It takes too much time to write anything that is well-written and well-researched to give it away. There is enough on my website and my personal blog for a potential client to determine if I can write well. <abbr><em>Rosemary O'Briens last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WritingMilitaryMom/~3/524940462/what-have-been-rewards-and-benefits-of.html">What have been the rewards and benefits of participating in the blogging community?</a></em></abbr> I definitely do not see the value of writing for free.

I own everything I put up on the site though, and can repost it anywhere I want. Usually, I use posts there on my newsletter and vice versa. If I couldn't repost the stuff (and have a byline) I wouldn't do it! <em>Kristie McNealy's last blog post..<a href='http://www.kristiemcnealy.com/donor-eggs-part-3-choosing-your-egg-donor/'>Donor Eggs Part 3: Choosing Your Egg Donor</a></em> I write for one site for free, in a once a week editor sort of position.

Periodically I would take on a project for peanuts to help out someone if, and only if, I was in an extremely slow period and it was a no-brainer project for me. I supported my family on my ghostwriting and could not have done so by writing for crumbs. Ah no, I gave up writing for free years ago.

I look at who the person is, what the site is about, if it fits my business, what the requirements are, and what I get out of it. I hate to hear about situations such as the one you discussed here in the post. <em>LaTara Ham-Ying's last blog post..<a href='http://www.veganfamilyliving.com/surfing-for-savings'>Surfing for Savings</a></em> I write for free but I am very selective.
