  • Excellent advice. Perhaps the best I have seen online on this subject.

    The hardpart of being a freelancer is getting paid on a regular basis.

    Having done this for 15 years, I can tell you I write for various publications-some smaller, some bigger-just to keep steady or near steady checks flowing.

    This economy hasn't helped either.

    I was doing just fine writing for magazines when the economy dipped and cost me moneys I could gotten from continued mag work.

    I still haven't recovered yet.
