Coming in really late to this ... this explains a lot of the "writing" offers at rentacoder.com for people to make blog posts, creating multiple personas to do so.

And the offered pay is peanuts.

S. Dawson - EMTs (and I hold a similar cert for outdoor emergency care) are worried about getting you to the ER alive. Infection comes later. They don't even carry penicillin.

But nobody gets in contact with your "emergency contacts" to ask about allergies. For one, how will they know who they are? Wear the warning bracelet! If you are not responsive enough to answer the allergy question, the first thing I'll look for is a Med-Alert tag.

Low-paid AMATUERS on are being paid to create product buzz ... blogitive.com and others are paying a whopping $5 per post or less to game the search engines.

See this blog.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS in royalties ... with 16,000 books on line means about $60 per book.

I wandered into this while researching publishing scams ... yikes. I think I'll go curl up with a copy of Atlanta Nights and a bottle of scotch.
