Hi Deb and everybody who has applied and/or watching this thread. I just wanted to pop by and announce that I have ‘closed’ the application process. I will be making my selections before the end of Monday 15th CST.

@Caarol Neumann – I can now confirm that I have not received anything with your name included. If you see this and wish to resend, I will consider your application in the lot.

Any new applications will be kept on file for Round 2 (or probably Round 6 or 7 because there were a lot of great applications received and enough to cover a bunch more rounds! // Take care. \\ HART (1-800-HART)

I agree. The pay is pretty good if it’s a topic you know well, it’s enjoyable to write about and goes fairly quickly.

And thanks to Hart for taking the time to personally check in here and answer questions!

** sorry about the typo: topice = topic *sighs*

I applied for this opportunity for two reasons:

(1) the topics really interested me
(2) I’m able to produce work quickly when it’s a “write what you know” situation. Sure, there will be times when research and sourcing is needed, but that’s not a huge burden.

Given that, I think the payment is good. In cases such as these, it’s important for me to think of the hourly wage – rather than the per piece amount. Does that make sense? For example, I just completed 10 articles (600 words each) for $50 . . . it took two hours and the editor was extremely impressed with the quality of writing. I knew the topice very well, so it was quick writing. So, that translated into a good deal.

I should add that I also applied for this blogging job. I enjoy the two blogs I have and it would be nice to have one that actually pays something. It would be like fun with a bonus!

Mariella>> It is a sickness, isn’t it? My husband told me yesterday “Do NOT apply for any other jobs!” But I love what I do and keep thinking maybe I’ll come across an opportunity that will pay great and make all my hard work a little more substantial financially.

So, I keep applying and working all the time. If I spent less time looking for new opportunities I’d probably get more work done in less time! lol I never miss a deadline though, so it’s all good.

Phil>>

I also think the same. And you saying that makes me feel vindicated — sometimes I have to wonder what’s wrong with me and why it is I can’t seem to be content with what I currently have. At least now I know I’m not acting strangely.
