Conny, I disagree, but thanks for stopping by to share your perspective.

My first piece paid $100, and that was when I was a pregnant teen. My daughter is now a senior in high school.

It can take years, yes, but it can also happen immediately. I’ve got a writer friend who made 6 figures her first year.

There are many variables that impact income, so I hope writers continue believing in their value and pursuing gigs that pay well.
