As long as the website owner is the one setting the prices, a writer won't make much for their work. Which is why I chose to write content for my own websites instead of working for others. But I seem to have drifted off topic.

Don't sell yourself short! There are plenty of businesses out there desperate for decent writers, who understand the value of good writing, and who have the budgets to pay you. You just have to find them. I never realized how much it was possible to make as a writer until I read Peter Bowerman's book, "The Well-Fed Writer." He just released a sequel, "Back for Seconds." Both books include profiles of writers who are making big bucks at this working on their own terms.
