Thanks, Jodee —
nothing for me today, but one I answered last week paid me handsomely for an all-day gig on Monday! All because of you!!!
Hi Jodee! Thanks for the leads as always! In the past few weeks, I’ve noticed quite a few interesting freelance gigs in Canada, but as a US citizen, I’ve always assumed I wasn’t elligible to apply. Has anyone from the US done freelance work for a Canadian company or vice versa? Thanks so much!
@Kate – I have worked for a Canadian company. They mailed checks to me every two weeks and I had no problem with them. Another company instructed me that they would only pay me if I sent them my banking account number and routing number, so I bowed out. I couldn’t find enough on that company to verify they were legit.
Right now, I have a client in Spain and three in the U.S., and I’ve never had a problem with my international clients.
@Ann- Thanks so much for your help. I always assumed you had to have some sort of visa to do work for a foreign company, but I guess this doesn’t apply to freelancers? That’s great to know!
Remember that job for a writer and blogger everyone was asking about yesterday? I told you the editor was a friend of mine and it was a legitimate job? Well my editor friend took out another ad today because he received a very nasty email about yesterday’s ad.
What do you think? Was the person who wrote the mean letter fair? (This person has sent me several nasty notes in the past, by the way, so it’s a habit for him). Should people really send notes likes this? I hear from employers all the time who received nasty letters from writers. I think our time can be put to more productive use, don’t you?
I was asked to give this “open” letter a quick proof as my editor friend was very upset over this. Though I suggested the tone in his original ad was a bit arrogant, I don’t think there was anything vague or scammy about the ad. I did tone down the open letter as it was coming off as a rant and made him look a bit unhinged.
I offered to post the link to his “open letter” here for discussion as well.
Here’s the link. I did save the text in case it’s flagged.

Interesting a free trial, nice way to advertise something eh? *sigh*
Well, the letter back kind of feeds into the letter sent to your friend to begin with. Though I understand that people are nasty, I know I have gotten a few letters with people saying really nasty things. Most of the time when I look at a job if I don’t like it, I won’t apply for it. The one I did recently, yes I was annoyed and posted what he had said in what looked like a form email and a way to advertise something.
An explanation of what the ad meant again in my view would have helped more than feeding into that person’s anger who apparently had more issues than not just liking the job. But like I said, I can understand his frustration when receiving something like that.
@Deb – I’ve just had my morning laugh! The last night about no pay for Michael Allen because he whines too much cracked me up!
I’m part Irish and one of the biggest complainers I know. With that in mind, I would NEVER complain to a potential employer. First, they do chat with one another. Second, you never know what one job may bring down the line.
I took a job a month or so ago that only paid 3 cents per word, and I know right now those like Michael Allen are gasping, but you know what, the job was easy and that brought me a paycheck of about $20 per hour, more than my husband makes in this area after 30 years on the job with a college degree. While someone in say California might laugh at that hourly rate, around here it is awesome. Better yet, the company pays on time every week without issue.
Anyway, that job that started at 3 cents per word is about to turn full-time with a new budget and pay rates. The biggest responsibility is that I’ll be responsible for hiring another three writers to help me out in the next few weeks. So all the comments I read on these boards, I keep track of names of the complainers and can guarantee that if the job I soon offer piques their interest, I most likely would bypass them just because I’ve seen their attitude on these boards.
@Kate
I am canadian and NONE of my contracts are! I write for companies in the US and England. When responding to an ad, if I am unsure if they are looking for international writers, I always let them know I’m from Canada in my cover letter.
@Deb
Your friend has every right to be upset and offended by the verbal attack. I actually applied for one of those positions and am crossing my fingers.
Responses like that by people like Michael are ruining it for those of us trying to earn honest wages. And besides, it’s just plain mean. I think there is enough crap going on without needing to attack people through emails. especially when there is nothing shady about the ad.
Re: Writer/Blogger Ad & Nasty Letters
I only commented on his ad here because someone else had wondered about it – once Deb said it was a legitimate job it cleared up the issue for me. I didn’t bother applying because I didn’t think he would have liked my comment! I figure I shot myself in the foot with that mild criticism, so what the people who write nasty letters think they are doing is completely beyond me.
They can’t be working, that much is obvious! For the record I *always* flag CL posts that dig at job posters, unless they are in response to a job posting advertising a non-intern, non-paying position erroneously. I even flag the ones that are protesting unpaid gigs, if it is clearly stated in the ad. I encourage everyone on here to do the same thing to keep job posters from getting turned off and just going somewhere where we can’t apply for their jobs.
