"How to make money writing for the web"

I really like this article's emphasis on the importance of reading different types of writing, and then deciding for yourself whether it works... or doesn't. With any type of professional writing, and especially in the process of cultivating your own sense of style, it seems a must to discern what writing you like to read, and what writing makes you fall asleep, or worse -- get angry at how bad it is.

Everyone always thinks that their style of writing is the best, and makes the most sense, but until you have really read what's out there, and perhaps experienced something that does the trick better than you can, you cannot stand fully confident of your product. Reading and writing, as a rule I believe, present the most important form of "research" for anyone that wants to become a good writer. And, it's something that never stops: you have to read, and read a lot of different things, to write well. And you need to write often, bad or good, to write well.
