MOST of the offers are low paying, regardless of your feedback rating. You will be competing with writers (often from India) who will do anything for a $3/hour job.

If you want to be competitive, you’ll be bidding very low. The key thing to remember is that a large percentage of the buyers don’t care about quality–only quantity. So, the fact that many of these writers are struggling with English as a second language, won’t necessarily work to your benefit.

If you can find a client who will be fair and will send regular work, that’s the key. They are out there, but it can take time to find those people.
