I tried to sign up with a content mill but they want me to write a test article for $35 to see if I meet their standards. I am resisting until I'm that desperate. It's been months. I may never be that desperate. Would rather bash out whatever's on my mind on Medium, to be honest, and earn 17c. Because the test assignment offered would have been research-intensive on something I knew nothing about. It's not a ten minute job.
