$300?

I actually saw where someone was advertising for an

Adsense Consultant


and they were offering to pay them between $100 and $300 to set up a "few" websites. I think that this is an incredibly low-ball offer but there have been bids on that ad.

This reminds me of the talks and discussions from webpage designers who talked about how clients - or should I say potential clients - wanted to pay far less than what the webdesigners were willing to work for.

And just like some of webdesigners did I'm sure that there are a lot of people that would jump at the chance to take on that job for that amount of money. But you know what? I'm willing to bet that the job is going to be far more work than was thought for the one that takes it. There were no specifics mentioned about what the work involved - only that some websites were needed. Does that mean that an Adsense account had to be created? Whose name will it be in? Will both the freelancer and the client have access to the Adsense account? How much content will the client provide? How much content will the freelancer provide? What about the work involved in driving traffic to the website? What about search engine optimization?

All of that for just $300? I don't think so!
