Pros

-The starting rate of single-digit pennies per word is half-decent if you're looking for some pocket change on the side of your normal job (or a few bucks per hour, if you're doing one of their other tasks which don't operate on a per-word basis) -The topics/subjects Zergnet's brands cover can sometimes be fun/amusing to write about

Cons

-Every single aspect of writing for them revolves around clickbait titles and barely related body text that's built to be an SEO magnet rather than a readable, informative piece of content. -Pay is static. You will start at under a dime per word as a freelance article writer, and you will end there, no matter the years of servitude. Raises do not happen, and the top crust of management will remind you you're disposable, like all the other writers. -They offer a couple of different writing avenues, like news writing, script-proofing, article writing, etc. but, again, it's all static/low-paying for life -The upper folks admit they don't respect you
