I have recently been scrambling around online trying to find some work as a writer or a way to use my writing skills and knowledge to perhaps do some editing and proofreading and such of the like. Seraching countless freelance databases, and I am tired of those that seem as if they are just trying to make money off you. Which obviously if I am looking for work I do not ezactly have the money to spend 200 or 60 or whatever dollars a year.
The thing that makes me mad are the ones which try to lure you in with promosises of free regesistration but then they throw all these hidden fees at you they did not mention up front to start with. They rope you and give you a free profile but then are like, oh but if you want to acutally have acessess to anything you have to pay. And then of course it is impossible to find any way to easily terminate the account you just created.
This is what has recently happend to me more then once and it is really starting to annoy me, becasue it is just taking advantage, they should say up front what the charges are and what you really get for your free memebership which is usually nothing. Instead of pretending like they are doing you this great favor and then saying oh but now if you want to do this, and that and the other thing you need to pay a yearly charge, or a monthly fee.
I just had recently joined up with this database called Writesite that just talked about how free it was and how they were dedacaded to helping writers and so on and so forth but then after you sign up with them you find out that you have to pay 60$ a year to use thier message service, which is the only means they have to allow others to contact you, becasue they do not provide a place anywhere for you to leave your e-mail address. And then of course I have hunted and hunted and there is no where you can go to just terminate the account. So I think I am just going to e-mail them and tell them I am no longer interested.
