You Will Get What You Will Pay For

In my content writing career, I have seen lots of people who pay pennies but expect to get high quality work. This will not only be derogatory to the writers, but will also show negative impact on the growth of content writing field. This condition is seen with most of the sub contractors. Few people take up high paying projects but they will just outsource the project to some others. For instance, if a person is getting 5 USD from client, he will outsource the work to some other person who is willing to write at 3 USD. He will in turn outsource the work to other writer who will work at 1 USD. In that way, the payment or compensation will get reduced through this hierarchy and the end writer who actually writes the article will be paid nothing but pennies. That is the reason why I am anti to such system. I encourage giving due respect and pay rates to writers who have real stuff and dedication.

If you are looking to outsource a project, make sure that the project will not get sub outsourced further. You can take care that the end writer is not some 5th or 6th person, but is just 2nd or 3rd person. This will enable you to get good quality and to make the writer feel that he gets right compensation. But when you are paying too less, keep in mind that you will get the same quality of work in return. But I don't say that you shouldn't pay less. You can pay less, but only when the pay rates are suitable to the work you allot. I always make sure that all writers in my team feel good about their pay rates and also about the respect they get for their work.
