For writers Only

[Abdul R]

What's your maximum annual earning here at Odesk? Anyone who would like to discuss on it?

[Jean S]

For a writer you might want to change the first line of your overview.

"To me, writing engaging stuff is the greatest pleasure and I enjoy it."

Stuff ???

[Isabelle Anne A]

Well maybe it's not the best first line, but nonetheless Abdul seems to have a stellar Work History.

[Jean S · Accepted solution]

LOL. I just couldn't resist.

Absolutely agree. Very impressive work history. Will keep him in mind when I need a writer.

[Isabelle Anne A]

Glad to hear that Jean

@Abdul, to answer your original question: I guess I'm not comfortable with sharing my earnings but it wouldn't be accurate anyway because although I'm a writer, over half of my income on oDesk comes from proofreading & editing.

I have to admit, though, that I'm curious about the success of proofreaders, editors & writers on this platform. 

[Mukami L]

I would be pleased too if you have me in mind. From a different level though.

I am a new writer who is self-motivated and determined, seeking for opportunity to better

my skills and earn. Above it all it is not only about the money but the satisfaction derived from writing.

[Robert James R]

 Haven't been consistent enough to call for annual salary. Monthly I can give you but not a year's worth.

On average, I earn less than 2000 per month but that's from a lot of clients. 

[Abdul R]

How can we increase it? 

In advanced countries, People earn same amount of money and is it sufficient to spend life?

i do the od profesional riting. my clients enjoy my attenton too detale, my grammer and symtex. i cant give you my earnings because im only a part tyme riter. also my riting contracts arn't consistont. 

Hypothetically, if I had a job that had no cap of content, I could easily earn $1,000 per week with a $0.05 p/word rate. Probably more, but I get bored easily.

[Zablon M]

you can do  $ 1000 per week? can you tell me how you are able to do so? too many clients or you work in a group or you hire other freelancers?
