: Re: Should freelance writers keep their online business separate from offline? Freelance writers have a lot of opportunity to write online, but in some cases the rates are less than the same writing

This question appears to have an implied assumption that there are two types of freelance writing:

Print: High profile literary work that's difficult to get (aka “real writing”)
Example: writing for the New Yorker
Online: low paying and low respect, but work that's easy to do/get
Example: blogging for other people for pennies/post

If those were the only two options, then yes, it might make sense to keep the two separate—you wouldn't want the low-paying gigs to damage your reputation and keep you from getting the "real writing."

Of course, that's a false dichotomy, which makes the question as-is somewhat meaningless.
