However, editors asking me, the writer, to pay to put my content on their site has been a growing trend. Quite frankly, I found this a bit odd. Many websites are thrilled to have my content because they feel it is quality content, I promote the content to a new audience, and the site does not have to put in the work of creating content.

Just the other day and editor explained to me that my content could be featured on the blog for $700, and a few weeks earlier an editor wanted to charge me $250. Naturally, both blogs were very authoritative and had a list of reasons why their blog was so wonderful, but I couldn’t help but think to myself: Shouldn’t you be paying me?

I am the same way, I wouldn't charge anyone to post either...I have actually never heard of paying someone to guest post, but I dont think its necessary to do.

Some high ranking blogs charge a fee for you to write a blog post on there blog but we small folks don't have a large cash flow to waste online. I don't charge people to write on my blog and i will never pay money to write a blog post on someones blog.

A few days ago i wrote a blog post on the v7n blog for free. lol
