Lingo - WASTE sites.

*Waste sites are what I call Paid Writing or Freelance Project Search websites that either require you to have
1. No life - it pays well... if you stay at home, never sleep blink or leave the computer. Ever.
2. Nothing else to do with your money - because u pay them first, then they will pay you. Which doesnt make a drop of sense unless you are starting a business. (And trust me, I know - a business needs WAY more attention, time, fine print, money, attorneys and commitment than clicking the "I AGREE" button and paying a nominal fee. Dont let the ads fool you!!)
3. No talent - you could be any schmoe off the street, but they promise you big bucks working from home.
4. Overload - First you need the best presentation - home page, sample clips, links, established blog page, credentials. This alone could take 3-6 months. Then you need to get your work out there for people to review. There are so many other people, jobs, resources, etc. on the site that it would take a whole month at home (see #1 ) to sift through the junk, scammers and dead projects - not to mention competing with other people for these jobs.
