Sorry Keri i didn't receive any private message from you, and i just don't know that including the website only once the relevant, I again check my inbox at here in moz and didn't see any message from you. Thank for nice tip here about my question.
Should i check my email inbox or just moz private massaging (I didn't receive messages in Moz private message) ?

I have a slightly different suggestion, and it's about what not to do. I have emailed you privately, but have not heard back, so I apologize but I need to put this in the public forum. Please do not include a link to your site in every single question, response, and comment you make. It makes people think that the only reason you are writing is to get a link, and will result in thumbs down on your answers, and eventual banning from the system if it continues. You are welcome to include the URL of your site when it is relevant to the question, but only when it is directly relevant.
Regarding your question, will you be writing in English, or writing in your native language? Do you have expertise in the area for which you are writing? The quality of the writing itself and of the content will help determine the type of price you can get for selling your writing, or how often people will come to your site to see your content.

Hi!
If your purpose is "to make some bucks", I don't see how you can do this in the short run by creating your own blog.
Building your own blog, if your content is good enough and you are able to engage with users, will help you make your web and your brand more relevant. This way, you will be more likely to increase your quality traffic and your sales as well. Also you can have some income with advertising. It's more of a long term strategy and will have an impact on your social reputation.
On the other hand, writing content for another company will only benefit you on the present. Yes, you will have an income instantly but you won't build any reputation and will be giving credit for your work to others.
It all depends on your strategy. If you are a good writer I'll go for the long term.
Hope it helps!

What Are The Pros and Cons of Writing About the Same Topic Several Times?
I am working on a website that has been publishing content for years. Some of the content is 6 or 7 years old! Daily, I am re-writing, updating, or deleting old content, and adding new content. We have covered every topic under the sun (within our niche market), and sometimes new content is similar to old content in some way. Or, we are answering the same question a dozen different ways. I have always assumed this was correct for SEO, but I was challenged on this notion today and now I am questioning the practice of writing content that could be the same (or similar) as the old content we have written. What are the pros and content of creating "duplicate" content, provided it is never an exact carbon copy of our older content.

I allow authority sites to republish my blog articles, which then outrank me
Hey everyone. This is my first question here, I apologize if it has been covered before. I have a health and nutrition blog [authority nutrition] that has been up since December 1st, 2012. I've managed to write quite a few viral articles which have given me a bunch of natural links and a domain authority of 49, which I think is pretty great for such a new site. Haven't done any link building and everything is 100% white hat. Getting good rankings and good traffic already, so I can't complain. My only (1st world) problem is that sometimes major authority sites (DA of 70-95) republish my content. I always say yes if they ask me first, but some of them just republish without even asking. My articles are always indexed on my blog before they get republished, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. These sites always clearly link to the original URL, but they often tend to outrank me for the keywords I was targeting in the articles. They tend to rank in the top 5, but my original article is nowhere to be found. I plan on continuing to allow these sites to republish as I get powerful links and good traffic from them, but it's a bit frustrating that I don't seem to get the credit as the original source. I've already set up Google Authorship, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there anything I can do to make sure Google recognizes my article as the original and chooses to rank my site instead of the authority site that simply republished my article?

Onsite Blogging Vs Guest Blogging
Hey all! I have a limited amount of time allocated to writing instructional blog posts for my company. When I complete an article I can do whatever I want with it: pitch it as a guest post on an industry blog, or post it on my company's onsite blog. I know there's not a magical solution regarding the percentage of time one should devote to guest blogging v. focusing on the company blog, but I figured I'd throw the conundrum out to the Mozzers anyway. In your opinion, how many of your writing resources should be devoted to guest posts, and how many should be devoted to maintaining the onsite blog? What if our onsite blog isn't currently receiving a lot of traffic? Thanks! Meg
