The bigger authors at SA seem to skew the average earnings of an article quite a bit as my articles have averaged about $80 year to date compared to the $120 average. Admittedly, I don't always write about stocks that get tons of page views, so that probably plays into it too.<br /><br />TMF's pay for a published article (typically 500 to 1,000 words) is $140, which takes me about 4 hours from start to finish. The time commitment overall is about the same as SA per article for quite a bit more pay in my case.<br /><br />I have contemplated a MP service on SA in the past, but have never went that far beyond contemplation due to other commitments. Maybe at some point I'd consider a service, but I'd really prefer more of a partnership with someone to split a workload and offer more of a comprehensive service.Kodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484791253913994682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013933046767545914.post-74401152555151584842021-07-26T09:06:50.202-07:002021-07-26T09:06:50.202-07:00Kody,

If I could go back in time I'd try to make the jump earlier but the transition now would be quite difficult with my family relying on my income. I'll keep working towards it though and writing on Seeking Alpha as well. Out of curiosity does TMF pay considerably more than SA? And have you thought of the marketplace services on SA as another option? I've considered it but don't know if I have enough available time to commit to it as I would like. All the best in the new endeavor.Passive Income Pursuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947101854482544346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013933046767545914.post-14054491100013660812021-07-24T19:31:48.556-07:002021-07-24T19:31:48.556-07:00Thanks for the support and commenting!

We never really discussed going part-time for the reason that my employer basically knew that I wanted to do this full-time at some point and had been working toward it for the past few years.

Given that it sounds like you built a great relationship with your employer, did you consider asking to go part-time and/or remote while you ramped up your writing? That would save you time and money as you continue to establish yourself as a freelancer. Just a thought and best of luck with everything!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
