After my work on HubPages, my blog plus a whole lot of tweeting and twitpic'ing I have been approached by the editor of Rock Climbing UK to be a contributor, making this my first (albeit unpaid) online publishing 'job'
I just submitted my first post which will be published shortly, my profile can be found here:

Hey well done, James!
Pity you're not getting paid all the same..
I just read your profile - cool beans! Congratulations. I wish you much success.
A word of warning, there are plenty of blog owners who search for free writers on their site so they don't have to write themselves.
I would at least ask for some kind of revenue sharing option.
I have seen a few people end up writing for free for months, without ever getting a penny from website owners who promised some kind of benefits when things pick up.
On sites I own where I accept other authors I always offer at least a 50/50 revenue share option.
Thanks thisisoli, really appreciate the advice, I will look to pursue this!
far out!
if they ask you to become a regular contributor, that might be a good time to inquire about financial compensation of some sort. building a following on a visible site is good but you still need to protect your interests in the long run, including letting them know you have an interest in tangible rewards as well as intangible ones
congratulations!
Thanks cosette, I will use that as my benchmark then - if it becomes a regular contribution.
Really appreciate the advice!
That's great exposure for you. Don't forget to watch out for your own interests down the road though.
Thanks Shadesbreath, I'm going to have a think about this . . .
Great news! Congratulations! You first online publishing gig. That's awesome. Stick with it, and better things will come; including great income. Keep us posted.
Actually, I just had a look round the site and it doesn't seem to be monetised apart from selling climbing books - no adsense that I can see.
Maybe you should ask if you can use your Amazon affiliate there or something?
Hey izzy, the site is being overhaueld in a couple of weeks, amazon would be good I guess as I can incorporate that into my articles - thanks!!
Cool a thesis user - share this code with him:
.format_text .to_comments {visibility: hidden;}
(added to style sheet will remove the "comments on this entries are closed" text)
Congrats! I would push for more then Revshare though - see if he wants a partner instead - looks like your the only contributor besides the editor/owner?
The facebook link doesnt work.
it's always wonderful to get work published, i wrote two articles and got them published in a dog magazine...... my name was splashed all over the place, and i was delighted, but they did not pay me either.
Now i write more for pleasure, i do not agree with magazine using people though..... you should really be getting paid. Maybe it will lead to something for you in the future.
The world seems to be full of wanna be writers at the moment, the editors have a huge choice at their fingertips.
Very well done...
Anyway, its a beginning!
Everything will improve, I am sure!
Congrats!
Congratulations - Some people do it for fame and others for fortune. I wish you both in the long run.

I thought this kind of job was myth. Crossed my fingers all the way up until receiving my first check of $630, working only 5 hours a day. I feel faint. I'm gonna cash this baby right now.Tomorrow I'll up my hours.

I have been here for 17 months and today is the day when my 29 hubs have been viewed for 100.000 times. What do you think? Is that good? I'm quite proud.

Yeah!!!!! Wrote 'The End' a couple of hours after midnight! This project has taken several years, the book has been split in two, a new beginning and end written and a new storyline threaded through it. I'm not sure I would have started, if I'd known all this when I started lol!...
