With outsourcing and the emergence of popular sites like Elance and many others, writers and bloggers are easily and inexpensively available for hire. This is the reason why people are hiring from these places and avoiding seasoned bloggers. You will ask for $100 to write a review; they will get it done for $10. I am afraid this trend will only get worse. It is true.

(and by both answers above I mean writing / blogging jobs for others) (I also don't mean the particular poster on hive that started that thread when I stated the above) Advertising wise - it's a tougher market for everyone - and I don't think anyone really sees any major improvement in the near term - 2nd/3rd quarter 09 is the best estimate I'm seeing right now. Matt Short answer: No.

Advertising wise – it’s a tougher market for everyone – and I don’t think anyone really sees any major improvement in the near term – 2nd/3rd quarter 09 is the best estimate I’m seeing right now.
