It is nice to see such stong support amongst writers. As the purpose of this, and other sites, is to build up those who enjoy the art of writing and are looking for ways to combine what they love with what they need (money/income). I Always take away something positive or helpful, when that is my true purpose for reading in the first place. Thank you for your positive contribution to my personal bank of knowledge!

Hi, All I found this article truly inspirational and I congratulate you Emily for your inspiration, it’s just a lesson that if you want something go for it. And WOW I think you are very RUDE if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. Veronica

I found this article to be very helpful. I, too, have a success story about getting a writing gig through Freedom With Writing. I pitched a unique idea on how to save money on burial and cremation costs and Penny Hoarder accepted the pitch. I wrote my blog and made $75. I would leave the link here to show you that it did get published, but I don’t want to be accused of shameless self-promotion!

I thought it was really inspirational and I love the writing style of the author! Nice work, Emily-Jane! I couldn’t believe how interested I was in reading about brambles from my unfortunately non-woodsy apartment haha.

In reply to Victoria Engel. This was very informative if you read the intro correctly. This was an example of how she got out there. Not only did it inspire me, you don't get many writers that are willing to give you the whole message like she did. Your tone is irrenecessary<< how about that word? WOW you are rude.

To Victoria Engel:
I took understood the piece was an EXAMPLE of a writer who landed a regular blogging gig. Seems to me self-promotion is appropriate and may lead to more work for her.
REGARDLESS, I found your comments unnecessarily rude. WOW.

Tickled somewhat at the comment left by WOW. Just goes to show differing opinions and expectations of your readers. Personally, I was encouraged to read her journey and beginnings with writing for the publishers. It gives me direction and some form of what can be developed thru corresponding and just putting your stuff out there. I enjoyed it myself.

It’s GREAT to hear about this woman’s success but the provided links to her work are not helpful to the rest of us; instead they aim to further promote her audience/success.
The articles headline led readers to believe we were going to learn ways to promote ourselves as writers but we were misled as we were only offered links to the author’s gardening site and then to a book she wrote; neither on a subject I care ANYTHING about.
It was a sorry attempt at self-promotion.

And btw, “irregardless” is not, in fact a word. Can’t believe you OR your publisher’s didn’t catch that. The word would be “regardless.” Simply, regardless.
Wow.
