I found you through Entrecard, which I'm beginning to really like becasue I've found so many great blogs lately. I just wanted to make a comment about online article writing. Among many things, I'm a writer also. Looking at online article writing in terms of freelancing, you simply have to see at it as a completely different market than magazine, or story writing for print media in terms of compensation. While payment is MUCH different for online article writing, it's not necessarily peanuts. You can maintain credibility by carefully choosing the projects you accept. Sometimes the trade-off is greater exposure, sometimes it's cultivating clientèle, sometimes its actually making more money by doing more projects (volume vs high-paying project). What I'm saying is online article writing is another alternative. It's not necessarily better or worse than other markets. It's just different. Hi Theda-

I have met a lot of new people through that (entre) program, so it is not a waste of time by any means, even if it isn't really much good, advertising-wise, sometimes. On many sites I often just "drop and run", but I seem to always put on the brakes when I come to your blog and read what you have to say. You are a great writer, I think. Keep up the good work. I just wanted to go one extra step this time and actually make a comment. Relax Max from britishspeak.blogspot (It's pretty "racy", so you don't have to visit. I just wanted to compliment you on your writing.) Dear Theda:

I'm not sure what "peanuts" is, but I just applied for a reporter job (cross your fingers) that pays $30,000 to start. Definitely worth it. But it's a specialized paper, so maybe the smaller, more specialized markets are more lucrative than the larger papers that cover everything? Or maybe that's peanuts. :) Thanks for the comment.
