I can earn more per hour at BlogMutt than I do teaching, for which I have a degree!

Not quite sure I understand all the vitriol toward BlogMutt.

First, is $8 a post really that low considering that each post is only 300 words? I agree with those above who say you can do 2 or 3 or 4 posts in an hour at that small size. That’s at or above $25 bucks an hour, which is way more than I’m making at my current job. Sure, you probably won’t spend 8 hours a day doing BlogMutt articles, but still, it’s a decent rate for something you’re doing on the side for extra cash.

Secondly, if new writers keep that attitude of this being an “on the side” job, and hold realistic expectations (that this is just some extra cash, not necessarily a launch into a new career field) then what’s wrong with it? At the very least, if it feels unrewarding, there is absolutely no obligation to continue doing it.

Heck, $25-ish bucks an hour any time I can squeeze in some extra writing time? I’ll take that.

Well said Nicole! All these sniffy comments about pay. For goodness sake people, wake up…..it’s a slow economy out there. It’s not as though poor old Bloggmutt has concentration camps of writers shackled to desks. It’s a free market economy. I think Bloggmutt is doing a great job, they have identified a need and are filling that need. Over time they may be able to raise their rates and reward their best talent (they know if they don’t the talent will learn and leave – this is the same in any industry), they are a young company trying to grow and they don’t need to read such nonsense as I have read above. Have any of you ever worked in the hospitality industry?? Well go and have a look at that…do you think their crappy pay can be easily changed? Not as easily as you would think. Keep blogging Blogmutt and let them snivel away.

As a Blogmutt writer myself, many of these comments are uninformed. I can write anywhere from 2-4 posts an hour when I concentrate my writing on Blogmutt only. There are a few customers for whom the subject matter is easy enough (and fun enough) that I can write more than that. Blogmutt has provided me an incredible opportunity to get paid to learn the industry without having to go to school for SEO in order to do it. I now have my own content writing business with my own local clients. I am growing steadily. I continue to write for Blogmutt because it fills in the gaps and it’s fun. So, before you judge, you should try it out for yourselves. Oh, and Blogmutt doesn’t accept everyone. There is a writing test you must pass and if your writing isn’t up to par, you are let go. The standards are pretty high.

You realize that getting $8 for 300 words is almost 3 cents a word. That’s not really so very hideous, my friends.

We think it’s fine when a young kid starts out working at McDonald’s, so why not a young person who loves to write start out with Blogmutt? It gives them an opportunity to polish up their skills and be doing what they like. It’s also great for stay-at-home moms, shut-ins, invalids, or old-timers for making a little extra money. Writing comes out of the brain (and sometimes the heart), and unless you’ve got alzheimers, anyone with writing skills, can continue to write. Blogmutt fits the bill for them! I think they provide a necessary service.

Here’s an interesting article by a freelance person just on this subject.

This is actually pretty high for freelance job. I checked it out and the posts are only 300 words. So think of it this way, you write three posts an hour that’s 24$. Not too shabby. At least not compared to other writing services like Textbroker where you can buy posts for less than 10$. How much do you think those writers are making?

I would like to know if there is a way to post short stories, and ongoing episodes for a story online and that it gets legitimate copyright on a site. I want to avoid sending my material to get copyright each time I make an update to my stories. The bottom line is that I want to enjoy getting online feedback and not get stolen from..

If the buyer is not happy with the post, he should give his comments to the writer, who should then revise accordingly. To simply reject the first draft and not pay means the writing is working on spec.
