view payments or ad revenue, the freelance writer is now much more in control of their own content, and if the publisher they write for makes more money off their content because it performs well, the freelance writer also makes more money. It's really win/win for the freelance writer and the publisher.

However, keep in mind, as with any career, job, or business (and freelance writing is a business, after all) it does take time and dedication to build it to a level where you are breaking even, much less making a profit from your writing.

It likely won't happen overnight, but with time, dedication, and resolve to succeed, it can and will happen.

It's also important to note that residual income is truly the key to financial freedom. With paid by view or ad revenue freelance writing sites, you earn money every single day, every month, every year that the content you have written still exists.

Eventually, your content will build up to where you will make money off every article, every month, and you really will not have to do any additional work to continue earning from the work you did in the past. Keep writing new content, and that only adds to the old content that is already performing, and it will add up exponentially.

In the end, freelance writers need to understand that the world of freelance writing is changing rapidly, and to continue to be a contender in this field, the freelance writer needs to change and come into alignment with the new publishing models of today.

After all, writing for pay by view or ad revenue sites really puts the freelance writing much more in control of their own income, their own writing, and gives them more freedom to write about those things for which they feel passionate and still have the potential to make money.
