Joseph… we used to say the same thing about real estate agents when in what now seems a different lifetime the market would slump… roughly half or more of the agents would get out.

Re self-worth. Amen!

The thing I like about these sites is it’s possible residual income… small income, but enough of it adds up nicely.

I agree! Networking is key. I am a writer for Associated Content and often network with other writers. In fact, I’ve gotten advice and tips from the writers at AC and have earned a nice supplemental income as a freelance contributor for them. Just another resource to consider. Good luck!

It’s exactly during hard economic times that two things happen: writers with poor self-esteem drop out – leaving more work for us, so thanks – and companies realize that bad writing isn’t making them any money. So good writers are needed more than ever. About the self-worth part … if you don’t believe in your work, why would anyone else?

Writing is a job.
Marketing is part of the job.
What you’re marketing is yourself. Not your brilliant prose, not your encyclopedic knowledge of sprockets, not blogging about what you had for dinner. You.

Once you get that straight, there’s only two choices. Do the Work, or stop.
