Has anyone written for "Freelance Home Writers" dot com?

I responded to an online job posting for freelance writers today and got an email back with a link for "Freelance Home Writers." Evidently you pay $2.95 (on special! usually it's a lot more) and then get jobs to write content for blogs and such from $10 to $20 per article.

I've heard of other writers doing this, not necessarily for this company but I've heard there is money to be made writing blogs and articles.

No serious red flags are raising, except their repeated use of "it's" when "its" is correct.

What do you think?

Good enough for me. Their email is deleted.

Just curious, what makes them a scam?

Oh, I don't need any more persuasion, believe me. I was convinced seven posts ago.

I checked them out on ripoff report and read the comments left by the people there. All of them said that they paid the $2.95 and got charged the full amount. Interestingly enough, none of them said the company didn't deliver what was promised, which leads me to believe that this company doesn't actually deliver anything. Bizarre.

I had found the listing for "freelance writers needed" online, posted on a local Cincinnati newspaper's classified ad section. I had totally misread the ad, believing it was the newspaper itself seeking freelance writers. So, I applied through that ad and later got that email.

Hey, I'm not thinking 100% clearly due to having to wake up every three hours at night to help either feed the baby or change the baby. Maybe I have some excuse for not recognizing something was wrong. However, I did come on here to check them out before I did anything.

I've heard of people being paid to write blog posts and online articles and have never pursued it before. Being unemployed, I wondered if it were something I could do.

Thanks for all the feedback, though. I appreciate the support.

ETA: Stldenise, I followed that link. The article was written by a woman who has the same exact name as me, only with an "a" at the end.