I think that there should be a “Freelance Writers Creed” that we all sign or something, which covers codes of conduct. I’ve got a few starts here:
1. I will not write nasty letters to potential employers, or post them on CL. If I have a problem with a job ad I will not apply.
2. I will not accept ridiculous wages, such as $2.50 per 400 word article.
3. I will help my fellow writers with their problems if they need it and ask for it.
4. I will worship Deb for building and maintaining this site.
That’s all I’ve got, I’m sure we can turn this into something constructive.
Thanks for today’s list, Jodee! I’ve landed a couple website content gigs in the last week due to your leads. Thanks!
And about these back-and-forth letters: it’s all a bit petty, isn’t it? To be honest, the original ad didn’t strike me as offensive or even odd in any way. I think it would have been best for this ad poster to just let the nasties roll off his back. That’s what a professional would do.
I do agree on the pettiness. I didn’t recommend posting an open letter, but I also know how upsetting it is to receive emails like this and want to defend one’s self.
@Kate:
What Colleen said. I am Canadian and all of my clients are in the US. They send me cheques (oh sorry, checks!) and I deposit them to a US$ account at my Canadian bank. Do US banks let you deposit money in foreign currencies? That would be my only concern, unless you are being paid by PayPal.
@Angela: I’m on board for your creed–just tell me where to sign up!
@Jodee: Thanks for the leads and for the inspiration!
I actually applied for that blogger job . . . I didn`t see anything wrong with the original (missed the whole debate). It sounded to me like someone who was just jaded from too many people ignoring simple instructions. And I really don`t understand why not having “SEO” included would be an issue, if the person isn`t interested in SEO, why worry?
Really hoping I`ll get that one, too, because it looks like a great job.
I agree with Genesis. I applied for that position and was quite happy that he was very clear on his expectations. I don’t mind giving a rate quote and don’t see why anyone here is against doing that. The practice is widely used – you get a quote from the pool people, contractors working on your house, lawn maintenance, and so on. So why is it a big deal for writers to do the same? No one says you have to low ball, offer what you’re worth and if the employer doesn’t like it, then move on. It’s really that simple.
In terms of the open letter, hehehe. I laughed! Good for your friend, Deb!
re: the Writer/Blogger Ad
I saw it when it originally went up as well as the discussion here. It wasn’t a warm fuzzy ad but I didn’t find it necessarily off-putting – possibly because I’ve been on the other side so many times. As someone who has placed ads for many types of recruitment efforts and had to deal with the result – usually a few solid leads drowning in a sea of utterly unrelated and often very sloppy response, the ad sounded to me like someone who had gotten a TON of responses that weren’t relevant to the ad or – as he says – didn’t follow directions. Goodness knows, I’ve seen a lot worse on Craigslist.
As for the response from Mr. Allen – even if the ad had been 10x worse, what was the point of sending that note? Type it out, by all means, if it makes you feel better but why hit send? I type and delete all the time to get things “out of my system.” What a petty way to waste time that would be better spent being otherwise productive. Someone needs to get out more. Or try some decaf.
@ Deb:
Here are my comments about your friend’s original ad based on 20 years for freelancing and answering writer wanted posts. Please understand that I do not think sending a nasty note to the prospective employer is ever useful or appropriate. However, I can understand why posters might question the validity of the ad.
Just reading the ad without any additional information, I would never have applied for it. Reason?
1. Do not send a resume. Write a cover letter instead outlining your experience. My take: Resumes exist to give an employer a quick overview of your experience to see if there is a possible match between writer and job opening. Why wouldn’t a legit employer want a resume? What does the employer gain by making me regurgitate resume information in paragraph form? To me that is a major red flag suggesting that the job is not a legitimate one.
2. Pay rate – .06/word-$100. My take: I can’t imagine a legit employer having such a wide rate range. Couple that with the request for a rate quote the comment “Compensation: $5 – $100 you tell me. I just put this in because Craigslist told me I have to.” and that is a huge red flag for me suggesting that the poster is either bottom fishing for the lowest rate or that this is one of those sign up to review a site type non-jobs or something similar disguised as a job to generate responses.
3. The I already hire a dozen bloggers and they are happy and have negotiated good rates comments. My take: If this is true, the prospective employer should a) already know what the going rate for blogger in his sphere of interest is and not fool around with the ridiculous rate range/rate quote thing and b) The repetition of “They’re all very happy and we negotiated a very good rate for each based on their quotes.” Then “All the people who work for us are very happy. They have a nice gig and they feel they’re paid well.” within three sentences.
