WARNING about Palladous the freelance writing company

Palladous is literally the worst freelance writing company I have ever come across. They pay you slave wages, literally like $3 an hour, and expect extremely high quality writing and if they aren't exactly happy with your writing, they will send it back for multiple fussy revisions. For example, they will pay you 6 dollars for a 400 word article. So it will take between 30 to 60 minutes to write the article, including the research for it. Then they'll send it back for one or two or even three revisions, so writing one article ends up taking 2 hours. Palladous thus pays you $3 dollars an hour. My strong warning is do not even waste your time with this worthless trashy company. Palladous is a SCAM!

THIS is why we need strong labor laws in America and in the UK (where the company is based). There are currently no laws regarding minimum wage requirements for freelance work. In other words, if someone hires you for a freelance job, there is no legal requirement that they pay you minimum wage.

But I guess I'm "entitled" because I don't want to work for $3 dollars an hour?

 

Cool story, figure out how to make a website and benefit directly from that. Or put yourself up on IM forums and sell your skills. No one is forcing $3/hour, I've seen writers making 20-30$/hr doing mainly copy writing and sales/front page writing.

 

3$ an hour is actually pretty good, venezuela and philipines work for 1$ or less, i can get indian freelancers at 10$ for 10hrs

 

As wih any business of that nature you need to be independant and develop your own way to freelance yourself into high quality high paying private work through person to person sharing and not going through a big giant company that wants to rip people off for profit. You might as well work a normal slavery job if you call this freelancing.

Its hard to freelance anything that there is a market for, you have to be good and earn respect.
