Educated and skilled article writers are becoming a rare breed in some areas of the writing market. The worry is that this will spread to other areas of the writing market. “Cheap article writers wanted” is an ad that you see all too often anymore on the Internet.

There are great writers and there are good writers. In the freelance world they are looked at as fairly equal, and are paid as such. Indeed in the world of the Internet and new websites popping up every day, article writers are in high demand, for a cheap price.

People will work for this rate because they have to compete for jobs with people who can afford to live off of these low wages. People from low economy countries who can live on a few dollars a day will take all the cheap article writing jobs that they can get. When you live in an industrialized nation where the economy is so expensive to live, it is not a fair wage.

Freelance writing is becoming increasingly popular. There are numerous websites that are being made each day and they all need to have content, and marketing. This is where the need for freelance writers is the highest. It is also one of the lowest paid jobs.

Yes it is true, as an Internet article writer you are expected to do research, have good spelling, grammar, and writing skills, and be able to write creative and interesting content for 1 or 2 bucks and article. There are many good freelance writers with education and talent, but the jobs in the higher paid publication markets are harder to come by.

The cheap article writers make a living by quickly pushing out articles. The quality is not closely monitored. In the world outside of the Internet a writer can make good money either as a staff writer or a freelance writer. Will this continue or will the trend of the cheap article writer catch on in the real world as well?

If one is a good writer and can deliver quality content then they should be paid for what those skills are worth. That is the problem though, quality is not as strictly adhered to anymore as long as the content is readable and makes a fair amount of sense, and the key words are in there, then that is acceptable.

This is a good benefit for people that are not formally educated in the art of writing, and it also is helpful for new businesses that are starting up websites that do not yet have the money to hire professional marketing firms to advertise their websites. This is a way that they can get content for their websites and marketing at a cheap price.. Is he life of a writer doomed to a future of being paid a penny per word?
