WARNING about Palladous the freelance writing company


Recommended Posts

Palladous is literally the worst freelance writing company I have ever come across. They pay you slave wages, literally like $3 an hour, and expect extremely high quality writing and if they aren't exactly happy with your writing, they will send it back for multiple fussy revisions. For example, they will pay you 6 dollars for a 400 word article. So it will take between 30 to 60 minutes to write the article, including the research for it. Then they'll send it back for one or two or even three revisions, so writing one article ends up taking 2 hours. Palladous thus pays you $3 dollars an hour. My strong warning is do not even waste your time with this worthless trashy company. Palladous is a SCAM!

THIS is why we need strong labor laws in America and in the UK (where the company is based). There are currently no laws regarding minimum wage requirements for freelance work. In other words, if someone hires you for a freelance job, there is no legal requirement that they pay you minimum wage.

But I guess I'm "entitled" because I don't want to work for $3 dollars an hour?

No one is forcing you. You can make more than that on Mturk per hour if you wanted. Not much writing necessary. Or try Teletech if you're into customer service.  Suggesting those because I'm assuming you don't want a regular job.

imo fool them. they like to send revisions back, thinking they tried to curate it. spend shit time on a 400 word article. I can write one in 5 minutes (lol you slob). let them revision your grammar or spelling to think they had proper due process not to accept a 400 word shitbin so fast, when in honesty you worked on it less than an hour.  Send them 3 400 word articles that you spent 30 minutes top on.  Only research and re-do what you can do in the following 30 minutes.  Either way, that's shit pay. Reg jobs are better IMO.
