@R2; check your mail box.

I usually get shocked when I hear that people are writing three feature articles every day...continuously.

That makes it seem as if writing is easy. I have been writing for EA's largest circulation publications for over a decade...currently on a weekly feature plus other ad-hoc assignments. Now it takes me about half a day to do the weekly 500-word piece and after that I feel so drained that I cannot write any more.

So when I hear that some one does three features per day every day,I really want to read the kind of articles they write. So far,none of the people offering this kind of deal has ever given me samples of what they do!

I am of the opinion that they must be very poor quality material or extensively plagiarised....and I shall hold that view until one them sends me their writing samples!

So,R2,before I send you my samples (and reveal my true identity to you),send me yours and I will judge whether you are worth my effort.

Na sio maringo!

I have a reputation to protect and will not write for any publication that shows up on my door!

Mukiha is back......thumbs up!!!!

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

@Mukiha - thanks - you are the voice of reason. If someone simply wants words on a page - and to pay a pittance for them - he/she is highly likely to get plagiarised work or very inferior output (like we sometimes see in Buzz and Pulse - utter rubbish - then again,maybe I am not in the target demographic for those pull outs).....I gave the rates to help R2 be more transparent and for anyone wanting to venture further,to know what parameters to operate within and not get exploited - we also need to raise the bar as journalism is largely a poorly paid occupation in Kenya. Writing is not a joke - esp in an age where people can hardly compile a CV let alone an application letter.....don't get me started on spelling and malapropisms which we see everyday on SK

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

Thanks Mukiha,will talk to him.

God is good

@ Mukiha first off,I am sure you cannot read. Because if you can,you would not have missed this sentence from my post 'These are not newspaper styled articles'. I am not a media house! I am not into journalism! I DO NOT WANT NEWSPAPER / MAGAZINE ARTICLES!

Secondly,I am not scoffing at the figures @ Djinn stated.


During my one year as a writer,I have come across employers who Pay $ 1 / word. Take out your calculator and do the math. And to ice the cake,they pay for their writers to visit exotic places just to write articles on those places. I am thinking if you are as good as you say you are ...

Anyway,back to me,I am creating jobs,not 80K / month jobs,but jobs all the same. My challenge to Djinn was for him to make available 1 or 2 80K jobs,to back up his claims. I am also extending the same challenge to you.


You were quick to let it be known how much you make in a week - KES. 5000 -,how about creating just 2 jobs,like I am doing?

BTW,I only make a fraction of you make plus I do not have industry connections like you do. But unlike you,I can create unlimited kazi kwa vijana opportunities,albeit with a slightly better pay.
How about you with all your connections and industry reputation?

@ aemathenge I will do you one better. How about I sell you my work? www.interneteasymoney.com. It's my e-commerce web site complete with a merchant account,shopping cart etc. But I am certain,just like @ mukiha,you are all talk,no action. Bure kabisa.



Deal or no Deal?
