DotWriter.com Pays Pennies

So, there's another writing opportunity out there for freelancers. It's called DotWriter.com. You craft unique and useful articles, and you get paid. At least this is the idea. Let's take a closer look at how DotWriter works, and find out whether or not this article sale site is worth your time and effort as a writer.

As a writer, you can sign up for a free account. According to DotWriter.com, you submit an original article, and the site/editor has to approve the article so it can be posted on the website for sale. This way potential buyers can view the article and see if they want to purchase it.

What about the pay? Well, you can sell your articles for one cent per word. Therefore if you write a 750-word article, it will by listed on DotWriter.com for $7.50. The buyers are never charged any additional fees. However, the writer has to pay DotWriter 20% of each sale. In other words, you only get $6 for that 750-word article. Hmm...

It's wise to do the math before you get involved with a web content dealer like DotWriter.com. How much is your time and expertise worth? Can you really imagine writing a 1,000-word article, and only making $8. That's absurd! As far as I can tell, DotWriter is another content mill that plans to make all the money, while you do all of the work. No thanks!

If you have the expertise, it makes more sense to sell your articles and blog posts to clients that pay real wages. Market yourself on writer forums, Linkedin, and freelance writing websites. If you prefer to sell articles that you already have written, try a website like ArticleSale.com, so you can dictate the price, and you make all of the profit.

Realistically you're never going to make much money through websites like DotWriter. These sites only devalue your skill set and leave you broke and frustrated. Furthermore, if you by chance acquire long-term clients via dotwriter.com, they will expect you to write for them at the absurd rate of one cent per word.
