Recently I’ve been
dealing with a large amount of resistance from people that blog about freelance
writing. When I reach out to them about The
Pro Paper, a writing and editing service, they are quick to judge who we
are. One of the unique aspects of our service is that we offer a bidding system
as opposed to a flat-rate, and this is what many people seem to devalue.
Funnily enough, I am not a writer or a web-developer. I am an economist. I
built the website because I saw an issue with the countless writing services
that prey on writers, and I wanted to empower the writers to have freedom in
the work they choose.
What many people
seem to think is that the bid-system is a way to rip off the writers, and that
the flat-rate system is much more beneficial. I’d like to point out that when
you introduce a flat-rate, or a minimum wage, you will always reduce
efficiency. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco conducted an excellent
research project on the effects of minimum wage on the labor market, click here
to read the results.
Essentially I want
to point out that people should only be paid what they’re worth, no more and no
less. Does it make sense that a skilled writer and a mediocre writer make the
same amount of money for the same work? As a service provider, my job is to
make sure that everyone is happy when they use my service. If The Pro Paper
used a flat-rate system, then there would be no reward for a writer to go above
and beyond in the work they do. But if they know that as they gain credibility,
they will be able to do higher-level work, then they will work hard to gain that
credibility.

On the other side of
the coin, the people paying for the writing service should only get what they
pay for. If someone only wants to spend $5 for a blog article, why would I
insist that they pay $10? If there is a writer out there that will do the job
for $5, then that is how it should go. It’s really a win-win system, even if it
makes the competition a little fiercer. When someone comes along with $500 to
spend on a 30-page research paper, you can bet just about anything that he will
not hire just any writer. He is going to hire the writer that has good reviews,
a good track-record, and examples of their work.
