Fulfilled freelance photography ambitions. - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso studioD

Very good management. No micromanaging

Sometimes the shifts you get aren’t the best but you’ll get that working anywhere

-Work from home That's about it. When articles are plentiful, it's a good source of income. But articles haven't been plentiful for years.

-Article availability: Demand broke every category into separate sections they require writers to apply to individually. This greatly decreased the amount of available work. Furthermore, they've lost many of their partners and clients, leaving very few (none for months, at times) articles, most of which are rewriting old and outdated/inaccurate eHow titles. -They Expect Too Much, then ignore qualifications they require: Most sections require a degree or years of experience in a related field. IE- Some kind of tech degree for the tech section. Yet even though you must be a qualified expert to write for a section, they still require a reference for literally every statement, fact, process or instruction. What's the point of the experience or degree if every statement is treated, by default, like the writer doesn't know what they're talking about? -Low pay for the amount of work involved: $25 an article may seem like a good rate, but between doing the required amount of research, finding and claiming titles that actually make sense, adhering to their strict, ever-changing guidelines and the Russian Roulette of an editing process (one editor may approve where another would ask for a full rewrite), it typically takes well over an hour to claim, research and write an article. May be good pay compared to other content mills and work for novice writers, but anyone with DMS-level qualifications and experience could probably do a lot better than DMS.
