Competition is high out there, there are several web-sites that offer free publishing to produce articles that later get sold to other companies who need material for their sites. There are also companies that pay between three dollars to a hundred for articles, blogs, surveys and other forms of writing.

Most of this companies have a free sign up system and anybody can create an account to begin working on writing. As one can imagine, the content undergoes screening to prove its value and if the article piece gets approved and sold the writer gets paid.

The publishing companies do all the work of calling possible customers and promoting their websites to drive traffic and possibly sell content. They also make money by posting ads on the pages where content appears.

The job of the publishing company is to drive traffic, keep the website running, acquire the desirable software needed to build a successful site and figure out what possible customers need in terms of story types, key words and key phrases, article length and prize among other things.

You can find large companies who write the content themselves. These companies also offer advertisement, produce key word and key phrase campaigns along with content, and care for other Internet maintenance tasks they need to keep their web-sites going.

They usually charge very high depending on the amount of work their customers request from them, I know of three companies that offer work bids of two thousand dollars for five pages of two hundred and fifty words each and double that for double the words on each page of content. Another company's price ranges between five thousand dollars and ten thousand dollars for their work.

These my friends is the world of mass made content, and as you see some companies are overlooking the hard work of writers to concentrate on their material gain. I tried some of the companies who pay for article writing, the negative side is that most of these websites only pay if the writer has reached a set dollar amount. Others only pay top dollar if the article is either of a certain amount of words and or has being viewed and bought by somebody.

The problem with the last statement is that if the company has a thousand writers and high quantities of content to promote traffic reaches writer's and their product only a few times a day or a week, therefore selling their product becomes a miracle, a miracle that only pays three dollars an article.

The Internet houses a little bunch of serious writers who have the meme "quality work at a fair price". They know their value and the value of the content they write. They work all the aspects of their trade and web-sites, they hire extra writers usually paying them a fair and higher dollar amount than those I told you about before, and more importantly they are fair and careful with customer's money and brand name while working hard to make a proper dollar amount which is never as high as those mentioned before, their work justifies the price and price justifies work quality. Support these writers and say no to abuse of power.
