Writing as a Hobby, Not a Job

Hello Everyone!  As writers, I think we all understand how much we put into our writing. We love what we do and continue to do it even if we do not get much in return.

That forum had several members and the forum owner was simply trying to boost threads and traffic. When that job ended, I began looking online for paid posting gigs. I signed up for at least 50 sites online that claimed to pay posters. Some require you to make posts to ...
