I’m dropping Today.com from my freelance writing arsenal (or should I say they're dropping me). I realize that my posting frequency stalled to a stand still. I only made two posts this month and I believe my lack of activity was duly noted. I received the following email yesterday (2/18/09) for changes that took place on 2/12/09: <blockquote>”This email is to let you know that your blog has been reviewed by an editor and your payment rates have changed. When reviewing blogs we look at quality, productivity, popularity, and potential. Taking those things into consideration we made a decision to change your rate this month. Your new program is $2.00 per 1,000 unique visitors. The new rate goes into effect 2009-02-12 ET. You will not be paid per post. Earnings already accumulated will not be affected by any rate changes. Posts from prior to the effective rate change date will still be paid at whatever rate you were on previously. It's important to note that the outcome of this review is NOT permanent. Every blog is reviewed once every 30 days. If your rate did not change this month it may in the future. If you aren't happy with the changes you have the next month to work hard at improving your blog before it is reviewed again. Be sure to log into our forum for blog tips from us and fellow VIP bloggers. Best Regards, The Today.com Team “ </blockquote> The good thing is that as of yesterday, I earned a little over the $50 minimum payment so it couldn’t have happened at a better time.

I seem to be moving along ok. So far, I've been approved for $17.77 in January and around $15 for February. It took awhile for my initial posts to be approved. I still have to get to that $50 notch to get paid, but I should receive some money in April. I'll let you know. Hey, great site by the way. I was referred here by http://onlinewritingincome.today.com/. Do you mind if I add you to my blogroll? Check me out and see if you would be interested in linking me as well.
