Angela Hoy –owner of WritersMarket.com– seems to have a wild hair about Demand Studios and other paid-to-write sites. Hoy calls Demand Studios (and like sites) “content mills,” and says that such sites have the internet rife with subpar articles written by sorry excuses for writers. Having worked as a freelance writer for DS for nearly eight months (and writing for eHow for 13 months), I have to take issue with her stance.

I just got an email saying that Demand Studios is going to start paying its freelancers twice per week. I haven’t written anything for Demand since June, but this is a great incentive for active Demand Studios writers. I think DS will start getting articles on a more regular basis. I know when I was writing for them, I’d write on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, trying to get my assignments in before the work-week cut off period. Basically, I wrote for a few days so that I could have some quick cash on pay day. Now, that there’s two pay days… hmmm… Demand Studios is looking a little more attractive to me. 
I’ll have to see how I can work those assignments into my already full plate….

I started writing for Demand Studios in April, and stopped in early June. In that time, I earned a few thousand dollars. It’s ridiculously easy money, but the fact that I was writing articles that won’t ever earn me passive income sort of bothered me. At DS, I was earning $15 per article. It’s easy money, yes, but a a little voice in my head started wondering how much those same articles would have earned me if I had written them for eHow. I’ve been at eHow for nearly a year, and some of my articles have earned hundreds of dollars. Contrast that with the $15 that Demand Studios pays me for the same sort of work. Demand Studios appeals to the need for immediate gratification, but earning passive residual income at eHow just makes a lot of sense. I see eHow as a creative bank account that keeps earning me scads of interest on the work that I’ve paid into it.
