Guess I'm going to have to move to Bangladesh to cash in on this exciting $7-per-hour golden opportunity...

US/Canadian tourism portal is looking for a Western expat writer/editor to re-write content, edit copy and add quotes. This job is ONLY for an editor in a low-cost of living country who can telecommute and use our Skype connection. We will not consider writers and editors who are stateside. Rather than hiring intern writers, we prefer expats where our USD converts well.
Part time: Pay: $7/hour (USD) Pay via paypal. (JournalismJobs.com)

"Experience in WordPress is huge."

Gee...I wonder if the wording of this ad falls under federal anti-discrimination laws.

I noticed that one but was too dumbfounded to post anything here. It's really in a class of its own.

Finished product? As far as copy editing goes, at this juncture it could not be much worse than many newspapers and most Web sites.

This might not be so bad if you could find a nice studio overlooking the Ganges.
