		<description>I much prefer writing for the web for the same reasons: faster publication, faster pay and often payment comes upfront. Most of the time, I write without a byline for small businesses and I give up all rights but I don&#039;t mind--I usually wouldn&#039;t spend the time selling reprints anyhow. Though I wouldn&#039;t mind a paying gig that would allow me to write how-to articles with my byline on a more regular basis. (WINK)</description>

		<description>Sorry, that&#039;s not entirely true. I have done some work for $0.20-0.80/word, but it&#039;s been rare.</description>

		<description>Online, for most of the same reasons, but so far, I pretty much still made 4-20 times as much in print than online. Haven&#039;t tapped the source of anything beyond $0.10/word, and the latter very recently.</description>

		<description>Personally, I&#039;m starting to feel that web writing is a better gig.  I just turned down a print job that would only pay 30c a word, plus I had to blow time researching, interviewing, AND the publisher wanted me to attend that industry&#039;s association events and represent them.

The sad thing is, some other writer is going to accept work at that crummy rate, when they&#039;d be better off marketing their services on-line, and accepting only the better-paying jobs.

I know it&#039;s hard to knock back work when the rent is due, but there&#039;s a reasons writers are amongst the most poorly paid professions in the world (if not rock-bottom). 

At least on-line, you have a far larger pool of potential clients to pick and chose amongst.</description>
