  • I've read these blog fights. It seems to me, after a weekend of "reality TV" (whatever happened to story telling?), that society has dissolved into point scoring. There is little concept of a bigger picture or truth, just that someone (or a group) can nitpick/cyber bully someone to leave that on-line community.
  • I've haven't personally been involved in on-line mud slinging, but a well-known blogger that I follow on Twitter had gotten into one of these back and forth, go-no-where, beefs a while back. I told him to simply chill out and ignore the other party. Life is too short and this petty bickering resolves nothing and can go on endlessly.
  • Just read an interesting article on TechCrunch about blog fights. I've never had the um, pleasure... any of you ever get into some down-and-dirty, no-holds-barred fights on your blogs or sites? I ask because I'm interested in how people interact online. Seems people say things online they would never say to your face... and I do wonder how this is shaping us as human beings, since most of us now spend more time interacting online than with other live human beings...
  • Hi Evelyn, I would say, if you can, work out an average figure for that site. So if, for example, in one month they paid you $100 each for five 500-word articles, plus an extra $50 for PV's, that's $550 total, which equals $110 per article or $0.22 a word.

     

    Donna, you can select multiple options on the survey; so you can check the boxes for $25, $50 and $75 per post if you wish.

     

    Any other questions, just holler!

  • And there's also the issue of blogging for multiple sites that pay vastly different amounts, so one could, possibly, need to select $25, $50 and $75 per post, or more... Btw, great to see you again last night Evelyn!
  • Good suggestion, Donna.  Also -- how to handle one of the the websites I write which pays a flat fee per article plus an additional monthly bonus based on PVs for all my articles on the site that month, so I have no idea clue which article is generating additional payment or how much, but I do, indeed appreciate the bonus bucks.
  • You might want to fix the amounts on the survey so they aren't duplicated and people won't have to choose between two answers.  E.g., if someone make $20 per post, do they choose $15-$20 or $20-$25?  It's better to have $11-$15, $16-20, $21-$25, etc.
  • Survey on travel blogger payscales: Find out how much your colleagues are (or aren't!) making. Results of this quick, anonymous survey will be posted here in Media Only on Monday, January 31, 2011.
