As a blogger, writing becomes an additional ability that must be mastered besides coding, of course. But for me personally, writing is far more important as stock to build a career as a blogger. Look at Raditya Dika who became a blogger and writer because of her skill.
Not a few bloggers who have expertise in writing writing I found on auction sites. They sell their services very cheaply. Not that they are cheap. It's just that, in our beloved country there are no service auction sites that are able to humanly appreciate freelance writers.
Or in other languages, not many service seekers can afford to pay properly for one paper. I tried to find some writing orders for blogs on the Sribulancer site. My search was aimed at someone who needed a reliable writer for a blog.
It offers a price of $36,57 for 25 posts with 1,000 words each. That means that per article is valued at $1,46, aka $0,0015 for each word. Not to mention there are frills "it would be better if more than 25 writings, could be 30 or 35 ," he said.
For me this is an insult. Besides because he asked that his writing not copy paste, it also had to be completed in a short time. He thought one pure writing could be finished like defecating in the morning. That makes no sense. If it is not the result of cloning from other writings, I do not know the author will do what moves to fulfill all that.
Freelance writers in several countries are highly valued. I found a lot of writing and buying sites that pay quite humanly. One of them is FreelanceMom. They pay writers from $ 75 to $ 100 for one article from 900 to 1,500 words.
If converted in rupiah with an exchange rate of $0,95, then one article on the site is valued starting at $71,32 to $95,09. Compare the comparison of the comparison yourself. But there will definitely be those who say, it is abroad. For me, writing is not familiar with demographics. Everything is about creative power. The challenges are the same.
But that does not mean that all sites in Indonesia do not respect writing. It's not a service auction site. But they accept writers with various backgrounds. If you have good writing skills, there is no harm in sending posts to these sites.
Next Reva describes several sites in Indonesia that accept freelance writers.
1. Mojok
Site that carries this popular concept is a forum for writers with excessive ability. As an alternative media, you are strictly forbidden to be too serious. More satires and subtle teasing to many cases.
Mojok received a lot of writing, starting essays, curhatan, and even mop stories. They really appreciate it. Although the writing in Mojok is lighter and tasteful, but they really appreciate every work that is successfully published. The payment starts from IDR 350,000 to more for one article.
So you have excess energy, there is no harm in sending to Mojok.co.
2. Voxpop
Actually almost the same as Mojok, Voxpop Indonesia also carries a relaxed and refreshing theme. However, for those of you who aren't too satirical, but your writing holds meaning, then Voxpop.id can be an interesting choice.
Voxpop accepts diverse writings, ranging from opinions with diverse and fresh perspectives. As the name suggests 'Suara Raykat' (vox populi), this site was founded from a variety of different backgrounds. Starting from journalists, comic artists, to entrepreneurs.
That is why, every article that succeeds on this site will be rewarded with a humane honor. One article is paid IDR 250,000 with an unlimited number of words.
3. Geotimes
If you are the type of person who writes seriously and always fulfills all theoretical elements. Then there is no harm in writing something on Geotimes.co.id. Sites that hold opinion writing and this column put forward the actual and timeless issues.
Posts that can appear on the site must meet the requirements from 750 to 1000 words. However, do not worry, if your writing successfully published, the pay will also not disappoint. They will pay according to expertise, but starting from Rp. 350,000 per article. The pay can be more than a million if it is indeed from the experts.
4. Remotivi
This one is more specific. Remotivi.or.id is an organization that monitors all media broadcasts. Both television, radio, print to online. If you have the ability to analyze a story from a media point of view, please send text.
I have never sent an article to Remotivi, but some friends who managed to publish articles on the site said that the payment was far from enough than just social media. They can pay from IDR 350,000 to IDR 1,500,000 per article.
But that's it, because they are a serious site, so the writings that appear must meet the conditions they set.
5. Basabasi
The Basabasi.co site houses a variety of writings compared to the four others I mentioned above. Basabasi accepts short stories, poems, essays, book reviews and hibernation or light articles. Every writing is valued differently. Light writing IDR 100,000, short stories and essays IDR 300,000, poems IDR 250,000 and book reviews IDR 200,000.
Every writing that goes into them will be curated. If it passes, then the writing will be aired. They also do not limit any posts sent. If a lot and everything passes, then they will air. What is interesting again, every writer who first aired his writings will be given a shirt from Basabasi.
Come to think of it, if you really have the ability to write, then there's no harm in sending to one of the sites above. Or sending to all of them also does not hurt. What must be considered as ethics, do not send the same work to a different site, unless it has been declared not pass curation.
I do not want to invite people who hunt for orders on a service auction site to stop. But, I invite to think to be more self-respect. Because only the writer himself is able to appreciate his work before others judge it.
Actually there are many more sites in Indonesia that accept posts from outside at a humane fee. Depending on the friends he wants or what he likes to write. As I said at the beginning of writing, writing can be a good weapon for self-improvement. It's not difficult, it's just that many people don't understand the best way to get started.
