RealWritingJobs Scam
I have that very strange feeling of here we go again. By that I mean I think these scammers found a brand new way to promote an old type of scam and this one might get some legs. When I see sites like this emerge I am reminded why I started this blog. You see when i just began my journey to making money online I fell for everything, All i needed was one positive review and I would sign up for the program. Not knowing of course that most people who review websites are being paid to do so.
Honestly I can’t blame anyone for helping companies promote their scam because some of the people online are living in the worst conditions and are doing something to help their family, none the less i have to be me, I told myself when i am able to work from home full time that I would do my part to help others that want to do the same. So here’s my opinion of Realwritiingjobs.com
RealWritingJobs.com Information
If you are reading this post first of all consider it a blessing, Because it’s plain to see for me that RealWritingJobs.com seems to have either paid off people or they’ve gotten people who know nothing about the internet to write positive reviews about them. I’ve said this before i’ll say it again what you don’t know will be used against you online. RealWritingJobs.com is promoting themselves as some sort of savior in the recession. Allow me to take your attention to a portion of the RealWritingJobs.com sales page, this can be found after you submit your name and password to RealWritingJobs.com it states the following,
“here’s a real check one of our members sent us recently”
It goes onto to say.
“This was his first check he got for his first job he completed after joining RealWritingJobs. Yes, it is only for $110 and it isn’t going to pay your rent, but he told us that all he had to do was write a few short articles giving feedback about some cologne products.
Just imagine getting hundreds of checks like this every single month! Some people are earning in EXCESS OF $1000 PER DAY! We can’t guarantee you’ll make that much, but if you’re not making at least $100 / day with this program, then the only excuse you can have is that you’re turning down too many writing jobs.”
I hope you can put 2 and 2 together reading the above, also i want you to keep in mind the time I am writing this blog is May 19, 2010, i’m saying this because maybe when you are reading this their post may say something else.
Now by putting 2 & 2 together I mean i hope you can see why possibly so many people have such good things to say about RealWritingJobs.com. I could be wrong but it does make you think doesn’t it???. If you want to sign up don’t let me stop you I just feel there is something seriously fishy about this site. Now let’s go on to the more important issue.
Trial offers and their Hidden charges
Before signing up I highly recommend that you read the terms & conditions. The terms and conditions for Real Writing Jobs can be found by scrolling to the bottom of the page. After the trial the price for RealWritingJobs.com is $47 per month. If you know anything about freelance writing you know you should not have to pay to become a “freelance” writer. Also if you are a free lance writer you might want to consider joining FreeLancer or yahoo owned Associated Content they’re both Free.
From my perspective this is one of those membership sites where if you are new to Free lance writing online you might sign up. But if you know anything about how Free lance writing works online you probably won’t. That’s my two cents.

