This past week, we covered: ebooks, freelance writing jobs, blogging, how much you charge for your writing services, NaNoWriMo prep, and more on the blogs.
It’s been a BUSY week. If you missed our Monday Madness special offering, there’s 24 hours left for you to take advantage of it. It’s time for you to get the dream writing jobs you want and deserve.
And if you’re a professional writer, and need help, there’s a “I Need More Help With…” poll (and a freebie for you), on my freelance writing blog.
The holiday shopping period is coming up. This means income to canny writers. Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be covering how you can make the holiday shopping period work for you. In a nutshell, if you help others to make money, YOU’ll make money.

Cheap, Cheaper, Cheapest: Is YOUR Writing a Commodity?
