Not necessarily. Sometimes they expressed enthusiasm in ways other than liking our posts, such as sending me private emails and expressing a desire to volunteer, etc. We only take on as contractors people who are passionate about the cause, have benefited personally from the content, and volunteer at least 2/3 of their time or more.
*snort*
Let's translate: "We pay our contractors at most 1/3 of the stated rate".
You are being silly. What makes you believe any contractor would work for 1/3 the standard rate?
It would seem that the existence of such contractors follows logically from the fact that you are able to hire people despite the fact that you require contractors to volunteer 2/3 of their time.
The issue at hand is motivation, not existence. Lumifer fails to understand that people would not work at 1/3 of the standard rate if they were not passionate about the cause.
That's why you hire third-world virtual assistants.
They are hired at 1/3 the standard third-world rate, silly. They can make much more working for another organization - they choose to work for Intentional Insights because of their passion for it. But anyway, I'm tired of this. I think I have explained the situation clearly enough for any rational being to update. If you refuse to be rational about it, I'm not going to waste my time on this anymore.
The standard third-world rate is "whatever I can get", love.
LOL. Y'know, you inflict a lot of damage to yourself and your brand just because you stubbornly insist on your petty lies and keep on digging when the correct (dare I say rational? X-D) choice of action is to cut and run...
I love that you keep showing your ignorance throughout this conversation. Gold star for this one, especially. See the minimum rate for Upwork if you're curious about this. Consider this comment an extra favor to help you learn.
Not going to dignify the rest of your silly commentary with answers. Oh, and BTW, thanks for drawing more attention to Intentional Insights with your commentary. People love controversy, and this is one reason I enjoy engaging with your until you start being repetitive and unimaginative, like you're being right now. Ta-ta!
Oh, you think Upwork is the only way to hire third-world virtual assistants. Well, grasshopper... :-)
But thanks for that piece of information, it clarified why are you paying 1/3 of stated rates.
We aim to please :-) Would you like me to continue? Would that count as volunteering for InIn and being passionate about it? :-D
You can be very pleasing indeed when you aim for it ;-)
