I was happy until Demand Media bought eHow. They stopped having people write how-to's and be paid per click. They offered me, get this, a one-time fee of two dollars and forty cents for each
Three or four years ago I was approached by an intermediary who produced content for a big box website; they wanted a piece on amaryllis. Now, I have -- how should I describe it -- a "recognizable" style, putting it charitably. I sent them a piece on amaryllis. They didn't like it. They wanted it edited down to essentially what you get on the tag in a boxed amaryllis with pot and soil. I did it and they sent me a check for, I think, four hundred dollars. Four hundred bucks for boilerplate. I don't understand the economics of that industry.
