I moved to Jamaica (dental work is so much cheaper here than in the states) before I could take him up on it, but that would have been worth THOUSANDS. <br /><br />So yeah, "trades" can work!Yuwanda Blackhttp://inkwelleditorial.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-54738249270566642832016-11-15T06:02:47.636-08:002016-11-15T06:02:47.636-08:00Karen,

Perks can be lovely. Especially if they save you money or provide for free, things that you would likely purchase.

For example, one parenting magazine doesn't pay their writers, but they do offer me a sizable ad in exchange for my articles. (The ad value is $250.) Most of my online teen writing students have signed up through these ads, so it does translate to money in the long run.
