I think sometimes as individuals we give up, lose hope or over think a minor process. Great post.

I'm a newbie freelancer who has asked myself this very thing. Am I cut out to be a full time freelancer? Do I have what it takes, especially when it comes to the business side? I really don't know at this point. I've had several content mill refusals, but I've had the excellents as well. I'll definitely be reading more of your posts in the future.

I've got memberships with a few that allow Canadians but never seem to find the rates high enough to be worth my while. I do know that some writers like them for gap filling work and they can be great for newbies (if you're in one of the "allowed" countries) so I like to share these leads as they come up. Cheers, Dana Hi Ashwin,

Now, Textbroker UK will stick to its territory and still now allow anyone from outside of UK. Ehow, I remember, allows you to write on their site but not PAY you if you are from elsewhere other than the U.S. Nutshell, I never bothered with the content mills. But you do have a point, especially if 120 words is all it takes :) Hell, geographic location is now the problem. even if I wanted to give it a try. My options are limited to Squidoo, Bukisa, and Hub pages, if ever. Dana,

I think the recent changes at Demand Studios have left a lot of US writers who earned most of their income from that one source scrambling. It's more important than ever to make sure all your income eggs aren't in one basket. Hi Jason, I hear you.

Us writers below level 4 are way too many and the work just not sufficient for us all. What a pity.... MY worry is that too many people will join textbroker UK as is the case with TB USA.
