Writing a Newspaper Column

Money

If you were a columnist on staff with a good sized newspaper, you should be making enough money not only to feed your family but allow them to live indoors. In fact, your indoors might be very plush indeed.

If you happened to be a freelance columnist at that same newspaper, you might be paid $40 for the same size column. That’s the bad news.
