They are not paying it seems. I was supposed to receive payment on March 15 and to date (MArch 18) I have received no payment and nothing from the company saying why. I have put in support tickets and they are left unanswered though they say it takes up to 48 hours. So, I don't think this is a good place to work for - I have $120 waiting to be paid for work that I did. Thanks! Diana I just wanted to add my 2 cents to ESWO. They are not paying it seems.

The company owes me $675 for work completed in the summer of 2007. They have ignored multiple attempts by me to receive payment. Someone who said he was the new owner basically told me it wasn't his problem because he was ripped off by the previous owner. Avoid these guys! I would not recommend Writerlance.

Unfortunately many new ghostwriters don't have the money to spend and that is why I suggest the free ghostwriting jobs websites. Once they have gotten a couple of projects and can really see what work is involved with being a ghostwriter they can then make the decision whether or not this type of work is for them. If it is then a paid membership will definitely be my next recommendation. Paid memberships are really the only way to ensure that you get the high paying quality jobs. Amanda Hi James,

Any job requires a certain amount of expenses to earn income and promote your company, so spending on connects and membership can provide a worthwhile return on investment. You have to spend a dollar to make a dollar, a principle many people just don't *get*. For a new writer, Elance provides a place to learn the ropes, see what others are doing, gain reviews and feedback. It also offers a safety net with its escrow system, and the site has a solid reputation as being the king of freelancing auction sites. While every auction site has its drawbacks, I have yet to be convinced that Elance is anything other than a good place for writers. Now, I'm not saying all writers have fantastic success at Elance or on any other auction site. Poor writers or those with low skills or those who can't market themselves well won't be successful no matter where they go. I have to respectfully disagree with your thoughts and points of view.
