However, it became a chore when the sites began requiring a certain number of submissions per week. When it becomes an obligation, I no longer consider it beneficial.

As no one has yet offered to pay me for my writing, free is all I have! I look at it as an investment for the future. Hopefully, this free writing will all pay off one day. I do bill pretty high for technical consulting writing in my field, but that seems to be pretty soft market right now. Very good list.

So it does have its benefits, and it definitely gets my work out there. As long as I can find enough work to keep the finances ticking over, Im more than happy :) I write a lot for free, too, though usually I do get something in exchange, as my topic is music, and that tends to come with tickets, interview ops, CDs etc that you get to keep for yourself.
