I would love to work for oDesk again for all the reasons that have been mentioned as benefits. I can't though. I still come back in between real paying work in my day but ...well things don't look to be changing.
Until I canceled my updates on jobs, my inbox filled with daily updates that would make anyone cry.
I am not a "researcher" though I do it well, because it is required for what I do. I am not a copy paste or data entry candidate.Those tend to be low paying jobs here at oDesk.
I have tested out with exceptional scores in my areas of expertise and even hide my highest scores to display those. I have excellent feedback on the projects I have accepted here.
I suggest that the people posting the figures above subscribe to copywriters, technical writers, and creative writers updates for a week.
Then PLEASE come back and say pay rates are rising and that project offers by buyers are not too low on oDesk and sinking not rising.
My typical offering in my mailbox from oDesk was:
Writer needed to write my book for me. I will supply an outline you need to construct the plot twists, the dialogue the characters and move the story forward. It will be a full length book and perfect English grammar, editing skills, spelling, and punctuation required. Must be talented and committed. Budget $100.00
Need 20 - 750 word articles, must be perfect native-English speaker must be able to proof your own work with no grammar punctuation or syntax errors. Must be able to research obscure topics. Must pass copyscape. Budget $10.00
Need skilled writers, must be native-English speakers. Must have skills in editing, copy writing, research, and knowledge of our obscure market you fill in that blank. No application will be accepted without a 500 word sample on this micro-niche of our obscure niche. We will start you at $2.50 an hour and if you work out a raise may be arranged.
And so on. If rates are rising or staying stable,well you do the math.
Eventually I began to feel as if I were on a dark corner in the bad side of town listening to people whisper "hey Mister wanna buy..?". It's that sleazy feeling.
Like I said....I would love to but no actual native-English speaker can, not with any talent or skills.
