On: Who Pays Writers?

For real. Who pays writers? Readers.

[Veen → dondawest]

For me, it’s tech companies and executives who need (ghost-written) content but lack the inclination or ability to write their own stuff. You can make a decent living, but it’ll never make you rich.

Yes. It helps to live somewhere with decent healthcare too.

[sbisson → dondawest]

At the end of the day, yes. But we get our pay checks from the publishing companies that commission our words.

I got paid by buyers of my book and a startup that pays me for blogging.
