The rewrite reqtesus are something I hear a lot about from Demand writers, and one that seems almost silly at times. If they want to go the extra mile they'd better be prepared to pay for a higher level of work for starters. Beyond that though, they'll request things like completely unnecessary sources in reality, they should be thrilled that a niche specialist would even consider writing for them and sharing real-world experiences. There are times when the author is all the source a piece needs (and obviously times where that isn't the case). But when you write for someone who allows writers to jump around and write about things they might know nothing about, I guess you set yourself up for those kinds of reqtesus. You hit a very important point Yo. There's a lot of talk about how Oh, I can make $30k or $40k with Demand Studios if I work full-time for them and write fast, so it's a great job! That's bullshit. 1. As you noted, $30k or $40k freelancing does not equal the same amount in a salary position, which is what people tend to compare things to income-wise. While I covered this in more detail in the rate-setting article linked in the sidebar, very briefly what you DO need to compare it to is your cost to an employer as opposed to the salary. A 5-figure difference is pretty typical. 2. A lot of the people talking about how easy it would be if they just write fast haven't been doing it long enough (or full-time) to speak to the most important point sustainability. No writer should have to push themselves to the brink of burning out just to make what still amounts to a pretty mediocre living. That doesn't even account for the fact that not all 40 hours per week (in a typical full-time work week) are spent actually writing at least not if the writer's competent in running their overall business.
