It all depends, what kind of writing? What kind of magazines?
Some do, but most do it just for extra money. Remember that only 5% or so of all authors earn a living at it. Get a copy of Writers Market 2007 and scan the magazine section in the back. Maybe some of them are looking for your type of material. Start slowly, sell a few articles and establish a reputation. Pax — C
Networking, reputation for polished writing, ability to consistently meet deadlines, and an understanding of the writers’ market are all vital to becoming a successful magazine writer. It does take time though.
In the span of last month I’ve gotten paid $0.75 per word and $1.50 per word. The best I’ve pulled in is $2.50 a word from a well respected national publication for a piece last October.
It depends on what magazines you’re writing for, what you consider a “decent” amount, and what rights you sell. Keep as many rights as possible because reselling your rights multiplies your income and frees your time to write new articles and do your marketing. I’m assuming since you said “article” that you’re referring to non-fiction. Since most of my 3-figure sales were fiction, non-fiction isn’t my forte, but, in general, most freelance writers make less than they would at a 9-to-5 job. -
I would love to know if there is. I am having such a hard time in this economy i would do anything possible for quick and easy pay. im am struggling in the economy and it is hard to find work.
