The Content Authority is Hiring Freelance Writers

I recently heard that the Content Authority is hiring freelance writers again. I've seen many writers jump at the chance to writer there, so I thought I'd post some facts about the site so that writers can make an infomed decision before putting in their application.

First, writers are payed in tiers:

Tier 1 Rate pays $0.007 per word  Tier 2 Rate  pays  $0.01 per word  Tier 3 Rate  pays  $0.015  per word  Tier 4 Rate  pays  $0.030  per word  Rewrites pay only $0.005 per word 

Plus, the site says, "You must have a minimum of $25.00 of approved articles in your account to be paid for the week." At less than a penny for each word, it would take a long time to accumulate $25. Let's see, for a 500 word article, you would make only $3.50. So, assuming they accepted every article, it would take a little more than seven articles just to get paid. 

According to some who write there, the site's editors are incredibly picky and reject articles quite a bit. There's a good chance you could write over a dozen articles before reaching payout. 

Beginners, let me tell you, YOU CAN AND SHOULD DO BETTER.
