That bad time in the life of every web site when the new blog post asks you for money. Yes.
Let's keep it short. Four more Bill Busting posts and a few more moth posts are waiting to be funded. So are a handful of HARO articles--answers to questions newspaper and magazine writers put up on a writing site. Or you can propose a topic that interests you, even one that links to your web site.
Despite the current inflationary spiral, the prices of blog posts have not changed. Short ones cost $5, medium and/or illustrated ones cost $10, long and/or profusely illustrated ones cost $15--approximately a penny a word.
"What's HARO?" some may ask. It was a writing site. It became a cell phone app, and lost me. Anyway it was "Help A Reporter Out," a site that featured everything from simple yes-or-no and multiple-choice poll questions to requests for someone to write a full-length magazine article. Many questions were for specialists in various fields; at least once a day someone would post a question for a doctor, veterinarian, insurance claims adjuster, etc. Others were general questions like "What are the cheapest grocery stores in your city?" and "What has been your experience with and opinion of flannel sheets?" One article that stands out in memory asked for comments on photos of how professional decorators had used trendy paint colors in setting up furniture displays in stores. Anyone could ask for anything on HARO. Still can, if they're willing to put up with stupidphones and apps.
You pick what you want to see on Thursdays, Gentle Readers.
(I was going to post this on Thursday, and then an unexpected but welcome odd job came up. So I'm not starving. I still have bills to pay.)
Today's (Friday's) post will be here in another hour or so...
