I wrote a lovely massage intake article and sold it to a trade magazine. It took me an hour to write the query. Four weeks to hear back and work out details of the piece. Another hour or two to write the piece. And another week to get paid the $200 I sold the article for. Now $200 is a pretty good price for a non-feature article and being paid within a week is practically unheard of in print work. So, all-in-all, I did very well for myself. But that $200 is over and gone. I similarly have a collection of alternative medicine posts on Examiner.com that took me about three hours to put together. Last month they earned me $25. $25 doesn't compare to $200 until you realize I will get paid ANOTHER $25 again this month. And the next month. And the next month. A year from now that five hours worth of work will have earned me many times the $200 I earned from the five hours worth of work I put into the print magazine piece. Thankfully I am able to repurpose much of my content. A quick rewrite of the massage article posted online means I can get the best of both worlds! :-) It's definitely NOT an either-or game as many writers are adept at both.

I've been paid up to 1,000 euros for a single article in print. Yes, you can make a four-figure sum a month writing for online publications, but it takes a lot of time and hours. Writing for print I've been able to make as much as 100-150 euros an hour. Well, web writing (for ad revenue) does pay quite poorly compared to writing for magazines.
