I wouldnt try to compete with $5 submissions, he charges like $1. Im afraid you wont get rich this way, I wouldnt charge more then 5 or 10$ per 100 words. But then again, Im no expert

If you really do know how to write and know how to layout a story so that it is readable on the Internet then $20.00 for a 1k to 1.5k word story, for something that only 1 webmaster can use, is at the low end of the price scale.

Unfortunately you will find that many webmasters haven't a clue when it comes to buying stories and they only look for cheap shit. That's fine because they get what they pay for and it converts or retains exactly as you would expect shit to do.

By the way - few people who claim to be writers really are. Most are wannabes who don't take the time to learn the trade.

Even if you really can write it takes a long time to become known and all that time you're battling idiots who think it's good business practice to sell their work for $5.00 a story.
