		<description>Also, Chamella...I forgot to add :) 

I&#039;m proud of 100% of my work. That&#039;s why I link everything I write on the website. I have absolutely nothing to hide. I urge you to head on over to the site and check out the testimonials section and contact any of my many clients (including the leads at the content sites I work for) to hear how happy they are with my work. 

At the end of the day everyone&#039;s vision of what is &quot;quality&quot; is different. All that really matters is if I&#039;m proud of my work, my clients are happy with my work, and I continue earning a paycheck for what I love doing. I&#039;m accomplishing all of that and more, so as far as I&#039;m concerned, I&#039;m successful. But don&#039;t take my word for it! Go ahead and contact some of my past clients and find out for yourself!

		<description>Hi, Alex, thanks for taking the time to comment :) 

If you take the time to read my post, you will notice I never said that I personally make 100k. I simply show it is possible to do so using purely content sites. 

I&#039;m proud of the work I&#039;ve done over the last two years. As you can see from the testimonials at my website, I excel at what I do. In fact, I would urge anyone who doubts my credibility to simply hop on over, check out the testimonials section, and contact any of the people referenced. You can also check out some of my published clips via the bio page. 

You will also notice that I split my time between fiction writing and content writing, and that I&#039;ve only been doing this for two years. In those two years I have managed to accomplished an amazing amount of success doing things in a very non-traditional manner, simply based upon the quality of my work and my reliability to turn a deadline, write quality content, and give my clients exactly what they want...content sites or traditional clients alike. 

Sometimes things really are as simple as they sound. In fact, I&#039;m more than happy to offer you a consultation, on the house, and show you exactly which steps you can make towards bettering your own career :) Hope to talk to you soon!

		<description>Chamalla: 

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you :) The easiest answer to your question is to head on over to my website and read this article (http://www.completewritingsolutions.com/2009/12/what-is-success-and-how-do-i-achieve-it/) 

I write content for the paycheck. I write fiction for the art. I make a distinct separation between the two. I&#039;ve actually been debating selling my fiction in 2010 under a pseudonym to further separate the two. I liken it to what Sir Laurence Olivier had to say about theater versus film. He did films for the paycheck and theater for his passion/art. 

I look forward to hearing more of your comments over at the main site!

		<description>TW - how much of the writing you do for content sites are you really, really proud of?  If you can research, write, edit and proof 4 500wd articles in 60 minutes, how much effort do you put in to create something you think is worth reading?  Do you write for an audience or do you write for a paycheck? 

I respect your choice, and you are certainly correct in your oft repeated statement &quot;There are many paths to success!&quot; but I think perhaps you define success differently than the Oldster Writers you seem to think so little of.   To you, success is the money that adds up in your bank account; to them, it&#039;s the satisfaction in knowing every piece of work they put out into the world is the very best they can create. 

When I get the impression you love words and language and the ART of writing as much as you love talking about churning out as much as you can as fast as you can, I think I can take your arguments a bit more seriously.</description>

		<description>I find it really hilarious that people who claim to be making $100K a year on freelance writing flog their links on Linked-In and guest post on little-known blogs.  Wouldn&#039;t they be using their time to rake in more of that easy dough? Everyone is an &quot;expert&quot; on the Internet. Be careful who you listen to. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.</description>

		<description>The article made me roll my eyes. Sure, theoretically, if you grind out enough $5 articles, you can make $100,000 a year. But show me one actual person who is sitting down and writing an article every six every minutes, eight hours a day, five days a week, 50 weeks a year. And beyond that, even if someone had the ability to do that (which I doubt), how many people would want to turn themselves into content mills? Who wants to spend their days and lives grinding out an endless stream of crap as rapidly as they can, knowing if you take 8 minutes instead of 6 minutes your profit margin goes to hell? It sounds like a simply horrible life to me.</description>

I&#039;d comment on this at length, Anne, but my BS detector just bent its needle. It&#039;s still on warranty, and if I hurry, I can get it to UPS before they close.

		<description>So because you don&#039;t like or agree with what someone says, you assume it&#039;s an infomercial and then leave a website of which you&#039;re a long-time reader? These writers chose to invest their time in this conversation because they wanted to. This guy is not the reason they didn&#039;t spend time marketing their businesses; no one forced them to debate. I just can&#039;t believe some people get so up in arms about a subject simply because they disagree...

		<description>Oh my. Some like TW&#039;s article... see comments, others hate it. I disagree it&#039;s an infomercial for his services, and if it is, it&#039;s in the wrong place. This is an unlikely place to sell writing services. 

As far as the time invested by others in this conversation, I agree. There are probably better ways to spend time. OTOH, I think the discussion here and elsewhere about so-called content mills is probably important. I&#039;m going to blog about that. 

Sorry to lose you.</description>