thanks for reading my post best wishes!
I would really like to see an actual review on this co. Because I really don’t think that you can give a constructive review without at least trying out the site yourself!
At this point all that you’re doing is giving your opinion. And while I’m sure that it has merit, to someone who doesn’t know you it really doesn’t mean that much.
Now after the trial they put $77 not $47 anymore, and it push me to directly close the page.
To clear my mind from this too good to be true program, I run across the world wild web, then I found the second opinion of you. Your opinion truly pulls me to keep realistic, and keep moving with my own plan to make money online. Thank you for share, it really helps.
Thank you for your review of Real Writing Jobs. We appreciate you sharing your opinion and doing the research needed to fairly evaluate this freelance writer’s opportunity. We’ve read quite a bit of positive reviews of the site, but we especially appreciate how you called out that only newbie freelancers would benefit from the site, because you are correct in that there are freelance job portals that are free to use. We have seen fit to link to this article in our independent Real Writing Jobs Reviews section. Anyhow, keep up the good work spreading truth.
Membership includes a 7 DAY $4.95 risk free trial. During this time, you have the opportunity to cancel your membership with REALWRITINGJOBS.COM to avoid the one time fee of $77. You will be billed the $77 on the (8th) day after you sign up. If you would like to cancel your service, you can do so by accessing your receipt you received when you ordered.
THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS ON THEIR WEBSITE, I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING ABOUT HAVING TO PAY A MONTHLY FEE, IT ONLY SAYS A “ONCE OFF FEE”, STILL I DO NOT TRUST THEM. THIS ITCHY FINGERED WRITER WIL JUST HAVE TO CONTINUE WRITING FOR AN IMAGINARY AUDIENCE . . . . .
Most of the reviews on the web sound paid, and I know a thing or two about internet marketing done through comments and review writing. A few actually sound like they’ve been rehashed as well so the guy who did the job obviously wasn’t too good at it.
I signed up with realwritingjobs.com and am now going to cancel the subscription. They do not offer what they promise. The links bring you to the website that the jobs are actually posted on and to bid on the projects you have to sign up at those sites so RW’s site is practically worthless. So I wrote down all the websites they link to and got all of the $3700.00 worth of freebies that they supposedly offer (I didn’t think that it was really worth that much).
Thanks Rae,
you’ve saved my precious bucks.
realwritingjobs.com site has not give any contact information. How one can believe in site ? means it is oneway traffic fo money.site holder earns and enthusiast starve for earning ang and yo can’t contact irectly instead you have to feedback here.
I have read a fair few reviews on this site and find it highly suspicious that most positive reviews contain spelling or grammatical errors… that says it all to me! I’d run quickly the other way based on that alone.
It is October 22, 2010 and I just closed the realwritingjobs.com window to look into reviews for legitimacy and scams. Of course, I came across more scams than any legitimacy. The site over 7 days for $2.95 whereafter will be an automatic charge of $47.95. Then, I closed and went back to the site a few minutes after to see that the trial fee would be $4.95 for 7 days with the one-time fee of $77. What a crock!!! Why switch up the fees and the prices from monthly payments to one-time payments. Thanks for your review and don’t worry about these nim-wits that want to degrade your opinion. We are all subject to our opinions. Also, thanks for referring a free site to those reading your review…
These people use extremely deceptive tactics in an attempt to get people to their site. When they found their posts were being instantly flagged on sites like craigslists, they started disguising them as more legit looking posts. When you respond to what you think looks like a real job you get a link to a site where you click “Apply for This Job”… which then only leads you to their real site.
It is underhanded methods like these that tells you from the start what type of so called “company” this is. Their only reason for being is to prey on people in need… those that can least afford to lose the money. If you see their posts or find that you have responded to one of their phony posts, please flag them. Help put con artists like these out of business.
Thank you all for posting this, I was actually considering that website but i always look at other reviews then they put up, sometimes if put people’s failures up there too they’ll seem more human, and a little honesty…
Please help me. I want to end my subscription. I can’t contact the number they posted in their website for cancellation. please email me. ASAP. My credit card is billing me to death.
on their website its says their customer support number is 1-800-886-6011 or visit http://www.realwritingjobs.com/supportcenter.html. More information.

There are several legitimate freelance web sites that connect freelancers with people offering jobs, and most of them charge a monthly membership fee. That is nothing new. The real scam is what you get for the money.
Realwritingjobs.com pulls jobs listed on OTHER freelance web sites, freelance job forum web sites, and displays them on their web site…thats it. Realwritingjobs.com does not have ONE SINGLE job listing from an employer of their own, NOT ONE. All they do is pull job listing from other web sites. To actually apply for any of the jobs, you have to go the site where the job originates from, and in most cases you have to become a member of that site before you can even apply. Is that worth paying realwritinjobs.com for?
Most of the freelance web sites charge between 10 and 50 dollars a month to be a member for either contractors or employers. http://www.odesk.com is the only one I found that has no membership fees at all, but instead they take a percentage of what you are paid, just like a job agency.
It is true the Asian countries have people low balling writing and tech contracts at ridiculous rates from 3 dollars an hour to as low as 50 cents per hour, but there are also plenty of contract jobs for American writers where employers are sick of hiring people who cannot write proper English. In the last six months I have had 14 contracts. My going rate now is 20 dollars an hour. Most of my contracts have been no lower than 14 dollars an hour, and three thus far have been at 20/ per hour. My contracts have been anywhere from 2 or 3 hour jobs to over 30 hours.
I have managed to build up a portfolio show examples of the work I have done and taken some aptitude and skills tests that bolster my qualifications. The more extensive my record becomes, the easier it is for me to get higher paying contracts.
I am managing to earn a living, but it is not a stable work enviorment. Employers can end the contract at any time. Often because they no longer have funding, or they disappear, or they suddenly decide they want something different. Many of the employers are nmot highly professionals, but just joe blows that have a web site, but the work is there for people willing to put in the effort and know how to sell themselves. When you apply for a listed job, you are bidding against everyone else. I am usually the HIGHEST bidder instead of the lowest one. The key is selling yourself in the cover letter.
I joined up on a Thursday and have been trying to end my membership for the past week. They have not returned any emails or phone calls, so how am i supposed to get my money back? If i can’t get hold of them in the next couple of days i’m going to have to cancel my credit card. Anyone have any better ideas.

Hello. I assume that you work from home successfully. I am looking for “real” full/part time at home on the computer, or not jobs that are not scams. Could you point me in the right direction. Thank you.
