Ozio Media Review
*Updated Post 12/31/2012- See Conclusion section for details* Ozio Media is a content mill with a twist. Rather than logging on and choosing a writing assignment from a work board, writers receive e-mails with batches of keywords and directions on what the client wants written in respect to those key words. When I applied to Ozio the job ad said to specify if I wanted to be a niche writer, with options for niches such as finance and computer techonology, or a general writer.

Valley Direct Media
Valley Direct Media is a content mill that works a little differently than the ones most of us are used to. Instead of choosing topics from a job board, each writer is assigned an editor who then e-mails batches of keywords to each writer.

That is their standard format, and most clients stick to it. There are those that have special directions however. One client always has … [Read more...]
