For full-timers....where do you find the bulk of your work?

I find the bulk of my work online. It is a mix of articles and blogging with a bit of copywriting thrown in for good measure. I have been published in print, but it has been less time consuming to work online while the kids are out of school.

Good question. You made me realize something. I write for both print and online, and my income is pretty evenly split between them. But while the income is roughly the same, the pay per assignment is generally lower. I might do better to pursue higher-paying print opportunities, but I'm really starting to like my online gigs better.

I'd say the bulk of mine is online -- I LOVE writing for MSN Health, they're my current #1 favorite all star client -- but writing for print magazines is a close second. I don't do anything else. Except for blogging, which I don't count as "work."

Print magazines make up the bulk of my work and income. Like ltd., the pay per word/project/hour is much better for print work. But I enjoy my online work and almost consider it "filler income." I enjoy it and it's easy to squeeze in the time to do it.

I guess you could say mine's "print", though not the type of printing I'd like! Most of my work actually comes from the corporate world - writing white papers and reports and that sort of thing. But I am slowly making my way into the newspaper and magazine world.

Whoops. I meant to say that the pay per word/assignment in my *print* work is lower than my online work.

Which is probably one reason I'm beginning to like online work better.

The huge bulk of my work is print although I do get some online income from my blog. Most is print magazine work.

The bulk of my work is in print (magazines, books, newsletters) but I have quite a bit of stuff online, too.

I do a lot of writing for businesses -- copy, web sites, press releases -- both for online and print materials. I find that businesses pay much more per hour and pay faster than publications. Having said that, though, I really like seeing my name in a byline. I try to fit in that sort of writing when I can.

Ltd, Wow! That dispells one very common myth. (That print pays better than Web.)

I typed mine correctly... my print pubs pay more than my online work, but I can turn around online work faster usually. And it pays faster, too.

Man, I'd love to blog about all these cool topics, but no time. Print deadlines.
