Exposure, waste of time, or worse?
At this point, I’m hoping writers know they should get paid. And that free exposure online isn’t all that valuable, unless you’re posting on a high-traffic site with a great reputation.
If you don’t keep that in mind, you could waste a lot of time writing for websites that offer little in the way of either pay or exposure. Often, you don’t even get good clips out of it. You’re just spinning your wheels as a freelance writer, going nowhere.
Some of the scams out there could even damage your reputation if you get involved.
One day this week, I got three offers to sign up with writer website platforms in a single day.
I usually just hit “delete” right away, but I decided to check them out. I discovered there are many flavors of ripoffs and scams going on out there right now.
Let’s take a look.
