Are you writing articles to advance your career? A body of writing is essential for casting yourself as the go-to expert on your topic, which you should desperately want to happen for all of the great free publicity it brings.
It’s great to write articles for free and post them online when you’re looking to drive traffic to a website, but you may also appreciate the financial rewards, not to mention the status and credibility, you get from seeing your byline in print.
