Buddy, the going rate is $2 for a 500 word article and there are diserning buyers who are shelling out $1 for each 100 words. For 1000 word article at $1, well I do not think you will get any writers, yeah you may get some cut and paste operators.
Naturally you pay peanuts you get monkeys only. Well I am not bidding for your project, just advising you. And please have some respect for the freelancing profession. We put in our best, we expect commensurate return on our hard work, not some dole or Bheekh.
Thanks