This may be true, but why so much self-justification? It sounds a lot like an ad I’ve responded to that produced a job so unrealistic that it hires a revolving door of writers (That job claimed to generate $20/hour for the writer and sounded great until you found out that what they required was impossible to perform in a time frame that generated anything close to $20/hour, but the employer kept emphasizing in their ad how happy their other writers were, even though the ad runs at least one a week on a dozen or more sites).
Taken alone, these “happy” comments aren’t a red flag, but in the context of the rate comments and general tone, they would be a caution for me.
3. Tone. Its fine to emphasize following directions and to state that people who respond without following directions will not be considered. It’s the side comments that are aggressive and abrasive. My take: The tone to me says Stay away from this guy. He’s going to be trouble to work for and make trouble about paying. This is a client who thinks writers should be grateful he is offering them the opportunity to work and who has a very low tolerance for frustration. I don’t need people like that in my life.
Understand that this is just one writer’s gut response to the ad and an explanation of why I am turned off by it and would never respond. Others will have different reactions. But generally, I think this kind of ad posting turns off experienced, professional writers and bloggers.
Deb,
Wow. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Wouldn’t it have been better to have written a letter saying that the ad was unclear, and Mr. Allen was looking for clarification? That way, maybe he would have established contact with the person, and possibly gotten a step closer to the job? Sure, we’ve all gotten testy with some ads, but the world is a very small place. Getting a rep as a pain in the butt never helped anyone. When you start sending these notes, then you know you’ve lost your grip and need to find a better way to cope.
The lesson here is that this site provides an important outlet for us to discuss such gripes — and not send them inappropriately to others.
Wow, that responce to the original ad was harsh and unjustified. Professionally, it seems like sending something like that to ANY employer is basically shooting yourself in the foot. I assume everyone I’ve worked for has some sort of secretive way to discuss my work ethic and quality with each other and any employer I seek to work with in the future. lol
I LOVED the original ad! I was thrilled to have something so direct. I am a complete instruction follower… Type A to the core. Having a step-by-step layout made applying for the job a total peice of cake, and I didn’t have to wonder later if I “should’ve sent this or that.” I knew I had supplied him with exactly what he needed. That’s a GREAT feeling and more job posters should follow in his footsteps.
Thanks for the words of encouragement!
I think you are right about suggesting that we apply for lower paying jobs, not too low of course. I am trying to just apply apply apply for anything that interests me because in the long run, and the short, I’d prefer to be doing work that interests me and that I enjoy than a job that seems to pay well but I just don’t like doing.
Thanks!
@Tish – I hear what you’re saying. I wouldn’t word an ad that way, though I do understand his frustration. I get the red flags. If you didn’t like the ad though, wouldn’t you move on? Why send a nasty note? That’s the part I don’t get.
And for those who think Mr. Allen shot himself in the foot, I doubt it. I seriously doubt he (or she) uses his real name. He’s emailed hugs and kisses to me several times in the past, plus he’s posted using different names in the comments. So I doubt he’s sending nastygrams under his real name.
At least he’s smart enough to cover his tracks.
I read the ad and found nothing offensive. The ad poster said what the poster was and was not looking for clearly. The thing about the cover letter I’m assuming is to scan quickly to ferret out potentials and non-potentials. A cover letter is not usually more than one page as opposed to someone’s resume where it can be two or three pages long or even longer. That’s what I heard/read about cover letters anyways. I don’t use one yet.
And sending nasty emails can come back and bite you in the butt somehow.
Jodee, I think [I hope] I have a fighting chance with the Bureau of National Affairs job, so I’m applying. Thanks for the lead.
@Deb:
Of course I would just move on and not respond to any ad that bothered me. Sending the poster a nasty note is silly, immature, and isn’t going to change the behavior of the ad poster. I’m a professional. I behave professionally, which is one reason why I use my real name on my posts. I don’t even think the original ad was offensive – abrasive and aggressive but not offensive. The object of my post was to analyze it from the point of view of an experienced writer looking for work who has to sort through lots and lots of spam ads. If the poster is frustrated by betting tons of inappropriate responses, he should keep the other side in mind. Writers get frustrated putting time into responding to ads for jobs that aren’t as advertised or don’t exist. Ads on the Web don’t always convey the meaning and tone the writer intended, but professional-sounding ads are more likely to attract professional writers.
@Tish – We’re in agreement. By the way, I don’t post, comment or write anything in a name other than my own either. I understand why some people use pen names, I don’t feel the need.
I agree with others that sending the nasty note was an unnecessary waste of time. At first glance I thought maybe he didn’t really need work anyway and didn’t have much to lose. But then why is he scouring through job leads to begin with. I assume he didn’t use his real name, but who knows.
