eBay is...

Sakil, yea it really doesn't hurt to do cold emailing either; sometimes you really do have to reach out to potential clients versus waiting for them to come to you.

I agree, and out of all of the other places that I have researched to fine article writing gigs this forums seems to be the best. I used to use Digital Point. Had been a member since 2008 but they made a lot of changes a few years back; got rid of iTrader, etc. and it ran a bunch of people off...

Not only that, but it's also a very competitive site from what I've heard. From what I've noticed everyone jumps on the easiest jobs making it harder for newbies to get their experience in.

You're completely right, I just tried applying with them a few days ago on an account I never finished two years ago and they denied it. Sucks, because about 4 years ago I had built up my clientele until I started working a full time job. Now I am in need of some side money and I had tried to...

I can confirm that I just had the same issue 2 days ago when trying to complete a profile for Upwork. Also Textbroker apparently takes 15 days to approve an account and I'm not sure what the reason behind this is. Honestly I have been sending emails to previous clients that I had maybe 3-4 years...

I agree that rewritten content is basically the same as originally written articles. Unless you write an article straight from your own personal knowledge I would not consider there to be any difference between a researched article and a re-written article.
