I found myself answering a forum question again:
I don’t know anything about Craigeslist, but as a publisher, I do know that publishers do not place classified ads… tip-toe carefully when dealing with publishers who place classified ads, they are more often than not a scam. The average publisher is so swamped with submissions that they do not need to place ads in classified or on Google and anyplace else for that matter.
If you are just starting out, and want to test the waters, (and get paid for it) I’d suggest you set up three accounts:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/
(You don’t get paid much from any of these, so far Squidoo pays me the most, I make about $34 a month there; but every little bit helps, right?)
On each of these sites, you write short articles (400 – 1000 words is average), and post them. Than you get paid depending on how many people read your article… pay per click.
It’s not enough to make a living on, but it is a way to get your name out there, and editors and publishers often find (and buy) articles they want to publish, via these sites.
On Squidoo, you “build” an entire web page for each article… it’s a lot like building a blog each time you write an article, so you should have at least a little bit of knowledge useing a blog before you try Squidoo. Onvce you built the page you can edit it as often as you like.
On Helium, you choose a preselected topic and submit an article to it. It is published about 5 seconds later, and than other users vote on it. It must be perfect before submitting though, because you can not edit or make changes after submiting.
On Associated Content, you have to submit each article for review, and it takes about 2 weeks for their editos to get around to putting your article on the site, and they may reject it, or remove it later on.
Squidoo is by far the best, both in terms of user friendlyness, editing ability, and the amount of pay; but haveing articles on all three, well get your name out there in front of more people. When you are just starting out, geting you name out there is more important than getting money. Once you have established yourself as a writer that here to stay, you’ll start getting publishing offers and before you know it, you’ll be getting paid to write.
Hope this helps you out. Good luck!

Me - August 2010
The sun with loving light
Makes bright for me each day,
The soul with spirit power
Gives strength unto my limbs.
In sunlight shining clear
I reverence, O God ,
The strength of humankind
Which Thou so graciously
Hast planted in my soul
That I, with all my might,
May strive to work and learn.
From Thee flow light and strength,
To Thee rise love and thanks.

I've been reading blogs since 1997, and writing blogs since 2003. Star Log is my original, most heavily trafficked (getting thousands of hits a day), oldest, biggest, most posted on, and by far the longest of the 34 blogs I write.
Getting your own blog linked here has been known to send large amounts of traffic to your blog, as my readers are quick to read pretty much anything I recommend. (Ain't that just great?!).
Well, in 14 years reading blogs and 8 years writing blogs, I've read and commented on pretty much every blog out there, and today my blog roll hold a whopping 1,000+ links. I read a lot of blogs and I may be reading yours.
Are you on Star Log's BlogRoll?
(Old Badge Shown! Script Frezny is now held in April!)
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
In 2009 I was selected to be the Municipal Liaison for The Southern Maine Charter of The Script Frenzy Contest. We have both year round in in-contest meetings open to all Maine writers. Meeting are held, same time, same place every year.
Here is a listing of the Write-In dates, times, and locations. These are the same as they were last year, and are the same as we have used for NaNoWriMo for over 5 years, so these dates/locations are pretty steady and not likely to change much. Should there be any changes, announcement will be made on this thread.
The Year Round General Writing Get-Togethers:
When: Every Sunday, all year long, every year.
Where: Westbrook: Panera
Time: All day long from 9AM - 7PM
NOTE: This is the "BIG" meeting, where all of Maine's MLs for both NaNoWriMo and Script Frenzy get together with all writers from the entire state. I am only there from 2PM - 5PM, and I am only guaranteed to be here every week in April and November, the rest of the year I'm there as my personal schedule permits, but other writers come and go through out the day, every week, all year long, you'll have to check with individual persons if you want to plan on getting there the same time they do.
The In-Contest Script Frenzy & NaNoWriMo Write-In Meet-Ups:
When: Mondays:
March-April-May
&
October-November-December
Where: Saco: Golden Rooster
Time: 10AM - 1PM
The In-Contest Screnzy Only (April) Meetings:
When: Saturdays in April
Where: Portland: Downtown Public Library
Time: 1PM - 3 PM
Impromptu Meetings:
When: year round
Where: check this thread for announcements
Time: varies

What is the difference between a Meet-Up and a Write-In?
Meet-Up:
A social gathering where writers can sit back, relax, and talk about writing, life, the universe, and everything. Usually held at a cafe, coffee shop or fast food joint, where we can eat and write while we talk.
Write-In:
Like a Meet-Up, only every one is quietly typing at their laptops or scribbling on paper pads, furiously writing as many pages as possible.
Are these Meet-Ups or Write-Ins?
Both. Every one comes together and spends the day chatting and/or writing.
What are Impromptu Meetings?
Impromptu Meetings:
A spur of the moment meeting, that was not planned ahead.
These can be any place, any time, through out the year. Any member can announce them. All you got to do is, post here and say:
"I'm going to be at ____ at _____ o'clock today/tomorrow/next Friday. I'll be getting some writing done while I'm there. You guys are welcomed to come join me."
Please be sure to include the day, place, and time.
Impromptu Meetings are often just the person who made the announcement, which is okay. A meeting of one, can still be fun...I do it several times a week! Sometimes another person will show up to join you (usually me). If you are lucky 2 or 3 other people may join you, as well, though it's not so common. If I'm not doing something else on that day, I make an effort to try to show up at all the Impromptu Meetings announced by members.
Where can we hold Impromptu Meetings?
Any place really. At a public library is a common choice. Panera, MacDonald's, Starbucks, SubWay, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Wendy's and other such places are good options if you want to eat and write at the same time. In your living room at your house if you want. I know of a couple of members who get on the Amtrak Downeaster and spend the day on the train writing from Portland to Boston.
Places we have had Impromptu Meetings in the past, that I have personally attended, have included the following:
```Old Orchard Beach Libby Library
```Saco Dyer Library
```Biddeford McArther Library
```Portland Downtown Library
```Portland Burbank Library
```Wells Library
```Food Court at the Maine Mall
```South Portland Starbucks at Target
```Panera in Westbrook
```Panera in Biddeford
```Pizza by Michael in Saco
```MacDonald's in: Saco, Biddeford, Scarborough, Sanford
```Burger King in: Saco, Biddeford
```SubWay in: Old Orchard Beach, South Portland, Kennebunk, Biddeford
```Dairy Queen in Biddeford
As you can see from the list, I do travel across quite a big distance to make an effort to meet with my fellow writers during Script Frenzy and NaNoWriMo!
A Note About In-Home Meetings:
Personally I prefer meetings in public places as opposed to in people's homes, just you know, safer. So I do not recommend having Write-Ins at your home, and NEVER-EVER-EVER post your home address or phone number on a public forum! Remember - we want you to be safe, so only list Impromptu Meeting Announcements for public locations where there will be lots of people around!
If you want to hold meetings in your own home, send private messages ONLY to those people whom you know personally (never to strangers).
And yes, you are more than welcomed to gather up your friends and have your own personal Write-Ins at home with no need to get permission from us or post an announcement!
