How many words constitutes an article?

I'm off work for 10 days & could probably knock up a dozen in that time.

**MisterStretch** · 25-12-2008, 07:15 PM

$25? Really...wow.

Not to belittle you James, but for the everyday Joe who wants to see his name on an article it's probably okay.

For those of us that are used to getting $400 for an article, it's a bit small.

Check out the website
I don't think he is talking about a full page article just a picture and couple hundred words.

So, Looks like sTroller has been wanting to contact the food editor to see how much they will pay for ideas on how to BBQ your neighbors dog recipes and tips on how to prepare RAT for your ExPat lover.
and some tips on how to serve Lao Khao in a classy setting..

Yep, I know that 25 bucks isn’t allot, but I want to pay something and 25 fits into the budget for now. I have the upmost respect for working writers, I have a few sites where I pay my editors (expats) full western salaries, but those sites make allot of money – this one is more of a hobby site so the pay is lower.

But you won’t exactly be writing anything that is complicated, will require lost of research or will be up for a writing award - just personal experiences.

Yes it is a lowbrow online mag, lol – sort of a FHM for expats, just a quick read every day.

I am not too strict on the word count, take a look at the word count of a few articles to give you an idea

Not a troll, I made an introduction and answered any questions people had about me (https://teakdoor.com/newbies-lounge/3...kok-expat.html (New guy, new Bangkok Expat)), I like this forum and after reading it I thought the folks here may have some funny, informative or interesting stories

I think he is referring to the poster Spiff AKA sTroller and not you.

If $25 fits in yor budget then so be it. I know some sites that pay zero.

**panama hat** · 25-12-2008, 07:44 PM

I think it sounds ok, for the right people, no need to slag the guy off.

**Redrum** · 25-12-2008, 07:49 PM

I'm up for it.

**keda** · 25-12-2008, 08:29 PM

My NYResolution, once settled in Patts I'll knock out a 200 worder or two on behalf of DD's favourite charity...

**DrB0b** · 25-12-2008, 08:34 PM

I've looked at the website, it's just another whoremonger site. I'll do it if expenses are paid.

**ExpatJG** · 25-12-2008, 09:02 PM

Correction – I cant return PM’s cuz I don’t have 100 posts – so please respond to this at: james [at] expatrockstar.com

I am glad you are keeping in mind the poor and needy of Soi Yodsak over the festive season

**blackgang** · 25-12-2008, 09:17 PM

Yep, thats sure DD's fav charity alrighty.

**dirtydog** · 25-12-2008, 09:25 PM

I have to admit I have also found other worthy causes, the poor and needy at Oasis agogo, not only can't they afford bras, they can't afford knickers

So where do you stuff the money when you wanna tip them?

**blackgang** · 25-12-2008, 09:35 PM

That is truly a sad state of affairs then.
Why not organise a fund for them?
