just a question for the forum

Well, for me, I like offering services cheap because it attracts more employers.
Though right now I still have none

Like vod said supply vs demand. Members are so many here but there is no much service to be offered

and hey, "why would they pay for more if they can have someone to do it for less"

[Hash72]

Earning $1 here for 3rd world people is a lot.

or

Some teens are looking for money, like students etc.

You are right supply VS Demand is the first key to consider plus the competition coming from members who are well educated with updated skills  living in the corner of the third world as well as in ()Asia ()Africa.

True, I'm a highschool student myself!
And theres not much I can offer but programming and writing
and maybe other stuff people would find me qualified for.

offering your services for cheap is totally different. if you offer then you asked for the cheap pay, but these people who advertise to pay bad wages are knowingly screwing people over. yes i realize if you can get it done cheap then why not do it. ive thought of all this before even making this post.

The people that work for "bad wages" instead of negotiating for "good wages" are knowingly screwing themselves.

i cannot argue that. the question was more geared towards users that post shitty rates though, not users that offer their services for cheap

That's true but since people get so desperate for work they take the offer immediately.

I bet that if you really want to do something that's good for all community, you will find here someone who can help you for free.

Desperate for work or income? Those are not the same thing.

[yenzae0215]

if you demand on high rate there will always be some people that will offer lower rates than you so probably the payment will go in the most cheapest

It's mostly because there is a vast difference in different economics (like what TBZ and others have said). $1 an hour is a lot in places like India as an average McDonald's crew get paid like $0.50 per hour there.  (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/15/global-mcdonalds-protests_n_5324938.html)

That's how a free market works.

No matter the amount offered for the job, there are always people who are looking to scoop up a few bucks.

In some cases the community is quite helpful and will offer to do it for free.

10 dollars can be a month pension for 3rd world man. If he has skills it is perfect opportunity for him. This is called outsourcing. That's why big companies are producing in China etc.

[Soros Shorts]

Why do people post low offers? Probably because they believe that somebody in some corner of the world would take it. If their offer is too low and nobody is interested then they will raise it a little and try again.

No union wages here. Pure global supply and demand.

Desperate for work to have an income, unless I'm exaggerating.

But that's how some people here act.

Its all menial type work. Its the same reason US companies move building toys to china and other countries. They will do it for cheap and who cares about the quality.

Trust me there is no one looking for an engineer with 2 degrees paying .001 btc for something. Its all website menial labor so why pay more than you need to.

I suggest it is time to value the work being delivered (and be grateful for it) than to value it by its price tag. Have you seen a 90% discount being offered by a high street designer label store? I have.

In any case money is one of the illusions we have. Which is why it currently exists more as numbers in bank computers than liquid cash. Imagine all of a bank's customers running to draw all of their funds on a day ? The bank will vanish.

And altcoins have already proven and benefited from this illusion.

I am all praise for folks here willing to do work at a rate that looks shit in downtown Chicago. I suggest we respect them for what they are doing.
