Well, my main writing site is phasing out revenue share articles. The old program, where I make a few bucks every month is going away.
Yes, they've offered me a buy-out equivalent to 5 to 6 months of earnings. No, I'm not taking it.
Why? Well, I make most of my revenue share money off a few articles, but they've all made a little over time. Mainly I don't want to give up my half dozen top earners. So I'm going to publish them all elsewhere, one by one. Maybe they'll all end up here. Maybe at the competition's websites. Don't know yet, it's way too soon to tell.
There are a couple of other issues too, including the fact that I'd be selling all rights to my entire library of articles posted on that website, and I'm just not comfortable with that. I also don't want to take down articles from the few other places I've published them.
So, there it is, I'm not selling my rev share articles. I'll rework and republish elsewhere. (And yes, I have a copy of every single one saved to my computer. I did that a while back when there were rumors flying...)
In the meantime, I will continue writing flat-fee articles and be happy for the income and the opportunity.
