What, precisely, is supposed to be the draw? At least they're honest, I suppose. Good gravy…how sad is that the job site in question actually lists “LOW-PAYING FREELANCE WRITING JOBS” as a category?

That would be 15 a week. A lot less than you'd usually get for one measly, tiny print article. One can't expect a french four course meal including desert, cheese and digestif and pay like the McDonalds. Plus: Also expected to write some PR-stuff about products/people you'd never have written about on your own accord. Silly offer. Five dollar? That would be 15 a week.

I wouldn't even turn on my computer for such a small sum. They don't seem to appreciate good witty writing. “$5 a post”?? I wouldn’t even turn on my computer for such a small sum.
