Career of the Day: eArticle Writer

I've just submitted my first article to eZineArticle.com. It may be hard to believe, but I've actually done this career before! I've written many a freelance article for magazines and weeklies, and I've actually been paid for some of them. (For a long time, I thought the "free" part of "freelance" meant I wasn't getting paid.)

I've reviewed a lot of CDs and concerts in my time, sometimes traveling with bands to out of town gigs. I've also reviewed restaurants (being paid to eat? why in heck didn't I take that farther?!) and written feature articles. None of these gathered as much recognition as my letter to Glamour magazine's editor in response to an article. This letter appeared as the first one on the letters page, and for months I got calls about that letter, some from people I didn't even remember. Talk about the power of mass exposure!

It's understood that I'm not getting paid for online articles, but there are other expected benefits. Now I'm just waiting to see if it's approved and will go "live" on the eZineArticle.com website. Until then, I return to the continuing work of building my online kingdom.