I thought the original ad was a little off-putting, but I simply clicked the back button on the browser and life was back to normal–not sure that spending my time drafting a nasty response is ever worth doing. The only time I’ve ever really considered it is for those advertisement “jobs” that just want you to sign up for their website–I mean come on, I’m out here just trying to make a living and you’re going to waste my time just to drive up hits to your site and your mailing list. Shameful.
My favorite part about the letter is that in preaching about learning how to write he makes a large omission typo in “Do you even what SEO is?” Pretty sure you needed to throw a “know” in there. That’s just embarrassing.
On the other hand, I’d recommend that your friend take this open letter down though. It definitely looks unprofessional and petty. In phrasing the ad the way he did, he should have had some expectations of possible negative responses and just hit the delete button. That’s my two cents anyway.
Sorry one last thing I will add is that although I would not send a letter like Mr. Allen’s myself I can understand the place he’s coming from. As freelancers searching for leads we have to put up with a lot of BS–the non-paying or low-paying gigs, the website sign-ups, the super vague ads, the jobs that you really like that you never hear anything back from, the jobs that you have to write a 500 word sample just to never hear back from, and so on. Perhaps after all this, feeling like you’re being talked down to in an ad could be a last straw.
I just found this site a few days ago, but I must tell you I am super impressed with all of the leads that are here every day. I used to find work at another site (the one that sent the “free trial” response from the job posting on craigslist) but they started charging membership fees, so I began doing the Craigslist hunt on my own EVERY day. I know how grueling that can be, so I want to thank you guys for keeping this website updated and saving my time.
My real reason for posting is that I seem to have issues with actually getting jobs. I have tons of experience and always send (in my opinion) professional sounding cover letters following the application rules of the listings. If they want resumes or samples, I include those too. Somehow, though, I rarely get responses. Can anyone help me? I’ve been doing freelance work for about a year now, and everyone I’ve worked for says my work is stellar. So it must be something in my marketing of myself, but I don’t know how or where. I’d appreciate any comments/thoughts/suggestions that anyone has! Thanks!
You guys are most welcome for the leads! It’s wonderful to hear that you are getting hired for things that are posted here.
Now about “that” ad: Maybe I just get into the “zone” when I’m looking at ads, but if it isn’t a good fit, then I just move on. I would never send a nastygram to a potential employer. It’s just wrong. And having been on the receiving end of a few of them, why would I do that to someone else? I didn’t find the ad offensive, just direct.
I can understand why this employer would take out his own ad – you just want to say something back sometimes. The ad just lets that person know that his comments weren’t appreciated, as I’m sure they were not.
@ Jenn: Glad you like what you have seen here so far!
Applying for jobs is partially a numbers game. The more jobs you apply for, the more you will get. If you follow the directions in the ad and present yourself in a professional manner, then you are way ahead of most applicants. Just keep trying.
@Jenn – It could be how you market yourself, but it may just be the averages, too. I only get a response to about 1 in 10 applications, and land the job in about 1 in 20. That’s just my experience, though.
Okay, I haven’t been applying a lot lately because I’m trying to be super focused on my niche (I really hate that word for some reason – it’s like fingers on a chalk board). But my niche (screeeeeeech) happens to be Green Living so I applied. And actually, I LIKED the ad. “This is what I want. This is what I don’t. Don’t waste my time, please.”
What’s wrong with that? I can only imagine the dregs that employers need to trudge through to find the people who apply who can follow directions and are qualified. With everyone and their mother trying to be a freelance writer because “it’s easy money and you can work from home and have all the free time in the world, too” there are bound to be dozens of unqualified applicants.
Seriously people, at the top of your monitor screen there is a little red X. If you don’t like what you are seeing. Use it. A nasty note is not going to change anyone’s mind. But it is going to tick me off, because now instead of focusing on my well-written, perfect application
, the employer is focused on dealing with this.
@Jodee & Shawn: Thanks you guys for the comments. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one sending out ten or fifteen applications to either hear nothing, or only get one response. I thought perhaps it was something I was doing, which would be much nicer because it could be rectified and my chances might be better. However, I’ll take your guys’ comments. It’s not what I wanted to hear (we all want it to be a better outlook, I’m sure), but it’s better than sitting here wondering why I can’t find jobs.
Thanks again!
