Freelance Rates – How Bloggers Can Set Their Rates
Setting freelance rates can be tricky. Often there is little information out there to see what others are charging (especially for bloggers), and even more often there is little guidance for the many variables from client to client.

The Newspaper as Specialty Publication
Tomorrow, I predict one of the best days in newspaper sales in several months. Despite all the stories of woe in the newspaper industry, don’t be surprised if you hit newspaper racks tomorrow to find them all sold out. How can that be in the midst of a recession and with an industry that is [...]
