Written by Taylor - 39 Comments This discussion we’ve been having about whether bloggers should get paid for their work is fascinating, and I think it’s pretty great that the whole MwP community here has been so level-headed and thoughtful about it.

It's not commonly talked about, but it's something many bloggers use, even if they don't quite know it's what they're doing. Promoting your pillar post will be an ongoing project.

You’ll have more revisions than usual, and that takes time away from projects that earn you money. Don’t freak out that you don’t have a project to work on.

In a recent conversation, a writer told me that he hates projects about things that don’t interest him. This often happens when the project lacks a real strategy. You have to feel what others feel to write copy that connects with them. Have an interest in everything … and then some. You should know a little about everything.
