This is taking chances month at the b5media.com business channel. We’ve been challenged to do something slightly differently. Hence my call for guest bloggers the other day. (And you’re still welcome to submit one, or two, or… )
I’ve also changed the tag line - no, not the one under the logo on top (more about […]
Yielding Wealth, a b5 blog, pointed to a blog that’s new to me called The Simple Dollar; the article in question is: From Budgeting to the Net Worth Mentality
This is an excellent article and if you’re at all like me, you’ll probably learn something. The idea of moving from budgeting or spending plans to thinking […]
SlackerManager has a guest post called: Productivity Tip: Know When You’re In the Red The author, Sandy Renshaw, has devised a way to make sure she knows when a project is pro bono and when it’s paid.

If you’re watching or listening to the news, or reading newspapers, you’ve got to be aware of how much talk is going on about the slowing of the U.S. economy. This kind of “news” drives me nuts, because it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
None the less, I can’t stop a recession by positive thinking and […]

One of the keys to a successful freelance writing business is shameless self-promotion. Freelance Switch lists 12 ways freelancers can promote themselves, and most of them do apply to writers.

When I think about how I learned to charge clients what I’m worth, I realize a major part of it was becoming comfortable talking about money. I mean really comfortable - with everyone.
I don’t know where I got the notion that nice people don’t talk about money, but somewhere I picked that up. When I […]
Last week I asked Would You Still Write If You Had A Million Dollars? I was delighted that the comments indicated most of you, like me, would indeed to continue writing if money was no worry.
I was also delighted when both Darren Rowse of Problogger Fame and Mark Silver, of Heart of Business both linked […]
It often happens that freelance writers don’t have much, if any retirement plan. It doesn’t have to be that way.
