Salary
Choose how many words you'd like to write each week.
1,500 words/week (Salary: ₱12,000/mth) (~6-10 hours of work each week)
2,000 words/week (Salary: ₱16,000/mth) (~8-14 hours of work each week)
2,500 words/week (Salary: ₱20,000/mth) (~10-17 hours of work each week)
The salary per month stated above is an estimation of how much you will earn a month. We actually pay writers by the number of words they have written, at a rate of ₱2,000 per thousand words.
For example: if you applied for the 2,000 words/week position and choose to work 5 days a week, you are expected to write around 400 words each day. Based on the speed of around 400 words a day, you will find that in a month where there are 20 working days, you will be paid (400 words X 20 days X ₱2,000 per thousand words = ₱16,000/month). In most months, there will actually be more than 20 working days and therefore, you will be paid more accordingly based on the number of words you have written.
