Freelance Writers — $5 Per 400- to 500-Word Article
And I got this job through Craigslist just this May. The only minus-point is that the workload is not that much.
But the good thing is, in this new project I earn in just two to three days what I’ve been earning in 6 days in the project I’ve been doing for the past 18 months. Also, the new project does not have a lot of specifications and keywords, and it has prospects of increased workload.
Fellow Pinoy freelance writers have been asking others to accept only writing jobs for not less than $5 per article of 500 words, in order to improve Pinoy writing rates in general. But it has not been easy finding these clients that really send the payments.
A lot of freelance writing jobs on Craigslist are bargain-priced. Imagine getting paid for one dollar (that’s only 46 pesos!) for a 400-word original, researched article? And others even require the articles to be ready for spinning or with some other attached tasks!
Lastly, I’m thankful that I found a client that didn’t scam me. Recently, a fellow freelance writer wrote a lot of articles for a certain website, which suddenly disappeared, and which didn’t pay him. He got the client through Craigslist.
By the way, this is part of the screenshot of my advance Paypal payment for the first 15 articles.
Tuition Fees at Adamson University
Last school year, Adamson University didn’t increase its tuition fees. For this school year 2010-2011, the university has decided to increase its tuition fees by 9 percent.
Nevertheless, Adamson officials insist the rate of increase was among the lowest compared to increases in other universities and that the new tuition fee levels are among the lowest in Metro Manila.
Indeed, Adamson has among the lowest tuition fees in Metro Manila, one of the factors we considered in choosing the school for my daughter. It was also very near the house of my sister-in-law.
I would have liked my daughter to continue studying at nearby TUP for economic reasons, but sadly, TUP does not approve course shifting, which my daughter had to do because of health reasons.
The tuition fee for the first semester of BS in Accounting (29 units) at Adamson is almost 33,000 pesos. If paid in cash, the discount is 5 percent. For installment payments, the initial payment is 5,000 pesos. The rest — three payments of 9,200 plus — are paid before the prelims, midterm and finals.
Included in this nearly 33,000-peso payment are one set of school uniform and one set of PE uniform.
