How is this legal? In what state does this payment equal minimum wage?
Take a deep breath, John. We’re freelancers.
We’re not bound to those “higher” standards and can work for free if we want.
@ John H – You mean you can’t write an interesting 1500-word article of excellent quality in an hour? Geez, what’s wrong with you?
Krista, I’m not sure what’s wrong with me. Perhaps you know someone who will diagnose me for $15/hour. Of course, the $15 can’t include “questions or clarifications” or the required follow-up visit. Also, I pay by PayPal, so the healthcare professional won’t actually get the full $15/hour.
I want an experienced professional with subject expertise: someone who can hit the bullseye on the first try. Please refer candidates who can provide 3 testimonials between 400 and 1500 words. Thanks.
Matt, I hope your eyebrows are arched and your tongue is in your cheek. I quiver when I’m asked to work for exposure. Why aren’t lawyers and janitors asked to do that.
Deb, I hope you got paid for this posting.
@John H. lol I hope you realize I was totally joking. $15 for 1,500 words is beyond ridiculous.
