Pros

none. There is not a single pro. How sad is that?

Cons

Exactly. Its all just a con. I took the entrance tests, passed, then wrote an initial article per their request, written and edited over days because I wanted to get accepted, only to log in and see this: Attention: Your account has been suspended, and you are no longer able to write posts for BlogMutt. You can still invoice for posts that you have sold. Typical reasons for suspension of your writing privileges on the BlogMutt platform include: A violation of our Terms of Service An unacceptable decline rate as determined by our internal algorithm Plagiarism We will not answer any emails regarding reasons for suspensions. Nothing was plagiarized, Ive been a writer all my life, I write my own work and take a lot of pride in it. I googled after feeling really confused when I saw this because you cant contact them and you are just blocked, and found that this is a common occurrence. Now I am concerned that they have my social sec # and I cant get back in and do anything about it. Do NOT give them any info. Find someplace legit to write, because this place is NOT it.

Pros

There’s plenty of work, the pay is great once you reach higher levels. (I average about $25-30 per hour.) Management is very responsive to any questions or concerns you have over specific clients. Once you reach higher levels you get cool rewards like a t-shirt, LinkedIn group access, and stocks in the company. For those who are complaining their account was suspended...the only explanation is that they must have not been a strong writer. BlogMutt only accepts 5% of writers who apply which I love since that leaves more work for the “regulars” on the site. Overall it’s a great company with a bright future and I’m happy to be apart of it!

Cons

There are times when I wish I could speak to a client directly for more info on exactly what they want. BlogMutt doesn’t allow writer to client conversation at all. I wish there were far more “deadline” topics available to claim.

Pros

It's one of the higher paying writing gigs They pay weekly if you want or just when you submit your invoices There is no pressure to write for certain clients You can pick the articles you want to write You can write on your own time Easy to use Management does seem to look for ways to improve the process for its writers. I've spoken to many writers that make all their money through Blogmutt, so it is possible to eventually make enough money to live off of it. You have to level up to get the higher-paying articles, but ti worth the struggle. I've only had 10% of my articles rejected and only two of those I couldn't use for other clients. All the other ones, I submitted to new clients and sold them.

Cons

You only get paid if a client takes the article you write. If the client already has a lot of articles in their queue you probably won't get paid for your article for several months. Some clients reject articles a lot, so writers often avoid them. If you are new you should avoid them too. If you want to make this a regular job you need to write often and eventually, you'll start getting paid every week, since you have so many articles out. If a client does reject your article, you can send it to another client.
