P.U. Why That Web Article Stinks…
September 30, 2008. 5 Comments
You’re a writer – and a darn good one too. You’ve got tons of magazine or newspaper clips under your belt, you’ve been a freelance writer or blogger for years, but for some reason your web article stinks like an old, half-empty can of tuna fish. What gives? Writing for the web is different than print writing and blogging and making the transition takes a bit of tweaking. Just like a hunt for the strange smell in the fridge, let’s see if we can sniff out your web article’s issues: It’s Too Long Web readers have a shorter attention span. [Read more…]

Some Rainy Weekend Link Love
September 28, 2008. 1 Comment
I think making up my (supposedly) weekly link love posts is my favorite time of the week. It’s when I catch up on my RSS feeds and see what my fellow bloggers are up to. This, by the way, is why it takes me two days to show the link love – because I’m too busy reading and not getting busy with the writing. A little announcement before I start my little lovefest. BlogTalkRadio is planning a major all day broadcasting event for BlogAction Day. I’ll get more details out but we’ll probably be looking for sponsors, guests and co-hosts. [Read more…]

What do you miss from your pre-pro-blogging days?
September 26, 2008. Leave a Comment
I’ve only been blogging for money for about two years now give or take. Before that, I still blogged, I just blogged for me alone, and for no pay. I still wrote, I just did so in other writing venues. Since I started blogging for pay, I’ve noticed that I miss a couple of things from before; when I only blogged for fun. What I miss… I miss reading blogs: I know, that sounds kind of funny; a blogger who doesn’t read blogs. I DO read some blogs, but not as many as before, and also, I sometimes feel like [Read more…]
Writers and Editors – Friends?
September 25, 2008. 10 Comments
As a freelance writer, you get to meet all sorts of people and often you make some unlikely friends. I’ve been lucky to cultivate friendships among many of my interview subjects and some of my editors, however, friendships with editors can be a dicey subject. Editors often feel besieged by writers who want to be “friends,” but that friendship often entails the writer really only being friendly enough to get a writing job. Writers are also weary of friendships with editors because they fear being taken advantage of. So can writers and editors be friends? Well, there’s friendly and then [Read more…]

September 25, 2008. 6 Comments
by Deborah Ng As you know, I’m just back from the BlogWorld and New Media Expo conference in Las Vegas. Now that I had a little time to rest up and catch up, I can tell you I had a blast. And though it was an even better time this year than last year, I can also tell you it was a lot more work. A few people asked me if I could touch on why I attend conferences and it’s my pleasure. Networking The most important reason for me to attend a blogging or writing conference is to network. [Read more…]
Blogging Wages: How Low Will You Go?
September 24, 2008. 3 Comments
We’re having an interesting discussion at the Performancing Hive forum today about wages. At Freelance Writing Jobs, it’s our policy not to post any gig paying below $10. As one employer pointed out though, a job paying $5 for a post might add up to $10 – $15 per hour if one can write a post in ten to fifteen minutes. I can agree with that. When deciding whether or not to accept a blogging wage, consider the following: How much work is in involved in writing the post. Will you be expected to research or interview? Are you expected [Read more…]
