Insurance, especially health insurance, is a tough subject for most freelance writers (all types of freelancers, actually) to face.
I’ve searched and found free insurance quotes both online and off line myself. But I’ve never found health insurance I can actually afford. Part of that is my health and my age. I’m relatively healthy, but I’m also quite overweight and I’m just a few years from qualifying for Medicare.

I posted an article recently about writing online content and how to utilize it on your website and others’ websites. This subject fascinates me and I think it’s an important way freelance writers can make money online if done well and done consistently.

One of the questions constantly debated by those who write for the Internet is this: Should you write content and put it on other websites, or should you focus your time on writing content for your own blog or website?

From time to time, I still hit the temp agencies looking for part-time or temporary work. (We all gotta eat and pay the bills, don’t we?) One of the odd things I see about most of these agencies is the way they are divided into such specialties.

How do you write about something when you can’t figure out how to do the research, or you simply cannot find information you need?
If you’re writing non-fiction, you could have a problem; with fiction, happily, you can just make it up.

So, at this point I’ve not had any one take me up on the little writing challenge-exercise regarding researching and writing articles related to best acne treatment products. I thought someone interested in writing online might jump in there and give it a shot.

The last article I put up here had to do with doing massive amounts of online writing as a career choice, or as part of an online career choice. I mentioned someone I know at a forum who writes thousands of words of online content daily to earn money.

I am absolutely amazed at some of the people I’ve met at a membership forum I joined a few months ago. I’m talking about people who are able to write 10-15 decent 400-500 word articles DAILY for blog and website content.

Just suppose you had a chance to make some quick money writing for various websites. You’re a freelance writer, with a varied background in all sorts of writing. Now suppose your first challenge was to write a short piece of ad copy (no more than 200-300 words) about the best colon cleanser the world has ever seen, or so says the company for which you’re working.

How are “smartphones” changing your life as a writer? Or are they?
I confess that I’m sort of a “Luddite” when it comes to cutting edge high-tech (if you’ve been around here often, you probably already figured that out), partly by nature and mostly because of budgetary constraints, should we say?