@the rude letter issue… I just read that posting, and laughed. Good for him for posting a response to the imbicile who felt necessary to post. I’ve ran into many people who post responses to ads on Craigslist criticizing them for either their ad, their pay rates, or something else they did “wrong” in their job posting, instead of just moving on to a listing that better suits their needs. We all know how cheap some companies can be, and with companies in other countries doing articles for $1 a piece, some people might not realize the value of our time. However, if I read a listing to a traditional job, say at McDonald’s, I wouldn’t write the McDonald’s corporation and tell them that $7 is not a good pay rate to flip burgers. It’s not professional, and completely unnecessary.
@Robin: I applied for this position too, and am also slightly annoyed that my response was probably set aside so that he could deal with this stupidity. Grr.
The ad did come off a little rude, but you could tell he was tired of wasting his time going through hundreds of responses. As far as Michael P. Allen
I am sure he is tired of going through hundreds of responses and wasting his time. Michael P. Allen’s response was unprofessional and pathetic. I think he needs to increase his daily masturbatory habits to relieve that bottled up anger.
@Christine- Your comment just made my day. Hillarious.
And, by the way, I concur.
Thanks KateN. I didn’t mean to post twice, but earlier I was working on a desktop computer and switched to my laptop to post the comment and the keys are very sensitive. So oops. Sometimes you just look at the keys and they move.
HI,
I didn’t find the ad vague at all, which is why I wrote to her. I will admit to writing an angry letter to a poster who said things that translated to, “I won’t pay you, why should I, it’s just writing not brain surgery…” , most of the time though, if I feel the ad is not to my liking, I skip it.
I fear Mr Allen is suffering from acute Writer Frustration.
The ad was honest, to the point and very aptly described what she was looking for, so his reaction seems a bit knee jerk.
What I do feel is truly frustrating to most writers, and I am sure you can relate, is to reply to an ad that is vague and get a nasty reply in regards to the fact that you were not what they were looking for.
It’s hard on both sides, but we need to respect one another in the process.
HELP!! I just got an e-mail from one of my regular clients, but he has a totally random project. Wants me to compile his ideas into a movie synopsis to market to different outlets. He asked me what I’d charge… what would I charge? I can’t even find going rates on this type of work. Can anyone help me?
Sheesh! Some people just have no manners these days! Oh, and most are also incapable of following any kind of directions, and extremely over sensitive about their ‘talent’. Harsh? Please send your hate mail responses to… iwouldratherwritehatemailthanconstructivework@moaningminnie.com
Have to add that in a ‘misery-loves-company’ way the debate actually made me feel better about a misunderstanding I had today with a client. While I was on holiday she completely misunderstood some copy on my website and rather than thinking rationally, and working it out with me, she flew off the handle and took some rather petty and bitter action. Sometimes, you will just never win, but at least an unwarranted bit of nastiness will let you see someone in their true light and help you to steer clear of them in all future dealings.
My rule? Sigh, move on, and be thankful that I have one less moron to deal with!
As other have said, maybe I wouldn’t have written the ad *quite* in that way, but I didn’t see anything specifically wrong with it or any reason for a nasty response. To each his own…and more work for the rest of us as these crankypants, self-righteous troublemakers systematically eliminate themselves from every possible writing venue.
I found the open letter quite valuable, though, specifically for this little gem: “Perhaps the issue isn’t with my ability to write an ad, but rather your inability to read one.” It’s a good reminder for all of us to (1) leave the attitude at the door when we start working, (2) follow the directions, (3) make sure we followed the directions, and (4) ask ourselves again, “Did I follow the directions?”
Some job posters may be clueless and others may be sketchballs, but that doesn’t mean we have to take it personally or become clueless sketchballs ourselves because of how we react. Job opps we don’t like aren’t specifically engineered to piss us off, but if you’re already feeling cranky and maybe a little panicked because your workflow is tapering off, it’s easy to get your nose out of joint… I think we’ve all been there, even though most of us don’t hit “send.”
@Jenn (and anyone else, for that matter), if you want to talk privately, I’d be happy to see if I can offer some suggestions for your job hunting. There’s a contact page on my blog with my info. It’s probably just a numbers game, but who knows, maybe a fresh pair of eyes will improve your results.
kk
Open letter from the job poster was funny. I wouldn’t have done that, but hey. Can’t say I haven’t been tempted. After seeing the crap responses some writers have given when I’ve posted jobs, I can understand the frustration from someone who posts ads regularly. Luckily, I don’t have to do that anymore.
Thanks, great job links, Jodee.
I see there is one based in SA as well.
@Deb – I think the editor sounded a little too personal in the ad but maybe he wanted to sound approachable with people who work for him. Sending a nasty letter back, not so cool. Boy, is that going to come back to haunt Mr. Allen one day.
