We see offers on the internet that sound so great. Then we see a price tag like 7 day trial. Then we see the bill $59 monthly or $124 yearly. The prices can be large. Especially when you don’t have the money and when you are out of a job. It’s another bill that might take your whole entire savings and checkings. What about a free plan or pay as we go plan? There’s no need to bother the trial when you know you won’t be able to make the payment down the road.
So you decide to make a blog, and you think you’re signing up with a free plan. They tell you that you can blog all that you want until you find that your space is limited. Then they want you to pay something for storage every month. You want to monetize your blog and they want you to join a premium plan. So you can’t make cash on your blog, and it’s not your blog. People are moving away from that to find where there is no limit. Some podcasters do it all the time in podcasting.
You might be wondering where you can find a great writing program. I don’t think there are any great ones anymore. You really want to do what you love and make some extra cash. All that people think about that put together the other kind of blogs similar to Patreon is selling products. Not everyone is a salesperson. All that you know is you want to write and maybe that’s what you do best and you want to get paid for it. But no, to make the cash, you have to sell or put up a tip jar for donations. If you don’t have a community interested in your content, it won’t work. There are just frogs and crickets. Then you have to choose Stripe and you might want PayPal for payment.
When you try to search for a writing program in the search engine, you will see a bunch of How to Blog. But you might be typing in get paid to blog. How to blog is not what you have typed. How to blog is what you get, or when you think you have found a platform that you like, it no longer exists.
Other blogs are offering you to put up a paywall. You may want your fans to be able to come to your work and read.
Also there are other blog platform owners that want you to write what they want you to write or you get rejected. You want to write what you want to write. They tell you that they train and all of that. They don’t get it. We just want to go freelance and write. With the blogs that want to check your work and teach you how to write, you can get rejected so many times. They may offer you big bucks, but you might not receive it. More power to the people that do.
