Many times I see people giving away their learned expertise for pennies and it really undercuts the value of what we as professional bloggers can do. I know as I am in the business and see it first hand every day. www.bloggersforhire.com We are right now doing this for over 40 companies and I hate to see how much work the blogger puts in and the amount they are willing to pay.

I guess I do write a lot about self-discipline, motivation, work ethic, and responsibility, because I have to remind myself of those issues/virtues from time to time too. Writing has always come pretty naturally to me... I tend to write the way I speak, just without the um's and ah's. Thanks for the link!

No big gigs yet as I'm slowly working out my workspace at home. (thinking of moving it actually) but with the Go Ahead from work allowing me to Work from home, I can probably take on more freelance projects too :) I do Freelancing web development.
