Why Write for Suite101?
I’ve been asked this I don’t know how many times by other writers looking for writing jobs. My Suite 101 buddy Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen has just posted an article on her blog called “The Top 10 Reasons to Write for Suite101 ” that explains the benefits of Suite better than I ever could. One of the best parts of her article is when she talks about how Suite provides a steady stream of income:
“If you’re a freelance writer, you need multiple streams of income. You can’t rely on Reader’s Digest or Sports Illustrated for a steady paycheck, even if you’re the best freelance writer in the whole wide world,” Laurie writes. “Editors leave or get tired of your style of writing, and your paychecks dwindle or vanish altogether. So, one of my best reasons for writing for Suite101 is the steady trickle of income it offers.”
So true! Just the other day an editor wrote me an email saying, essentially, that places that pay ad revenue are sweatshops. What? I know many writers that make good money at Suite.
I keep getting paid no matter if I quit Suite or keep writing. My most viewed articles have made over $100 a piece so far and with every month that passes I’m still earning. That’s much better, to me, than the $30 I got paid for one of my articles getting placed in a traditional print magazine last month!

I’m always curious as to what people are earning at Suite. I began writing there a month or so ago and have 5 articles up. I can already tell that the passive income is going to be pretty good and I’m excited about posting more and having my income increase over time.
