If you’re considering blogging for today.com so that you can take advantage of the $1.00 per 100 word post deal, perhaps you should rethink your options. I have been blogging on today.com for over 2 months now and as a freelance writer and marketing consultant, I always keep my ears to the grapevine when it comes to my money.

Apparently, there are some major changes going on at today.com that could significantly impact my moola. Well, here’s what I found out. Not only does the owner expect you to bring in 1000 impressions a day to remain in good standing to receive the $1.00 paid per post per day deal but they are well in their rights to change the terms of agreement as they sit fit. In fact, they can change the payment structure midstream as you are only guaranteed the $1.00 per post for the first month only.

As a business owner myself, I understand the importance of making a profit but I also believe in treating your employees and contractors with respect and honor and not changing their payment streams midstream. In the forums, the owner has taken the attitude “if you don’t like it take your writing elsewhere attitude.” Apparently he doesn’t want to be a “gravy train” to writers.Hello Mr. Today.com owner, $31.00 a month is not a gravy train to us and most of us wouldn’t even write for that amount. I gave today.com a try simply because it takes me like 5 minutes to write 100 words and I love helping people and making a difference in their lives. But, the truth of the matter is that I could make more elsewhere and I’m going to prove it.

In fact, I’m even doing an experiment. The first one will evaluate my newly created today.com blog and compare it with a newly created blogger blog. I am going to write the same amount of articles (covering similar topics) and then see which one makes me the most money at the end of my experiment.

My hypothesis is that my niche blog site is going to kick some today.com butt. I say this becuase once I stop writing posts, it will keep making me moola whether I write 100+ word posts or not.  Plus, I can also capitalize it with affilate links, etc.

So, my advice is if you’re considering blogging at today.com to take advantage of the $1.00 a day post, make sure you’re a good writer and an expert at traffic generation and that your blog can bring in 28,000- 30,000 impressions a month. Otherwise, you might just log into your account for a not so good surprise notice that says  you’ve been demoted.
