RidiculAd comment: 10 critical reviews (journal articles). Each review would require extensive literature research of the PubMed database. In real life, each review article would take 60-100  hours. If a professional writer charges a modest $100/hour, then each article (including literature research, revisions, etc) should cost at least $1,000. Ten such articles, would be ten times more...i.e. $10,000!!!! At least. Do the math!

RidiculAd comment: 
What they don't tell you is that every article is subject to scrutiny by Demand Media Studio reviewers, who do live up to their name, and are quite DEMANDING! And if the article does not comply with their stringent guidelines, they ask the writer to revise, and if the revision is not up to snuff...they reject it...OR WORSE...Accuse a writer of SELF-PLAGIARISM! 

Walk away...no RUN away from Demand Media Studios as they are unreasonably demanding and unfair...It's a content mill that uses writers to produce quality work for either very little or nothing at all...I suspect that they revise all "rejected" or "plagiarised" articles and use it them for their publication purposes...Sop if $25, $35 or even $50 for a 300-400 word article (which by the way includes research, and inclusion of evidence-based studies), imagine getting paid %0 for all that work!!!!!
