- Go to Would You Pay a Paper Pusher?
Thanks, Anthony
If I become a paper pusher, I'll do it honestly. I saw a few of those rates, and I'm still in disbelief. No way would I charge that kind of money.
God bless.

Straightforward,
My Mom's the same way. I never saw anybody who hated paperwork than that woman...

Yes I did pay a "paper pusher" to do it, rather a lot for the simple things she did,$$500.00) then she dropped me, after she'd collected, long before she could finish delivery of the real goods.
I have since found out, it is against the ethics/law of "Marketing" people, to charge anything until they've accomplished something.
Sooo, just check it all out carefully, but there are lots of people that will pay to get things done.

Yes, I would. Even though I write, I also hate filling forms etc.

Thanks, Whacky
I'll check around, see how many others are "paper pushing". One big advantage is there'd be very little cash outlay to get going. I have Word Perfect, Star Office, a printer...
My neighbor friend could build a drop box for me for work and payments, placed near the roadside. I think I could make it work.
God bless.

M.P.O.,
I didn't really think I had a new concept. Even with competition, someone talented at editing/writing still should be able to make money. I'll think it over more.
God's blessings.

There are actually a great many "paper pusher" services out there ...
it's not really a new concept.
I'd stick with gospel singing ... it can be a lot more lucrative than you may realize.
Good luck, either way.

paper pushers are a big business in vancouver. i answered
an ad for a transcriber job but the more i interviewed for it the more i realized i'm just not a desk person. good for you if you can do it because you're right, some people hate the task of writing. best of luck in your endeavor.
