RE: [GWL]: Digest for Gardenwriters@topica.com, issue 201


Hello all:
    Doug, I can relate to you in the university/computer experience!
    My concern with new media, especially on-line, is that people aren't
used to paying for it. (i.e. when you started charging for your q&a
newsletter).  While computer users will go to the net for their gardening
information, they seem to want it for free. Where does that leave garden
writers?
    Easy to say we should be marketing our services to set up and write
content for garden businesses/seed companies, etc.. I'm working on that.
Unfortunately, our major Canadian gardening website  www.icangarden.com does
not pay its writers. I'm still trying to figure out how they get so many
people to write for them, and some are well-known writers too.
    In any case, I enjoyed your rant.
Cheers
Carol
