No, if we’d gotten in trouble with each other, I probably wouldn’t be reading your blog. lol But we’ve shared conversation in some of the same posts every once in awhile.

Have you gotten in trouble with me there yet? Can’t play favorites with AFW readers after all. ;) But while the handle sounds familiar, you don’t jump out at me as one of the typical troublemakers in the community. So that’s good to know. :)

Mitch, out of curiosity, what’s your DP username? I often don’t connect posts / handles there with readers / comments here.

Man, I learn so much every time I read one of your posts. I have to say, though, that I actually had figured out this part of the pay thing when I started looking at the time it took to research certain things as opposed to writing other things I knew something about. I think I even mentioned something about it on the Digital Point forum.

For instance, I created a website for one client and asked him for content. He just never came around, but luckily, I knew a big part of his business, so I just wrote it and shared it with him. Charged him for the writing time also, but he loved it, so it was all good.

Of course, I wouldn’t be mad getting more of those in the pipeline.

Oh, and as a side note, I started at $12 per page…until I got smart and realized that $105 was more realistic for all factors involved.
