Perhaps lower the minimum word count? you would get much more prospects and content for the same price. Then when you have the revenue, you can up the pay and the minimum word count to receive it, however I recommend you also keep the reduced word count and reduced pay as an option as to not lose the revenue from people who have interesting, but shorter stories for content.
The fact that people use complaintsboard for free is totally pointless. I watch videos on youtube for free, but I watch videos on swagbucks because I want to be paid. True they only pay a few cents, but the amount made is pretty good for the effort used. If I had to write 300 words for the same amount? I'd never do it, no matter the topic. maybe 100-150 words, but not 300. that's almost a full page for only 5 cents. Over at fiverr you'd be charged $5 for that. Jut something to consider.
