While researching this site, I came across several companies that wanted writers to pay them as much as $1200.00 a year to submit their work! I am sorry, but that is insane! Why in the world would you pay to have good articles published? I cannot imagine to even imagine the concept.

It reminds me of the old scam where you pay a record company to produce your music. You may not want to hear this but.. If your music was good they would be paying you. Anything else is just an ego trip. Therefore, it is the same with some writers. They pay to have articles published so they can be plastered all over the web with articles NOBODY READS!

I've bought content. It is worth exactly what it saves me in research and effort. I can research just about any subject and write an article on it, but it takes time. I want to be compensated for my time, and you should too.

People still read good articles. They do. You just have to write them, they have to have some useful purpose. They should be somewhat unique. They most assuredly should be original, not the work product of someone else. Then people like myself will want them.
