I completed the work and G's business partner paid me promptly via PayPal.

About 30 minutes of easy work.

I've done both the social media job and the article writing job. Got paid the next day.

To be honest working on projects with RVF members is pretty fun. You make connections and close friends by doing so.

Thanks guys.

Everyone has done a great job so far.

One person who I emailed doesn't have a paypal account set up, so please get back to me so I can make sure you get paid.

I will most likely be away from a computer till Sunday night, so payments and new jobs will be on hold till then.

Bare with me and everyone will be taken care of.

GManifesto, you are brilliant.

Get 100 people to submit one "free" article to you, end up saying "no thanks" to 99 of them.

Just got yourself 100 free articles which have a value of $300-500 for nothing. (Or according to your arithmetic it's $3500)

I use to do this all the time on eLance several years ago. I went two years without paying for a single article, but eventually the Indians wisened up to it. I then shifted gears toward the Bangladeshis, but their writing quality wasn't up to par so their free articles were useless.

But G, you've managed to achieve the same thing with intelligent writers who are native English speaking. Sheer genius.

Bolthouse -

The only difference is I have yet to turn anyone away that has done this.

Their quality of writing has been excellent.

Everyone who has participated has passed the trial, done a second article and been paid (except one guy who doesn't seem to have paypal set up).

So yeah, that would be a smooth move, but that is not what I am doing/is happening.

I'm amazed at this business model. $35 for rewriting a 500 article? Not questioning the veracity of the pay outs I just can't see how this is a viable financially. I used to write reviews for my national equivalent of Lonely Planet and I could easily churn out 3000 words a day of ORIGINAL article and my pay was barely half of what guys doing this are making for the same amount of words.

Again not questioning that this is not legit just amazed at the funding. I'm genuinely curious.

I did this on a lark, as I don't need the money. Got paid promptly.

[FretDancer]

Did this Article Writing job and got paid really fast.

The G is the real deal and it was fun doing these small jobs. Looking forward for more in the future.

G, I emailed you the other day. I know I've probably missed this round and you've been flooded with emails, but thought I'd just stick it in here for next time.
