It's Just Business: Don't Take it Personally
January 30, 2009. Leave a Comment
I was struck by a comment made yesterday where one of our readers said that they were “insulted” when a prospective client offered a rate that was lower than they were prepared to accept. While I understand that is how the offer may have come across, I’m pretty sure that the people who are trying to hire freelance writers are not deliberately trying to be offensive.

How to stop obsessing about plagiarism – at least some of the time
January 29, 2009. 5 Comments
I went to bed more pissed off last night then I have in a very long time. And I rarely, if ever cuss online, (see previous pissed off statement) so now it’s official, I’m mad. Why? The big P. Lame people plagiarizing my work. Last night I went searching for a gov source about baby food textures. During that search, I completely by accident stumbled onto an eHow article that was mine. But not mine, because I’ve never personally written a word for eHow. No, my eHow name is ChristyQ. Lame old miss Q had taken a piece I did [Read more…]

Hit Your Word Count Every Time
January 27, 2009. 4 Comments
By Terreece M. Clarke It’s a normal predicament writers find themselves in from time to time – trying to hit their word count. Most of the time writers will end up with far more words than their editor asked for and need to find ways to slim down their article. Turning in an obese article isn’t an option. It says several things about the writer: I won’t bother doing what you asked me to do, you figure out how to make all of this fit, and I expect to get paid for the entire length of the article, aren’t I [Read more…]
Why Freelance Writers Should Include Employment Agencies When Looking for Work

While many of them are on-site contract opportunities for copy writers and technical writers, that doesn’t mean the agencies can’t help other kinds of writers find work, too.

Blogging: It's Not About Money….Is It?
January 26, 2009. 8 Comments
For the past few months I’ve been thinking a lot about this blog network. I sunk a lot of money into a redesign and sometimes I have the pay the bloggers here out of pocket, but I don’t have any regrets. Yeah, I do wish this network was more of a money maker, and I suppose if I left it as a single blog with only me blogging, I’d be making quite the profit. But it’s not about that, at least I didn’t think so. Then I had this conversation with someone after church yesterday, with a woman who is [Read more…]
Which online writing and blogging jobs pay the best?
January 26, 2009. 5 Comments
This week we’re discussing single parents who write online for a living. Writing for a living is rare depending on your niche, and I’d wager that freelance bloggers and web writers fall into an even rarer niche. Single parents who write online and blog AND make a good living probably fall into an even rarer niche. At least up to this point. The good news is that web writing gigs are on the rise. The Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2008-09 Ed. says these general writing jobs are where the best opportunities are: “Technical writing, blogging, and other writing for interactive media [Read more…]
Tips that can make working at home as a single parent easier
January 25, 2009. 3 Comments
In my last post I asked if single parents can successfully work at home and make a living writing online or blogging. In this post some reasons why you might try, and some basic tips. Why would you try something like freelancing as a single parent, especially when the odds are stacked pretty high against even non-single parent writers?: You have a small baby and would like to stay home to care for him. You’re homeschooling your kids – hard, very hard. Been there personally and it’s soooo hard. But it’s one reason. You don’t have reliable transportation to another [Read more…]
Can single parents make a living working online freelance writing & blogging
January 24, 2009. 4 Comments
I don’t know how many single parents read this blog, but I tend to blog what I know, so this week, we’re going to look at something I know a lot about, making a living freelancing as a single parent. You can look online and find hundreds of articles about how to make a million freelance writing, but in reality, I think the outlook is bleaker than people say. From most of the many writers and bloggers I talk to (not just single parents) money is short or just about on target vs. overflowing. If you’re a single parent the [Read more…]

Are You Blogging Because You Love It – Or Because it Pays?
January 23, 2009. 2 Comments
As an old school blogger I enjoy hearing about others’ passion for their topics when they blog. Knowing they feel as I do justifies all the long hours. Lately though I’ve been hearing a different take; folks blogging not because they love it but because it’s a “work at home” job. The passion isn’t there, instead they’re motivated by paychecks and thoughts of working at home. I get it. Who wants to go back to an office job? We’re seeing a new breed of bloggers now. It’s not only about sharing love for a topic or building up a community, [Read more…]
