Thank you for your observations, I appreciate the tone. In our case the writers are working to a formula, which for most people is a lot easier than creative writing. So far most of our writers are actually work-at-home moms who are happy to make around $10 an hour, for a task they see as being quite enjoyable - writing news summaries about their favorite celebrities, while sitting at home. They can finish a task in a few minutes, depending on the topic, and bank $10-$20 a day extra cash (or more) fairly easily. Then they can come back the next day for more. On our side we get a 24hr/day pool of talent that wants to keep adding content, without the need for office space and other HR issues.
