    I wont be able to pay rent this month, what to do?

    HOT! 
    If rent is 'least' of your issues then why you have an issue with it? You really are not putting in your best. You have skills, you're not putting yourself in position to succeed by looking for a great job, even part-time. You'd be living like a king on part-time pay from any company. You may...

    Been there, tough situation. My question is why would you need to go to other countries to work on programming? It's perfect skills for remote work. You don't need to be in an office. Plus, if you're good, you could be working in Silicon Valley for a company that buys you a visa. I would try...

    Figuring Out Paid (and Free) Email Newsletters

    Freelance and Beyond was a good name, good idea... you just didn't write the right content for it. Looking at your archives, you were writing about starting freelance instead of sending info that helps freelancers move 'beyond'. Kinda jumbled up the content and intent...there was too much broad...

    The Basics of Pricing

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    Good thread.. but a bit too tactical maybe? Newbs and intermediate folks need to learn difference in Strategy for pricing. I think even more important lesson for Pricing is to learn how and why a Vodka company can launch a vodka that costs $50 or $80 and sell that and be a Premium product...

    Illustrator questions

    PUBLISHING 
    Having a Publisher doesn't help much at all. Takes a ton of time to shop the idea, then even if it got a book deal you'd have to wait more time to get published. Think delaying it 18 months.. and if you self publish you can get it done way faster and focus on writing next one.. and then you can...

    Illustrator questions

    PUBLISHING 
    Those prices for what? Whole book or cover? That's super cheap.. Good illustrator will charge $500 just for cover.. Depends on style too of course, so for some non-detailed illustrations maybe less.

    Illustrator questions

    PUBLISHING 
    I have worked with an illustrator for my clients covers. Do you have an idea for what you want on the cover? Main difference is pricing, usually Illustrators are more expensive. Because they have to draw by hand and that takes more time than Photoshopping stuff.

    Authors.me - A Website for Connecting Writers and Agents/Publishers

    Well, it looks like a good idea. Definitely still be on a lookout if you try. Read terms and conditions etc I'd give it a go for $19 a month for one or two months to see if it connects with agents.
