I decided not to write anything for Fun Friday, because plenty of my fellow b5media business bloggers have written about Manufacturing and the [US] Economy. Of particular interest is this showcase of Miki’s poetic skills:
Are you tired of the Chinese deficit,
do you want to see less of it?
Are you waiting for the Feds to fix […]
After reading Victor Epand’s Great Freelancing Tips For Magazine Writers on workoninternet.com, I agree that most of his advice in on the up-and-up. Because above everything else, Victor wants you to value the worth of your writing (in terms of how much the magazine will pay you), and to meet deadlines.

Communicating ideas with as few words as possible has never been more relevant today, particularly when crafting headlines to attract the attention of the increasingly distracted online audience (DOA).

I’m finding Mark “Easy Money” Terry a bit boastful. But at least he complements his statements with a genuine discussion on when to work for cheap. To wit:

[T]he 15th edition of the CCH Tax Guide for Journalists. This free booklet was developed specifically for print and electronic news reporters, freelance writers and others who write for […]
As reported by Write Life Guide, Transitions Abroad is looking for writers for their website. Average rate is $1 per 10 words, at a maximum range of $150 for 1,500-3,000 edited words.
What do you guys think of the rate? Personally, I think it’s very appealing for so-called third-world countries like my own, where the minimum […]
b5media recently added some mobile blogging functionality to Contract Worker, so I’m trying my hand by writing this post on a cellphone.
It helps that I’m quite the prolific texter, since it lets me maintain a decent pace writing on a numeric keypad. Still, it’s quite tiring. Maybe if I used one of those phones […]
The catchy rhythm of 50 cent’s Ayo Technology has been streaming out of my laptop speakers lately, and while the hip-hop song is full of the misogynistic boastings that characterizes the genre, there is a hidden nugget that freelancers and contract workers can learn from.
During the chorus, Justin Timberlake chants: “I’m tired of using technology, […]
We’ve already talked about building a portfolio with personal projects, and I suddenly realized that our dreams are the perfect source for project ideas.
