I was confused by Mike’s original post on this as well, thanks for clearing it up Cheap.

Two saavy businessmen indeed. I like the comparison to the cake cutting.

Ohh, you guys need a series, “Pimp My Post!”

Congrats to both of you!

DGI – if you have something you think is worth $20 then send it on over.

Cheap – “pimp” – I like the sounds of that…

DGI: Mike should get a bunch of us writing posts and he can be the blogging “pimp”!

Actually, since you have been posting around 20 articles/month and givne the traffic and RSS readership at FP, I would have been surprised if your site didn’t make at least $20/post.

So can I also apply for a position in case my blog suffers from any dividend cuts?

This sounds fair. I hope the business relationship stays as friendly as it sounds under the new terms. Thanks for clearing it all up as I did quite understand what the difference was after reading the original post.

Nurse – I think I’d be an ok boss. Truth is though I still think of Cheap as a partner – although the exact partnership has changed with the ownership change.

Jerry – If you can write posts for $2 each then there may be a position opening up here real soon! (note to Mr. Cheap – I’m just kidding!)

Potato – yes, we do.

You guys pull in enough ad revenue to cover $20/post?!!

I hate it when money breaks things, and this was an example of that. I suppose if there’s enough money involved, it would only happen sooner than later

It’s sad to see it not work out, and even worse that money comes before passion about something. I don’t think I can ever write for money (except SQL Server T-SQL code), but for my blog to monetize it’ll take forever anyway

Sob sob, I’m only paid $2/post elsewhere
