Content Farms

I like the idea of a broker between myself and a client -- especially if it's a client I might never have had a chance to meet without that middleman pitching work for themselves and for me by extension.

I do think it gets a little absurd when clients think it's possible to buy a blog post that is well written, interesting and typo free for a few dollars. You do get what you pay for in life.

One plus of the content farms is being able to roam free on the farm, only pick up the work you want to write, and with luck, find a few clients who are willing to pay more competitive prices for your work through direct orders.

In most cases, direct orders come from taking one of the open orders, doing a bang up job on it and impressing the client enough they are willing to spend more money for you and your writing.

If I feel all the work has dried up, I go to my farms and pull out an open order to do with the hope I may be rewarded with a direct order in the future. It works frequently and because of that I don't mind sharing fees with the word broker at all.
