What are these mythical areas that are willing to pay decent rates for quality writing? I have my passion, but I'm starting to think I need to look into a different beat that is more lucrative!!

But where in the Big World Wide Web do you actually find places that will pay you enough--for, you admit, very lightly reported articles--to feed the kids and pay the rent? (Google isn't really giving me hints, so I assume you may be writing anonymously.) Full disclosure: I'm an old-media editor. And I HATE it when writers think e-mailing a couple questions to someone counts as an interview, let alone reporting. It doesn't. I like your work–some of it is seriously inspirational.

But when it comes to research and inspiration, I still use the real world a lot. Good advice, I can save a lot of money using the Internet for my whole freelance correspondence.

You are obviously passionate about the topic. Surprisingly, my writing career started online. It was because of my online writing that I got print gigs. Usually it works the other way around. I too love online much better. But I find it hard to find well paying or even paying gigs. Right now, I write about fashion. Maybe that's why =) I am starting to branch out in to lifestyle, culture and health. I just have so many topics I could write about. I think branding oneself is also key. You have done an excellent job of that. Leo,

Like Aaron, I like the two-pronged approach. Some of good advice in here, to be sure, but my print commitments aren’t going anywhere. Like Aaron, I like the two-pronged approach.
