How Much Should You Pay For a 500 Word Article?

I’m curious. How much would you pay me to write a 500 word article for you?

Ok. I don’t do freelance work at the moment. But, if I did, how would you go about it?One way to scale your internet business is to outsource writing tasks to Virtual Assistants and Freelancers. The upfront cost (payment) is offset by the extra sales you’ll make (returns) on the time you save.

How to View YouTube Mobile on Your iPhone

YouTube Mobile can be accessed by visiting m.youtube.com on your phone.

From Alex Chitu, “Google’s services have a big advantage: a lot of mobile phones include applications for services like YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail, Google Search. Unfortunately, the native applications are rarely updated, so users miss the new features added to Google’s services.

A good example is the YouTube application for iPhone, developed by Apple, which still uses 5-star ratings, doesn’t support captions, annotations or search suggestions and offers a single sharing option: email. Google’s YouTube application for Android is not much better, even if it’s updated faster.”

Think different campaigns were somehow a tiny bit sinister. I couldn’t put my finger on it didn’t buy into it. Later I realized that most successful companies in the Valley are cult-like to some degree. It’s an Us versus Them mentality. Not my cup of tea.
